Weight loss guru Terri-Ann Nunns, who is also the creator of the Terri-Ann 123 Diet Plan, revealed that there are actually "some really simple changes you can incorporate into your daily routine whilst sitting at your desk at work, or at home going about day-to-day tasks, which can help to increase the amount of calories you burn". Some of them may be things people are already doing and they can burn more calories "than you would ever think".

Terri-Ann shared nine alternative exercises to burn calories without going to the gym.

Fidgeting - tapping the foot, shaking the leg or getting up and down - while watching TV, sitting at the desk or eating dinner "burns more calories than you may think because your body is in constant motion, even if you dont realise it," the expert explained.

The weight loss guru said that laughter "truly is the best medicine", even when it comes to weight loss.

Laughing increases the heart rate meaning people burn more calories, and although it won't be a lot, "every little helps," she explained.

Dancing doesn't have to be going to an intense Zumba class at the gym, and people can burn "serious calories just by hitting the town and letting your hair down".

The weight loss expert explained: "Dancing to fast-paced music will really help you shed some calories, so dont feel ashamed of your moves next time you head out and release your inner Beyonc."

People tend to stand still while performing routine activities like brushing their teeth and some even sit down to dry their hair and apply makeup.

However, the daily routine is a great opportunity to burn some calories just by moving around a little more.

"Walking around when youd normally stand still or squatting when youd usually sit can be an effective way of burning calories without even thinking about it," the expert suggested.

Chasing the children around the park, playing games with them and even putting them to bed can help people shed around 78 calories every 20 minutes.

Swapping the lift for the stairs can "really have a big difference on how many calories you burn".

Terry-Ann recommended trying running up and down them on occasion to "increase your heart rate and get a mini workout in-between meetings or when at home".

Housework can sometimes feel more intense than a full-body workout because getting some chores done can help burn an incredible amount of calories.

Cleaning, hoovering and tidying are all physical work and require one to be constantly on the move, similar to if people were working out, the fitness expert explained.

Interestingly, walking in heels can be a really great way to tone and shape your legs, as "they act in a similar way to fitness shoes designed to enhance muscle tone".

Finally, sex can "definitely contribute to burning extra calories," she explained, and the longer your heart rate is maintained at a higher than normal resting rate the more calories people will burn.

Terri-Ann changed her mind and body in just five months by creating a healthy eating plan, the Terri Ann123 Diet Plan a few years ago.

She lost an impressive seven stone in months by following her three-stage weight loss plan where dieters are given step-by-step meal guidance, breakfast and snack choices.

"Each day you are given allowances within each food group for your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. You can create your own meals or use the recipes and meal plans provided in the book," she explained.
