Your body burns calories every day just by existing. A 35-year-old woman who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 135 lbs. will burn approximately 1,383 calories per day doing absolutely nothing, according to the BMI Calculator website. Similarly, a 35-year-old man, who is 6 feet tall and weighs 185 lbs., will burn approximately 1,895 calories by just existing.
Activity Level
The more you increase your activity level, the more calories you will burn. Even small movements done throughout your day, such as taking the stairs rather than the elevator and walking instead of driving, will rev up calorie burning.
Exercise
Exercise is an extremely effective way to increase your calorie burn. Fitness Magazine lists indoor cycling, rope jumping, running, rowing and mountain biking at the top of their list of best calorie burners.
Diet
Eating a healthy diet can help to maximize your calories burned. Just the same, fasting or skipping meals can put your body in starvation mode, slow your metabolism and calorie burn, according to the Body Building fitness website.
