10 Ways to Burn 1,000 Calories and Not Even Realizing

Burning calories is a lot more easier when it doesn’t feel like you are working out to burn calories. How hard you are exercising to burn calories and how many calories you are actually burning are two different things and the latter is known as rate of perceived exertion or RTE in which a person thinks he is burning more calories but it is not same to how much calories are actually being burned.

People always surrender working out when their playlists dry out or when they think they had done enough workout for the day. An interesting review published in 2012’s issue of an International Sport’s magazine, stated that listening to an upbeat music reduces the RTE hence, improving the energy efficiency of the body by boosting better performance.
