Everyone knows that time is short and exercise is hard. So, here are some suggestions to up the daily burn and some suggestions for quick calorie blasting exercises:
Increasing your daily calorie expenditure basically means that you are simply adding in more movement throughout your day that causes your body to require more calories for that day to sustain itself. Some easy ways to accomplish this are pretty obvious, but not always at the forefront of our conscious mind. This is my reminder...
- Park at the farthest spot from the store door or at the opposite end of the mall from the store you are trying to reach.
- Take the stairs. Even in your own home. Rather than piling things at the bottom and taking big load up at once, choose to take the items up one at a time as you gather them.
- Fidget. It has been researched and proven by the Mayo Clinic that those who fidget (picture a knee bouncing like crazy or the gal who can't stop twirling her hair) burn 70 to 100 calories more per hour when they stand compared to laid-back people who stand still.
- Eat regularly throughout the day. Your body conserves energy by lowering your metabolism when it has not eaten for quite some time. So skipping breakfast, skipping meals, and going on starvation diets are counter-productive to weight loss. And the ultimate tendency is to eventually give in and binge.
- Do a short circuit of 10 push-ups, 10 squats, and 10 lunges on each leg. Repeat as many times as you can in the amount of time you have.
- Jump rope. It's not just for kids!
