Ten Ways To Burn 200 Calories

Now that the weather is nicer (it will be +16 Celsius in Toronto tomorrow!) we can participate in a wide variety of fun outdoor activities to keep us in shape.

Need a quick workout? Need some summertime workout suggestions? You have come to the right place!

TEN Ways to Burn 200 Calories in Under an Hour

1. Play a game of Frisbee for an hour. I do this every weekend in the summer.
   


2. Head to the nearest bike path and go In-line skating for only 25 minutes! My favourite place to break out the blades is the boardwalk in the Beaches and the Lakeshore bike bath in the west end.
   


3. Round up a team for 25 minutes of beach volleyball.
   


4. Grab a partner for a 25 minute singles game of tennis.
   


5. Spend 45 minutes during the weekend planting a vegetable or flower garden.
   


6. Go for a leisurely downstream paddle in a canoe for 55 minutes.
   


7. Walk the dog or take the baby out for an hour.
   


8. Go for a 35 minute swim. Especially when the Toronto summer hits, what an awesome way to cool off and get a swimmer's physique.
   


9. Create your own boot camp with crunches, jumping jacks and push-ups and work it for 25 minutes. This is a great tip for a mid-jog workout. Take care of your cardio and strength training in one shot!
   


10. Mow the lawn for 45 minutes. If like me and most Torontonians you have a sliver of lawn, then you have to include raking in that too!
    

Getting fit is a lot easier in the spring and summer months. It also puts you in a fantastic mood! So get off that indoor sweat machine, stop staring at the numbers in front of you and get outside for some fresh air and healthy activities!

Have Fun!
