20 Ways to Burn 100 Calories

After indulging in a Mother's Day dinner with Chris' mom that included pizza and ice cream, I thought it might be an appropriate time to list various ways to burn off those extra calories. I came across this handy chart at my grocery store that lists the amount of minutes it would take to burn 100 calories while doing the listed activity. For 30 more ways to burn 100 calories, see the full chart here.
