Its not only your diet and exercise schedule that helps you to lose weight. While your little moves does burn a lot of calories, making other small changes to your lifestyle adds up to a big difference.- Avoiding little conveniences. From escalators to driving around to find the best parking spot, we go about our day missing several chances to squeeze in a bit of exercise. Stop looking for the easiest way to do things. The hard way is not really that hard and does not take a lot of extra time.
- Pacing when you are on the phone. If you usually spend your phone time just lying or sitting around, its time to make some changes. Get up and moving or, if you still want to lie around, do a few Pilates exercises while you talk on the phone.
- Not emailing at work. Assuming your companys culture allows it, you will burn a few more calories if you walk over to a co-workers desk instead of emailing them a question. Done several times a day, the calories will start to add up.
- Fidget. Do not just sit still. Keep moving at all times. Shake your foot if you keep your legs crossed, do knitting while you working. Anything that gets your body moving.
- Dress casually. If you are dressed in professional clothes, you may be less likely to try exercises for fear of getting sweaty. Wearing your sneakers and something comfortable means you will get out and get moving.
- Take the longest route. Whenever you have to go somewhere, go out of your way. Those few extra steps will help you burn more calories.
