Play With a Puppy for 30 Minutes
I don't think I've ever said no to playing with a puppy! But, when you think about it, playing with a pup does take a lot of work. Have you ever tried to keep a 10 week old puppy under control? They are squirmy, full of energy, and can disappear under the couch in 5 seconds. So, whether you're throwing the ball in the backyard or making sure your new pup doesn't run into the living room and pee on the carpet, it's easy to see how playing with a puppy can burn 100 calories.

Sing Karaoke for 45 Minutes
The other people at the bar might not be too stoked if you sing for 45 minutes, especially if you're off pitch, but if you're burning 100 calories who cares! Unfortunately, drinking and getting your karaoke on isn't going to do anything for you, because booze has a lot of calories. I know, sober karaoke is no fun, but you can deal with it for the fake exercise.
Oh, and if you like to move and groove while you sing that will up your calories count! Having a dance party burns 200 calories in 30 minutes, so throw some high kicks in with your karaoke and you'll burn 300 calories in no time.
