Effective Ways to Lower Your BMI by Burning Fat

The Body Mass Index, referred to as BMI, is a number based on a person's height and weight. Though not an exact science, it is a reliable indicator of the level of fatness in an average person. A good way to reduce your BMI is to burn fat currently stored in your body. The key to doing it successfully is finding ways of burning fat that are fun and easy to work into a busy schedule.

Instructions

• 1

  Take the stairs whenever possible instead of an elevator or escalator. Even if it's several flights, don't pass up the opportunity of squeezing in a quick workout during the day. It's not only good for burning fat, it's a great cardio exercise as well.

• 2

  Park as far from the door as possible. Whether it's a trip to the mall or your daily commute to the office, park as far away as you can because the extra steps add up over the long haul.

• 3

  Use a pedometer and set a daily goal to step up the amount you move each day. Most people are shocked at first when they discover how little they actually walk during the course of a day. Pedometers are fairly inexpensive and a great way to motivate you to increase your fat burning activity.

• 4

  Add weight resistance training to your exercise routine. Increasing muscle mass is a great way to burn energy and use up your daily calorie intake as muscles burn more energy than fat.
