5 Things: Burn 100 Holiday Calories

Holidays are a great time to get together with family and friends, to share laughter and memories, and to eat a ton of delicious decadent foods. Here are five easy ways to burn 100 calories around this time of year:
1. Vacuum your entire house before your guests arrive for 25 minutes.
2. Clean vigorously around the house for 30 minutes, scrubbing the shower and bathroom, washing the windows and floors, and sweeping the stairs.
3. Iron your family's fancy party clothes so they look pressed and neat for 25 minutes.
4. Crank up the holiday tunes and dance with your family and friends for 20 minutes.
5. Take your dog, or just yourself for a brisk 15 minute walk.
You've got to do all of this stuff anyway, right? Well, maybe not the ironing! Now you know at least, that all that hard work is burning calories too.
