By changing some of your habits and incorporating my tips into your life you will be surprised how little changes like these can make a difference in your physical appearance and overall health.
1. When possible, leave the car behind. If you have little errands to run (close to your house) hop on a bike or put your legs to use and walk to your destination.
210 calories burned for a 60 min leisurely bike ride
158 calories burned for a 45 min leisurely bike ride
105 calories burned for a 30 min leisurely bike ride
53 calories burned for a 15 min leisurely bike ride
So put the (bike) pedal to the metal!
2. Opt for the stairs instead of escalators.
13 calories burned for walking downstairs for 5 min
39 calories burned for walking upstairs with carrying a load for 5 min
3. Park further away from the main entrance from the grocery store, mall, garden center or wherever you drive to. By parking further, you will have to walk further (surprise, surprise) Plus, on the walk back to your car, you will most likely be carrying bags. These few extra steps will get your heart rate going (and perhaps work up a quick sweat depending how much you are carrying)
