Losing weight can seem like a daunting process. Not only do you have to follow a restricted diet; you also have to find time to exercise. If your schedule is already packed, it may seem like you do not have time for weight loss.

Fortunately, there are simple ways to burn more calories and boost your weight loss. Here, learn about six simple ways to increase your activity level and jump start your weight loss! You will be off and running in that new body in no time.

Focus on High Intensity Interval Training for Increased Calorie Burn

High intensity interval training, which involves alternating periods of intense effort with recovery periods, can help you blast away calories. In 2014, researchers for the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, & Metabolism found that a 20-minute high intensity interval training workout boosted metabolism just as much as 50 minutes of cycling at a steady pace during the 24 hours following the exercise. In the study, participants in the interval training group cycled at a sprint pace for 60 seconds and then recovered for 60 seconds following each sprint. Add high intensity interval training to your routine to increase your metabolism in less time!

Adding interval training workouts to your routine can boost your calorie burn for an entire day. Check out the HealthStatus program based on HIIT and add this to your routine. In addition, drinking caffeine, consuming capsaicin-rich hot sauce, fidgeting, and climbing the stairs are ways to burn calories without much time or effort. With these strategies, weight loss doesn’t have to be complicated!

Wearing a cold vest.

Also known as a cooling vest or ice vest, the revolutionary vests must be used appropriately for you to experience the best results. You need to use it only when you are at a comfortable temperature. Examples of these scenarios are sitting in your car, watching a football game, driving, working in the office or resting in a room or in an outdoor area when not exercising.

You keep the vest in the freezer when you are not using it. It takes less than a minute to get it from the freezer and on your body. After that, you can go about your daily tasks as if the vest does not exist. Wear it as long as you feel comfortable or until the ice melts away. Remove the cold vest and return it into the freezer.

When you wear it twice a day, you burn more calories than you would burn working out in the gym (calorie burning claims are as much as 500 calories a day). It won’t improve your fitness like a trip to the gym will, but anything that can help us boost the metabolism without chemicals is a blessing.

Sip a Cup of Coffee to Drop Weight

Your morning cup of java could actually aid your weight loss efforts. According to the results of a 1990 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, caffeine consumption can increase calorie burn. A second study, published in a 1994 edition of the International Journal of Obesity, found that the consumption of 200 milligrams of caffeine increased calorie burn by 6.7 percent during a three hour period.

Drink your coffee black, and avoid adding fattening creams and sweeteners, or you will cancel out the calorie-burning benefits of caffeine.

Climb the Stairs to Increase Calorie Burn

Stair climbing is a calorie-blasting exercise. According to our calculator, a 140-pound woman will burn 9 calories per minute by running up the stairs. If you are pressed for a time, a few minutes of running up and down the stairs will burn enough calories to speed your weight loss. Actually, any exercises that involve using your body weight, like push-ups or squats, will fire up your calorie burn.

Spice Things up for Weight Loss

You could increase your calorie burn by drizzling some hot sauce on your food. Hot sauce is made from hot peppers, which contain a spice called capsaicin. According to a 2012 study in the journal Chemical Senses, capsaicin increases both calorie burn and fat burn. Use hot sauce to add some flavor to a chicken breast for a healthy dinner, or mix in some hot sauce to spice up your scrambled eggs.

Get up and Move to Burn Calories

Fidgeting could increase your calorie burn and speed up your weight loss. In 1986, researchers for the Journal of Clinical Investigation found that fidgeting was a large contributor to daily calorie burn. In fact, this type of movement resulted in a calorie burn ranging from 100 to 800 calories per day! Tap your foot to the music on the radio while sitting in the office, or get up and walk back and forth while talking on the phone.
