4 Unbelievable Ways To Stay In Shape
Don't like heading to the gym or doing typical exercise? Forget about it! Stay in shape with these four tips!
Get to Cleaning. Studies have shown that house cleaning can burn nearly the same number of calories as a light gym workout. By spending less than an hour a day on household chores, you can burn up to 150 calories. These include making your bed, sweeping/vacuuming and hand washing dishes. Best of all, your home will be spotless!
Nifty Tip: engage your abs (stomach and side muscles) abs when doing household work to increase calorie burn up to 25%.
Go for a Walk. If you hop in the car to drive less than half a mile and it is not dangerously cold outside, you should feel guilty. Walk to visit friends, go to your local hang out, or to the grocery store. You may burn over 100 calories if you do.
Dance. Who doesn't love dancing? Whether you are alone in front of a mirror or at a dance club, embrace your inner Beyonce, Michael Jackson or Dancing With the Stars contestant and burn over 200 each hour you are at it.
Go Shopping. You would be surprised how time flies when you are shopping. Be it grocery shopping or window shopping for the latest fashion trends, you can easily spend an hour as your peruse between aisles and shelves. And you will have burned nearly 100 calories doing it.
Nifty Tip: If you can, divide your grocery shopping in to multiple trips per week. Skip the cart and go for the basket. You'll burn up to 90 calories each trip and you may avoid purchasing any junk food you crave.
