Weight Loss Tip #80 – Perform small bouts of exercise throughout the day

Sleeping for very long hours, having no time for exercise and eating cupcakes at the office or ordering happy hour mocktails are not not-heard-of. This practice will obviously show on your waistline. But worry not as there is a secret to way transform your body without compromising much on your habits.

Whenever possible do small bouts of exercise like jumping jacks and crunches during television commercials instead of mindlessly chomping in front of the television. Also perform body-weight squats whenever you are standing, be it the living room, the bedroom, and even the kitchen. When you squat, you will feel a stretch throughout your calves, glutes and thighs that will help you tone them. Running up and down the stairs is also a fantastic way to shed those kilos.

You can also put on some peppy music and dance while you do physically taxing tasks like washing dishes and clothes. This activity will not only be fun, but it will also burn the extra calories. The secret is to perform the household chores vigorously, to burn more calories. Practice this for a while to witness a more toned and fitter version of yourself.
