Burn more Calories by Fidgeting

Using the couch potato as a base, burning more calories should be easy. Someone who is always on the couch, not moving, watching TV, and snacking will burn fewer calories. Getting up often, moving around the house, standing while working, etc is a good start to burning those calories.

Just become more active. Use an app on your smartphone to send an alarm every 15 or 30 minutes to remind you to get moving. These apps are great and sometimes annoying. But they do the job of reminding you to get moving. They are helpful if you are not a normally fidgety person.

Look around you. Watch the people who are slim. Are they more active? Are they the fidgety types? Some will be naturally athletic, however many will just be active and this really helps to burn the calories. Now is the time to start. Get up from your desk or couch and start walking. Carry your smartphone with you if needed, but get moving and make it a habit.
