Be active all day is the key to a general well-being and weight loss. Try these strategies to move more during the day.
1. Walk speaking
Make it a rule: each time you use the phone, walk while talking or wander the area where the device is if it has a thread. So enjoy yourself 5 or 10 minutes of movement.
2. Talk rather than email
Experts from the Stanford Prevention Research Center found that just sending an email instead of at the office of a colleague was taking 5 kg in 10 years.
3. Lift weights while watching TV
If you like watching a TV show in the morning, keep a dumbbell at hand and make weight sunrises all commercials: there's nothing like small movements to get great results.
4. Wear a pedometer all day
Instead of only measuring the total number of steps you take each day, divide your working life into two parts: one while you are walking, the other the rest of the time. The results may surprise you. If you walk especially for exercise, your activity is unbalanced and it could keep you from being in shape and lose weight. As we have seen, it is better to spread your business. This is not to abandon the exercises: you will find significant benefits - calorie loss, better cardiovascular condition and better overall health. Rather, it is to introduce more activity into your daily life in order to keep your metabolism on alert.
5. Work sitting on a large ball
This initiative will bring you to be more active while you work on the computer by requiring you to use your leg muscles to keep your balance.
6. At work, take a smaller cup
Or a smaller glass. Consequences: more trips to get a coffee or water.
7. Count your calories
In addition to the pedometer, new devices like the Nike + SportBand strap allow you to track speed, distance, elapsed time and calories burned. This gives you more reasons to be proud of you and continue.
8. Massage your buttocks
You will have a great behind! Do it in your car or at your desk. Nobody needs to know .
9. exercise sessions twice daily
If your work or lifestyle does not allow you to move enough, halve the time you spend exercising. For example, if you walk for an hour in the evening, after work, go to half an hour after lunch and half an hour after the evening meal. Two shorter sessions stimulate your metabolism more than one long session.
10. Make love often
Did you know that making love three times a week - do not worry: nothing wrong with that - consumes 7500 calories per year, equivalent to 120 km of jogging? "Say, honey, can you go home early tonight?"
11. Laugh often
An estimated 100 movements of the diaphragm to laugh compare to 10 minutes aerobic work on a rowing machine. Laugh, you will stimulate your metabolism.
12. Work up
Ah, to have an office where you can work standing with a treadmill nearby (which would recognize him, a good way to stay awake at work). But if you have a laptop and a tablet placed on top, place your computer where you can work or standing, be it 10 minutes at a time. Your lower back will thank you and you will burn calories in barely moving.
In fact, our treadmill desk was not a joke. Visit the website of Woodway DeskMill . You will see a treadmill appears when you lift the desk so you can walk while working. Expensive, but ingenious.
13. Have the move
Shake your feet, move your legs, fingers strum, raise your heels and draw circles with your toes while at your desk - all things considered. Have itchy feet, it's losing a lot of calories: studies demonstrate.
14. Squeeze a stress ball
And this, even if you are not stressed. You'll burn calories while musclant your forearms. Keep one in the car and use the red light.
