  1. BUY A PEDOMETER, OR USE A SMARTPHONE’S PEDOMETER APP. This can tell you how much exercise you already have in your daily schedule. Doctors recommend that you take at least 10,000 steps in a day to be healthy. If you cannot take this many steps in a day, you will need to find ways to be more active in your daily life. If you do not ,you may be at risk for weight gain, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and the like.
  2. WALK FASTER. If you commute, walk the dog, or walk inside stores, do them faster. You will burn more calories, increase your heart rate and save time.
  3. COMMUTE BY WALKING OR BIKING INTEAD OF DRIVING. If this is an option, your commuting will not only take out the need to go to the gym, it can also release work-related stress and allow you to get more vitamin D from the sun. If this is not an option, try to commute in more than 1 way. Take the bus half of the way and walk the rest of the way to work.
  4. AVOID SITTING FOR LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES AT A TIME. People who sit in a desk for hours are at risk for chronic back pain. You burn 33 percent more calories when standing, and frequent walking around will help to stretch your muscles and improve your posture.
  5. EMBRACE TWITCHING. Although twitching movements are sometimes frowned upon ,tapping your fingers, stretching muscles, rolling your eyes, moving your neck, and wrists and frequent standing can help you to burn more calories and boost your metabolism. Move your legs or arms when you talk on the phone. Studies have shown a link between small muscle movements, metabolism and weight control.
