According to the studies done, around 1000 people are declared obese, every single day. So the obesity rate has reached an alarming figure. Well, considering our sedentary life styles it shouldn’t come as a surprise. We drive where ever we have to; we sit whole day at our desk and do all our work at the click of a mouse, thanks to the internet!

Given such a lifestyle, it is foreseeable that we all will become obese, but there are quick and effective ways in which you can lose weight. The best way is doing exercises.

No, I do not mean that you have to sweat it out daily in the gym for hours. Even 15 minutes of exercise can help you burn as much as 100 calories.

The first thing that you have to do is make an effort to move. Remember, when you were young staying indoors would seem like a punishment, but now all you want to do is to sit at home watch TV and spend endless hours chatting.

When you have free time make sure to go out, play any game that you like playing and indulge in some activity. It will not only refresh you but, you will also end up reducing a lot of calories.

To burn the extra 100 calories, here are some of the things that you can try.

Walking: It is one of the cheapest, simplest and the most effective way of losing calories. Brisk walking for 15 minutes will help you to attain your target of losing 100 calories. You can slowly increase the time you spend on walking. If you do not get sufficient time to go out on a morning walk, then you can try incorporating walking in the daily activities.

What I mean to say is that you can get down a stop before your usual stop when at work and walk the rest of the distance. Resist the temptation of using the lift and use the stairs.

Video Workout: 15 minutes of video workout for four to five times a week can help you to burn calories. Just select the video workout that you like and get started!

Skipping: Skipping ropes are extremely effective in not only losing weight, but also shaping your upper body. It helps to strengthen the lungs and the heart also.

Skipping ropes are light and cheap and can be used practically anywhere and anytime. It is important that you stretch your muscle before and after each skipping session.

Although initially you may find it difficult t skip for 15 minutes at a stretch, but you will be amazed at how quickly your body will be able to respond to the 15 minutes skipping exercise.
