Confession: I’ve never had trouble losing weight.

In fact, I have trouble gaining weight, especially if I’m trying to put on muscle.

So why in the world am I writing this article?

Well, I stumbled upon some interesting tidbits when I was trying to figure out why it’s so hard for me to pack on the pounds. Turns out, I’ve built my lifestyle on a foundation that encourages weight loss.

As I dove into research, I figured it’d be a good idea to write down what I’ve found, in case it helps anyone trying to shed pounds rather than pick them up.

In this article, I’ll show you five ways to burn calories without doing a single squat, push-up or jumping jack. Heck — to reap the benefits of these strategies, you don’t even have to take a single step.

So if you’re having a hard time getting motivated in your fitness journey, use these tips to build momentum. Once you experience how easy burning calories can be, you just might be inspired to pick up some weights or go on that dreaded run.

1. Get Cold

Good news: you burn calories just by being cold.
