I've found that it's all about balance - balancing your diet and exercise, your work and family, your laundry and the phone on your shoulder - that's why I decided to post this little activities list that I found. It'll help you burn some extra calories without breaking any promises to yourself or buying an expensive gym membership that you'll never use.
Here are some activities that will help burn a few extra calories, and won't flex your schedule too much.
