Burn Calories By Fidgeting

A study by the Mayo Clinic has found that people who fidget burn more calories. You, too, can burn calories by fidgeting. With plenty of fidgeting, you could potentially lose weight without even going to the gym. For example, you can burn calories by:

• chewing gum and burn 11 calories per hour
• standing instead of sitting and burn 20 calories per hour
• tap your toes and burn 9 calories per hour

While it may not seem that you’re burning very many calories, it does add up over time. Fidget and burn calories by going to the gym and lose even more weight.  If you move every time you have the opportunity, Mayo Clinic researchers found that you could burn almost 400 calories a day.
