The 普通の／平均（する） 復活祭 egg 含む／封じ込めるs around 530 calories, but 追加する the irresistible chocolate 扱う／治療するs 設立する in the middle and you're looking at a diet-破産した／（警察が）手入れするing 1,000 calories per 一括d egg.

With the bikini season on the not-too-distant horizon, what's the best way to banish those extra calories? Fitness 専門家 JANEY HOLLIDAY shows you how.

1 The fastest way to get rid of that chocolate egg is to run at a constant 速度(を上げる） of 7mph (an 8.5-minute mile) for an hour. Of course, you'll need to have a pretty good level of fitness already ーするために 達成する this.

Dropping your 速度(を上げる） to 5mph (or a 12-minute mile) means you'll need to run for about an hour and 20 minutes. Either way, that's a lot of running.

Egg-cellent idea: The fastest way to get rid of that chocolate is to run at a constant 速度(を上げる） of 7mph for an hour

2 If you don't like running, kick-ボクシング comes a の近くに second, 燃やすing around 900 calories an hour depending on how much you 押し進める yourself during the 開会／開廷／会期. To 攻撃する，衝突する that 1,000-calorie 示す, 調書をとる／予約する in for a one-on-one 開会／開廷／会期 with a trainer and 連合させる upper and lower 団体／死体 punches and kicks with intermittent skipping 始める，決めるs and keep training at as high an intensity as you can 耐える.?

Or why not try squash, which is almost as 税金ing as kick-ボクシング (you 燃やす more than 800 calories an hour on 法廷，裁判所). Tennis, however, is いっそう少なく 効果的な, es pecially （テニスなどの）ダブルス. A （テニスなどの）シングルス match will 燃やす about 400 to 500 calories per hour, so you'd need to stay on 法廷，裁判所 for two hours, or three hours for （テニスなどの）ダブルス.?

3 Surprisingly, swimming is one o f the best calorie-burners? -? but, again, only if you really 押し進める yourself. Calorie 支出 depends on which 一打／打撃 you choose and how hard you work: an hour of furious 前線 はう will 明白に have far more of an 影響 than a lazy 背泳.

Sixty minutes of continuous バタフライ gets you to around the 1,000- calorie 示す; continuous breast-一打／打撃 at a reasonably 急速な／放蕩な pace 燃やすs 750 calories an hour; 前線 はう comes in at 700; 背泳 at around 600, and a leisurely swim drifts in at 400? -? meaning you would have to spend two hours in the pool to 転換 that egg.

4 A leisurely cycle around town will 燃やす only about 350 calories an hour, but work on your 速度(を上げる） and you could 攻撃する，衝突する around the 600-calorie 示す.

Think 小旅行する de フラン? -? 始める，決める a punishing pace, 追加する some hill climbs and flat sprints? -? and you'll say goodbye to a whopping 950 calories an hour. If you're too weak-willed to 始める，決める your own pace, try a spinning class. You could 燃やす about 800 calories an hour.

5 Although a stroll doesn't sound like a 広大な／多数の／重要な way to expend energy, there are ways to make walking more 効果的な, helping you 燃やす calories in いっそう少なく time. Walking at 3mph (20-min mile) 燃やすs only 300 calories an hour but 引き上げ（る）ing 上りの／困難な at the same pace 燃やすs around 425 calories an hour.

Nordic 政治家 walking, where you walk using 政治家s that help 推進する yourself 今後 and use the upper 団体／死体 muscles at the same time, 燃やすs 30 to 40 per cent more calories than walking without them.

6 A high-衝撃 エアロビクス class will wipe out around 600, but a more gentle, low-衝撃 エアロビクス class uses only around 400 calories.

Jump to it: Skipping can 燃やす 700 calories an hour

追加するing a step is a 広大な／多数の／重要な way to 増加する calorie 支出: using a 6in to 8in step for an hour 燃やすs around 750 calories, while using a 10in to 12in step takes it 権利 up to 900.

BodyPump is a good class for calorie 燃やすing too? -? it 連合させるs 負わせるs, movement, and step in one high-energy workout.

7 家事 and general きれいにする chores are a good 交替／補充 for the gym. You might be surprised by how many calories you 燃やす doing 家事.

きれいにする, vigorous vacuuming, scrubbing, moving furniture and 解除するing boxes can 追加する up to around 450 calories an hour if done continuously and at 速度(を上げる）? -? so dig out those rubber gloves and spring-clean away that egg.

8 If you have a garden, get out in it. Doing the 半端物 bit of weeding and potting won't get you far? -? but hoeing, digging, raking leaves and moving マリファナs and 捕らえる、獲得するs of compost for 60 minutes will help you 燃やす around a third of your 復活祭 indulgence at about 350 calories an hour.

9 Getting active with your children is a 広大な／多数の／重要な way to 燃やす off calories and it's fun too? -? so get outside and use your imagination, 特に if you are on holiday.

Create a treasure 追跡（する）, roll eggs 負かす／撃墜する hills, play hopscotch, introduce your children to French elastics, start a game of hide and 捜し出す, tag or red rover? -? anything that gets you all moving and using energy. The more active you are, the more calories you will 燃やす. That old playground favourite skipping 燃やすs 700 calories per hour, too, so 割れ目 out a rope.

he more active you are, the more calories you will 燃やす. That old playground favourite skipping 燃やすs 700 calories per hour, too, so 割れ目 out a rope.

10 If you just can't 動機づける yourself to get 負かす／撃墜する to the gym, dive into the pool, 取り組む 家事 or children's games, try having an 早期に night with your partner: kissing 燃やすs anywhere between 50 and 100 calories an hour, depending how 熱烈な you are, while 穏健な to vigourous 性の activity can 燃やす up to 400 calories an hour.?
