Burn 10,000 Calories This Month

Sound impossible? I assure you it's not. Each of the activities listed below will burn off 10,000 calories if done throughout the month.

(Calories burned are estimated based on an average 150 lb. person.)

• Ready to make a splash? Spend just four and a half hours swimming per week and you'll burn 10,000 calories.
  
• Joggina and bicycling are other heavy hitters. One hour a day, five days a week and you'll hit the 10,000 mark.
  
• Sound a bit too strenuous? Never fear. Just take a brisk walk for one hour every day (yes, weekends too) to burn off 10,000 calories.
  
• Do you have a small child? Great news...you can burn 10,000 calories by carrying them around for an hour and forty minutes a day.
  
  
• Are you a do-gooder? By working two seven hour shifts per week serving food to the homeless you can blast away 10,000 calories.
  
• You can even get rid of those 10,000 calories by watching TV...35.5 hours per week! Just make sure that you are not snacking while doing this "exercise".
  

In no time at all, you'll find yourself 10,000 calories lighter.

Shannon Tani is a former fattie, who weighed over 220lbs. She has currently lost over 70lbs. One day she realized that people would rather hear dieting advice from someone who's "been there, done that" than a boring old doctor who's never been fat a day in his life. So she started the website Better Off Fat to share her experiences and ideas.
