Prevention's ideas on how to lose weight

Hello!
I was reading Prevention Magazine and they had simple ways to burn extra calories each day.

1. Do crunches in bed. Draw your knees toward your chest 25 to 50 times to rev your energy. Add a set at night to double the burn.

2. Dance while you dress. Put on your favorite radio station and add a few shimmies and shakes.

3. Circle the block. Lap the grocery store before you start shopping or take a 15 minute midday walk.

4. Stand up more. Don't sit on the bench at the playground while kids play, walk around.

5. Take a comedy break. Laughing burns calories. Watch funny sketches on the computer or find a sitcom you find funny.

6. Play the post-it game. Write exercises on five or six sticky notes-50 jumping jacks, 20 crunches, 10 push-ups, 25 lunges for example. Have your hubby or kids hide them around the house. When you find one you have to follow the instructions.

7. Target one body part a day. While you watch TV do lunges or squats. The next day sits-up.
Or put hand weights by your bathroom sink and every time you wash your hands, do 10 biceps. By the end of the day you have done about 50. Change body parts each day. I have tried this one and I think my arms are stronger.

8. Make multiple trips. When you do laundry or bring in groceries, don't pile everything. Carry one bag or item at a time.

9. Fidget frequently. Pace while on the phone, bounce your knee, shift in your seat.

10. Move to TV music. Workout on commercials. Jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups. Do them in 30 second intervals.

Hopefully this will help me stay active and burn a few extra calories so I don't feel guilty when I eat a bowl of ice cream while watching TV.
