How to Blast 200 Calories in Ten Minutes

Here are a few exercises I researched online that require either standing or a chair. You will also need a water bottle. The water bottle, of course, is for rehydration. It is a great way to burn off a couple hundred pounds in just a few minutes.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A chair
• A water bottle

1. First of all, you will need to warm up before doing any exercises. Walk to the mailbox, do a few light stretches to loosen up, or do this at the end of the day before taking a shower, however, exercising increases the adrenaline in your body and will keep you awake.
   
   Start with push ups and do 15 repetitions of push-ups.

2. Stand in front of a kitchen chair, squat, tap your butt on the seat, and stand up, do this for one minute.

3. Jump up and down, move your arms in circles for one minute.

4. Do 25 jumping jacks then 10 tricep dips in sets of two for about two minutes.

5. Next, run in place with knees high and pumping arms for one minute.

6. Bicycles are done lying face up, hands behind your head and pull one knee in as you extend the other.
   
   20 repetitions of bicycles

7. Pulses are done lying face up, knees bent, arms extended and lift hips, squeezing glutes or butt cheeks.
   
   20 repetitions of pulses

8. Walking lunges are done holding weight at sides and lunge forward with right leg. Repeat on the left side, and keep alternating for one minute.
   
   20 repetitions of walking lunges

9. Tricep dips are done sitting on chair with hands on seat, lift body, and bend elbows to lower yourself on front of your seat. Repeat sets 2 times about 2 minutes.

10. Walking lunges are done holding weight at sides and lunge forward with right leg. Repeat on the left side, and keep alternating for one minute.

Tips & Warnings

• Drink cold water, the colder the better, it burns 70 calories as it warms the water in the stomach.
• If you feel ill call your doctor of 911 for help.
