Calories Burned During Everyday Activities

Even if you can't find time to squeeze in a full workout, everyday activities burn more calories than you might think! So next time you think you don't have time to worry about exercise, try adding up the calories you burn in a week just by going about your regular routine - the results might surprise you!

All calorie estimates given below are for one hour of that activity and are based on a person weighing 150 pounds.

While you won’t do all of these activities for an entire hour at once, they do add up over time – for example, you don’t brush your teeth for an hour, but if you brush for 2 minutes, twice a day, you’ll burn up to 342 calories/month and a whopping 4104 calories per year!
