10 Ways to Burn More Calories
6. Change equipment or activities
If you always head right for the treadmill, take a step class or get on the elliptical trainer and step up the intensity. This may increase the calorie burn of your workout because our bodies work less efficiently doing new exercises than those we're used to. Periodically shifting activities will also decrease the chance of an overuse injury and keep your workouts fresh and fun.
Calorie-burning boost: Step aerobics vs. walking at 3.5 mph burns 237 vs. 177 calories in 30 minutes.

I love to jump rope and agree it's a wonderful way to burn calories...but at work? On a coffee break? If you truly jump the way you should for 10 minutes, you will need a shower after each 10 minute "break"!!
It might also be tricky to find a corner in your office and jump rope in your office attire without attracting some strange looks, LOL. But if it works, hey why not?
can anyone help me? i want to lose 36 lbs in 60 days is that even possible?
I WAS AMAZED AT THIS JUMP ROPE IDEA! WOW!!
Jump Rope for 10 minutes straight. NOT A GOOD IDEA UNLESS YOU DONT SWEAT. NOONE WANTS TO WORK WITH A STINKY CO-WORKER!!
@Cheergirl1263 - that sounds dangerous. Slow and steady is the rule. If you go at it slowly you'll have a better chance of succeeding, and also have a better chance of keeping the weight off. Don't crash diet! Very bad for you.
