If telling people we “don’t have time” or we “don’t enjoy exercising” burned calories, gyms and fitness centers would cease to exist. We’re busy. We’re tired. We don’t want to expend the morsel of energy we have left on a workout after a long day.

However, we totally should.

Research shows that regularly exercising can increase our energy and decrease our feelings of fatigue. The best part? Low-intensity movement, like leisurely walks and enjoyable swims, have proven more impactful than intense exercise in making people feel fueled and energetic. This kind of activity can help us burn calories, and that’s on top of the ones we already shed in our natural states.

The Mayo Clinic recommends incorporating 30 minutes of physical activity into our daily routines, with men and women consuming 2,500 and 2,000 calories, respectively, to maintain their weight. Feeling uninspired or still unconvinced to do this?

Here are 24 burn-worthy ways to get fit without the fuss in just 30 minutes:

Surely, this isn’t an exhaustive list of simple, subtle ways to conquer some calories, as you’ve likely even shredded a few while you read this article! Although staying active and burning calories are helpful in leading a healthy lifestyle, counting them is only a fraction of the fitness equation. These quantities, like the averages shared above, are also largely linked to our identities, abilities, weights and other factors.

If being healthy is the goal of your fitness journey, then keep that in mind during your next sweat sesh. Count calories if they’re key, but prioritize what makes you feel healthy and happy above all else. However you want to burn, make it yours!
