Burn Baby, Burn

If you're trying to lose weight or just stay in shape, every bit of activity you get — from taking the stairs to dancing around your living room — can add up to pounds lost over time. Just dancing for 30 minutes three times a week can burn two pounds of fat in a year. Take those stairs for 30 minutes a week for a year's time and you can lose another pound of fat. Get back into your tennis game or jogging and the calorie burn really adds up.
