hey, jenn, I ran around 2 miles a day everyday excepet for saturday. and also dancing is a great way to burn off the extra calories your body doesnt need. jumping rope is also a good workout, and jumping jacks, 10 or so pushups a day, and 50 situps a day(every situp burns 1 calorie, so, 50 situps=50calories burned) HOPE THIS HELPED!
