Drink Wine

Drink Wine
Sure, wine has little-to-no nutritional value, but you can technically burn calories with every sip of that rosé (we're just choosing to forget that with every gulp you're also taking in more calories that you could possibly burn by lifting that delicate stemware).

Burns: 34 calories in 30 minutes

Time before you burn off one glass of white wine: 3 hours 32 minutes, or just enough continuous drinking to forget all about calories -- and everything else.

Boost your burn: Swig straight from that two-pound bottle, and you're basically doing bicep curls.

There are like a million shows to choose from. Do you know how much energy it takes to surf through all of that?

Burns: 36 calories in 30 minutes

Time it takes to burn off a bag of popcorn: Six hours and 49 minutes -- or about seven episodes of "Orange is the New Black."

Boost your burn: Actually get up to change the channel (assuming that there are televisions that still work like that today).

Laugh

Laugh
You feel it in your abs for a reason.

Burns: 50 calories per 30 minutes

Time before you burn off four spoonfuls of Nutella: Two hours and 46 minutes

Boost your burn: Watch some Amy Schumer. You'll laugh even harder.

Your incessant foot tapping might drive your officemate nuts, but it could be doing wonders for your waistline.

Burns: 50 calories in 30 minutes

Time it takes to burn off a California roll: Two hours and 33 minutes

Boost your burn: Add some seat squirming to that finger drumming and knee shaking. To quote the infinite wisdom of LMFAO: "Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, yeah."

Have Sex

Have Sex
Go forth and get busy: Your burn will fluctuate depending on how rigorous you make your mattress-dance (our number is considered moderate). Just don't break the bed.

Burns: 61 calories in 30 minutes

Time it takes to burn off a serving of fro-yo: 56 minutes

Boost your burn: Get on top. You'll torch about 75 calories in a half an hour, and supposedly, an extra 52 to 57 calories if you orgasm (how's that for win-win?).
