      Running up and down the stairs a few times? Jumping jacks? Jogging on the spot?

      Edit: According to MFP 4 minutes of running up and down the stairs is about 86 calories. :)

      Wow thanks! I'm stuck in the house today so I will def do the stairs a couple times. Thanks again.

      Buy a skipping rope! (Or Jump rope if you're not from my side of the Atlantic!)

      It's fast, fun and 10 minutes fast skipping burns well over 100 calories.

      I'm after some ideas too. Yesterday I jogged on spot for 10 minutes and only burnt 77 calories. Such a depressingly tiny little number in comparison to the extreme sweating that was going down; I thought I'd burnt a lot more than I had!

      I'm not able to run up and down the stairs as my boyfriend works from home and I can't risk disturbing him, are there any other alternatives out there?

      You can also do:

      Lunges, running in place, push-ups and crunches all done in rapid fire
      Quick, fast shadow boxing for ten minutes
      Jumping rope for ten minutes rapidly
      Running up stairs fast will burn over 100 calories in 10 minutes

      I agree! 20 mins circuit training will burn a lot more than 100 calories and the DVD is so cheap now! It's my home workout of choice :)

      I agree. I think you'd have to do maybe 10 minutes of jumping jacks?

      But not true. Use a HRM, it will likely take you 10 - 15 minutes to burn 100 calories depending on your exertion level.

      I was really chuffed when I saw this, and thought I can do some of those.... then I realised that you have to do ALL of them! :sad: damn!

      You guys realize you have to do all of them in succession to get to the 100 calories right...?
    • Posts: 313 Member
      Oh well thats kinda obvious that you cant burn 100 in one minute
      you have to do it all together thats why it has 'Shake it out' in the end :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

      40 jumping jacks, 30 crunches, 20 squats, and 10 push ups burns 100 calories.

      putting down a cookie saves 100 calories, does that count?
    • Posts: 238 Member
      doing all of them, now that makes sense. ive seen this pic going around facebook and people squeeling over the fact that they just have to move for a minute and lose weight.
