If you can't or don't want to do rigorous aerobic exercise here are a few bits of information and ideas that can help you burn calories:

First of all you must have clear in your mind that what makes you lose weight is a caloric deficit, calories taken minus calories burned.

Create a caloric deficit for your body and you will lose body fat and weight, it's that simple, and it is recommended to achieve a desired caloric deficit by reducing 50% from your consumption of foods and 50% from burning calorie activities.

You cannot override the laws of thermodynamics and energy balance. You must be in a calorie deficit to burn fat.

From one of exercise to burning calories.

Your body burns calories for many reasons, even while you sleep, as a matter of fact the highest percentage of calorie consumption comes from the energy that your body requires to keep all your internal organs functioning (Basal Metabolic Rate).

Once you know that any burning calorie activity and not necessarily rigorous aerobic exercise will help you burn fat now you can 'switch' to move to any activity that suits this purpose.

And every little bit helps.

One piece of information that may also help is to understand the role that muscle movement and muscle building plays on burning calories.

When you move your muscles they require energy and they take it by burning fat and it the energy consumption does not end when you finish the movement, muscles need to re-adjust and to do so they keep burning fat long after you finish their movement.

Muscle movement doesn not require aerobic exercise, and simple resistance movement achieves desired results.

Your biggest muscle group exists in your legs.

There are a number of activities that you can get yourself to do or participate in that will help you burn calories and that are not rigorous aerobic exercise, below we present some examples for your consideration:
