Burn an extra 100 calories a day and that’s 3,500 calories in 35 days.
Doesn’t sound a lot but that’s an extra 10.5lbs in a year.
Just imagine doing a couple of the things on the list every day…
Do three of them and that’s over 30lbs extra lost a year.
All 10 and that’s an extra 100lbs plus a year!
