Hope you all had a great week collegiettes! I love being able to see all my friends from home again! All I want to do is my spend my time with them, but it’s still important that I make time for exercise. Here are some easy actions you can incorporate to your daily life to burn a few extra calories here are there:
- Park in the farthest spot away from the store, restaurant, etc.
- Take the stairs
- Walk and talk- when you’re on the phone, pace instead of sitting down!
- Do things by hand- wash your car, clean the house
- Take the long way- no more shortcuts!
- Go shopping- you’ll be on your feet for a while!
- Stand up when you can
- Tap your foot
- Chew gum
- Squat when you go to pick something up off the ground
- Walk, run, or ride your bike for transportation whenever you can
- Relax- high levels of stress can lead to weight gain!
- Do ab, arm, and leg exercises when watching TV (Not just during the commercials!)
- Be on your feet at least 10 minutes of every hour- it’s a good break from your work too!
- Walk the dog (or jog!)
- Cook! Not only will you be burning calories from standing, slicing, and dicing, but you’ll be eating a nice healthy homecooked meal!
- Sing and dance to your favorite new songs (don’t be embarrassed!)
- Invest in a jump rope, hula hoop, and step to stay active while you watch TV
- Garden and weed!
- Practice the piano or another musical instrument if you know how!
- March in place or do high knees in place
- At the grocery store- take a basket if you can!
- At the airport- carry your luggage if you can instead of rolling it
- Jump!
- Laugh!
Hope you guys enjoy!
Have a great weekend,
