The holiday season is full of activity—decorating the tree, shopping for gifts, and strolling around to see the beautiful lights. But did you know that these festive activities don’t just bring joy—they can also help you burn a few extra calories?
Whether you're dusting off the ornaments or sharing a cozy kiss with your partner, you can stay active and keep the holiday spirit alive. And when you add intimacy to the mix, it’s a win-win for both body and soul!
Vacuuming Under the Tree = 300 Calories
Cleaning up after the holiday chaos may not be glamorous, but vacuuming pine needles or tidying up after decorating can burn up to 300 calories in 30 minutes.
It’s a surprisingly intense workout! The pushing, pulling, and bending can also improve your range of motion.
For an added bonus, try vacuuming the stairs or bending down to pick up stray decorations—it’ll add to the calorie burn!
Holiday Walking = 300 Calories
Take a brisk walk around your neighborhood to admire the holiday lights. This isn’t just a great way to enjoy the season—it can also help you burn 300 calories in 30 minutes.
Walking at a fast pace, climbing stairs, or strolling a little faster than usual can give your heart and muscles a workout, making it a great way to burn off that extra gingerbread cookie.
Kissing = 2 to 3 Calories Per Minute
You might not think of it as a calorie-burning activity, but kissing actually burns between 2 to 3 calories per minute.
So whether you're exchanging sweet kisses under the mistletoe or stealing a quiet moment with your partner, you're giving your body a fun workout.
And when things heat up with passionate kissing, you could burn up to 26 calories per minute!
Dancing the Night Away = 130-250 Calories
Whether you're shaking it on the dance floor at a New Year’s Eve party or just having a fun time with friends and family, dancing is a great way to burn calories.
A 30-minute dance session can burn anywhere from 130 to 250 calories—which is comparable to a light jog.
So go ahead, show off your best moves to ring in the new year!
Ice Skating = Up to 250 Calories
If you’re hitting the rink this winter, you can burn around 250 calories in 30 minutes of skating at a moderate pace.
For those who push themselves harder, you could even burn 500 calories in the same time frame.
Whether you’re gliding around the rink or holding onto the wall, ice skating is a fantastic way to stay active—and it’s a great excuse to cuddle up after!
Sex = 69-101 Calories
And of course, let’s not forget the easiest way to burn calories: SEX.
A typical sexual encounter burns around 101 calories for men and 69 calories for women, averaging about 3.6 calories per minute.
Whether you're getting busy or just sharing a quiet, intimate moment, this is an enjoyable way to burn calories without hitting the gym.
