I am having trouble meeting my calorie goal every day. I always seem to be within 50 to 100 calories over (86 today). I am doing 30 day shred and I occasionally go for long walks. What are some fast, fun, ways to burn about 100 calories?

    Run for 10 - 15 mins - I just downloaded an app called "Zombies, Run!" which has a story line which involves you being chased by zombies now and again so you have to speed up to evade them.

    Or put on some fun music and dance like a mad thing for 15 mins or so.


    And remember, depending on your calorie deficit, you may not need to worry about 100 cals.
    Chances are you still have a decent sized calorie deficit so you will lose weight even if you go over a bit.
    I think it is important to find a calorie level that you are going to be able to sustain for a decent length of time. If you need to increase your cals slightly, but it helps you stick with the plan - then it might be worth slowing down your weight loss by a little bit.

    This is great advice. Being able to stick with your plan long term is much, much more important than playing catch-up everyday. That being said, as your fitness improves, a 100-cal activity will feel like no big deal.

    Hmmm...I can think of something. It can be done in the bedroom, on the couch, in the kitchen, on the washing machine, even in the car! :blushing: :)
