Tip 37: Find Your Target Heart Rate

 
 
 
To get the most benefit from your workouts, the American Heart Association recommends staying within your target heart rate range. Your target heart rate is your resting heart rate plus 50 – 85%. The Mayo Clinic web site has a quick target heart rate calculator you can use.
 
 
Of course, measuring your target heart rate can be a little complicated. The AHA also recommends the “conversation pace” measurement. If you can talk while you workout, you’re probably going at a good pace. If you can sing while working out, you need to push yourself a little harder. If you cannot talk without a lot of effort, you could be working out too hard.
 
 

Tip 38: Burn Calories While You Work

 
 
 
Do you have a desk job that doesn’t provide many opportunities to be physically active? If so, don’t despair; with a little creativity, you can burn extra calories while you sit at your desk.
 
 
You can certainly stretch your arms, shoulders, and neck while sitting down. These stretches will keep you from becoming cramped, and they will also burn a few calories. Conscious fidgeting (tapping your feet, changing position, and getting up to walk around) can burn several hundreds of calories each day. Even chewing gum will burn an additional 11 calories per hour, according to Mayo Clinic researchers.
 
 
If you have the space and money, you can even find tiny exercise bikes that fit beneath a desk. You can pedal while you work, burning 200 – 300 calories per hour.
 
 

Tip 39: Burn Calories in Your Garden

 
 
Many people don’t realize that gardening is hard work until they try it for themselves. But gardening is a real calorie-burner. Check out the number of calories a 150-pound person would burn during an hour of the following activities:
 
* General gardening tasks burn about 270 calories per hour.
 
* One hour of digging and spading burns 340 calories.
 
* An hour of picking fruit, vegetables, and flowers results in a loss of 210 calories.
 
* Laying sod for an hour will burn 340 calories.
 
* Planting trees and shrubs burns 310 calories per hour.
 
* Trimming shrubs and trees for an hour will burn 306 calories. So will an hour of weeding.
 
* Raking the lawn for an hour burns 292 calories.
 
* And the best gardening activity for burning calories is mowing the yard with a push mower. One hour at this task will leave you with a better-looking yard and 400 calories burned!
 
 
So don't entertain excuses. There are many way to burn those calories and lose that weight.
