Everyone wants to trim, tone, and tighten their waist and body, but the problem
is most people just don’t burn enough calories during the day.
In some ways it’s really not your fault.
You may work at a desk for 8 – 10 hours a day and have very few opportunities
to get up and move around during the day. BUT, you can’t let that be an excuse
for you not to burn more calories than you take in.
I’ve found the best way around this issue is to have my clients get away
from their desk for 30+ minutes during lunch. I encourage them to go for a brisk
walk before sitting down to eat a healthy and nutritious meal.
Even a 20 minute fast-paced walk gets the blood flowing and the metabolism
raised. You’ll also burn about 100 calories in that 20 minutes.
I also recommend my clients look for other ways (besides their actual workouts)
to be active and burn calories in creative ways throughout the day and on the
weekends.
Here are 5 fun and easy ways to get up out of your chair, stretch your legs, and
start getting fit.
Quick 100 Calorie Burners:
1. Brisk Walking 3.5mph – only 20 minutes
2. Kayaking or Lap Swimming – only 15 minutes
3. Cross-Country Hiking – only 10 minutes
4. Yard Work – only 15 minutes
5. Jumping Rope – only 10 minutes
These are just 5 of the hundreds of ways you could be active and offset many of
the calories you consume throughout the day.
Of course, you’ll have more freedom to be creative with your workouts and
activity level on your days off from work, but either way you can always fall back
on jump rope or fast-paced walking.
These little “mini-workouts” can add up big-time too…
Just one 100-calorie burner a day can equal 1 lb. a month in additional weight
loss!
That’s great when you think about it since all you really need to do is add an
extra 10-20 minutes of healthy exercise to your typical day to lose another 1
pound a month.
I hope these ideas started to spark your creativity and you’re thinking of new
ways you can get up and get moving for an extra 20 minutes or so a day!
