Invite people over and lose weight

The reasoning behind this is that you would probably want to make your home look neat and presentable before your guests arrive. This may involve cleaning, sweeping, dusting, polishing, vacuuming etc, all of which may help you to break out in a sweat as you burn calories.

You can challenge yourself by maybe calling some friends and inviting them over in an hour and a half or so – thus creating a time frame in which to have to accomplish a certain number of tasks. This will help you to keep up the fast pace and get more active.

If you are providing a meal, this could increase the number of jobs for you to complete. For example if you are having a braai, you would need to have the braai area ready – carry out the chairs, set the cutlery, etc.

Try not to ask anyone to help you, unless you cannot perform a task without another person. After all you are the one trying to shed kilograms, not the other person!
