Because stress slows our metabolism to a crawl. A study from the University of Florida found chronic stress boosts production of betatrophin, a protein that inhibits an enzyme that breaks down fat. And that makes us burn about 14 fewer calories every hour. That may not sound like much, but do that day-in, day-out, and stress could cause you to gain 11 pounds in a year.

Next time you hit the treadmill, raise the incline. Exercise physiologist Tom Holland says the “zero setting” on most machines is actually slightly downhill. He says a 1-point-zero incline will be flatter, and help you burn more calories.

When you’re walking, go a little faster sometimes, then go a little slower…… and keep switching it up. According to the journal Biology Letters, varying your walking speed burns 20% more calories than strolling along at a steady pace.

You can burn calories without traditional exercise. Take your kid’s backpack – or your heavy handbag – and carry those 10 extra pounds around. Throw in a couple hills, and you’ll burn about 415 calories per hour at a regular walking pace. That’s 57 calories more than you’d burn strolling without the backpack or handbag.
