The easiest way to beat any opponent is during a mini game which requires you to use only one arm (ie some of the table tennis and bowling ones). Simply wave your arms side to side, walk around, do anything besides choosing which hand to use. The game won't start until you choose a hand and you can meet your calorie goal before even starting the given match. When you do this, note that your time will go well beyond what the estimated time for each challenge is.

Just like the description says, play and "win" against the Celery character in the Calorie Challenge DLC.
The Celery Challenge is 5 minutes with a goal of burning 26 calories.
The mini-games I played were Pin Rush Bowling, Body Ball Volleyball, Target Kick Football, and then straight up boxing against the Celery, however the game seems to vary the events/mini-games each time.
Your guess is as good as mine about how accurate the calorie counter actually is, but 5 minutes for an easy achievement, enjoy!
The achievement pops AFTER you complete the designated time, NOT when you pass the caloric goal.
EDIT: Also, just doing the challenge for 5 minutes does NOT guarantee you'll burn 26 calories. You need to reach 26+ calories to pop the achievement. Hence, "Break a Sweat" ;-)

There is a very easy way to get all the DLC achievements without breaking sweat :
1. Stand in front of your Kinect sensor as normal
2. Hold a curtain or sheet in front of you so that the bottom of it touches the floor
3. Move the sheet sideways, dragging the bottom of it from left to right (and back again!) along the floor
You will get between 0.30 - 0.50 kcals/second by doing this.. !

ps. I recommend doing all the other fruits/food the same day to finish this dlc quicker and on the next 4 days beat this one once each day.
Best Solution if you still struggle to make it in time!
I do recommend using a big towel, it is easy that way.
Move sideways and wave the towel. Not really necessary to move sideways so much but I do think it speeds it up a bit. What really speeds it up is if you wave harder with the towel, I mean wafe faster. Make it so it reach the floor and just wave very fast to increase the calories.
When you randomly get the table tennis were you can score points between 1,2,3. Just dont serve and stand still with the towel in your hand. (More safer way is to actually not choose left or right hand as you can make calories run from there. This way you wont accidently serve).
You can reach your target here without ending the game as the timer never starts until you serve but your calories goes up.
I also noticed it should also work with one of the bowling events. (Not the one were they charge at you).
Remember you need to finish the event before the achievement unlocks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do this trick, the in game timer will be wrong and you will go overtime and have to play many extra events so you dont really need to get all calories in one go using this trick as you for example would still have to do all that time after. I had to play up to 36 minutes vs the pizza when I did use this trick to catch up a bit.
