Burn-e-funda

Did you know…….. At 40 deg Centigrade a person loses about 14.4 calories per hour by breathing. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching T.V. You must be wondering why that ‘lucky’ person across the table from you doesn’t get fat from all that junk food. Well here is the answer: Metabolic Rate is the rate at which the body burns up calories. A body that consumes 2500 calories a day, and burns 2500 calories a day will stay at the same weight. A body consuming 2500 calories daily but burning only 2000 will gain weight at the rate
of about 1lb a week.
The trick is to keep the ‘keep moving’ message in mind. Write the word ‘move’ on post-it notes and put them in places you’ll notice them when you’re sitting still. Then, take every opportunity to move – here are some simple ideas for burning calories:
Tap your feet
Swing your legs
Drum your fingers
Stand up and stretch
Move your head from side to side
Change position
Wriggle and fidget
Pace up and down
Don’t use the internal phone – go in person
Use the upstairs loo
Park in the furthest corner of the car park
Stand up when you’re on the phone
Clench and release your muscles
SO KEEP ON BURNING……………..
