Stay in Shape the Sneaky Way!
Do you keep looking at the mirror and wish you could get rid of that "gut", tone those arms and legs, but just do not have the time to dedicate yourself fully? Don't' worry. I just went on the net and found some really great workout routines, you can do with that busy schedule of yours. Here are some suggestions:
1) When walking the dog:
Chase your pup fives times every doggy outing, and you'll burn 98 calories per 20-minute stroll.
2)Watching TV with the kids? Get a bounce ball and do this:
30 minutes on the stability ball can burn more than 100 calories.
3)Coffee break in the kitchen? Make it productive by:
Try resistance push ups against the side of a table. Place your hands on the sides of the table, contract your abs and lower yourself with your arms. Push back up. Do three sets of 15." Or do three sets of 15 squats.Five minutes of resistance push ups or squats burn 48 calories—right in your kitchen.
4)Like listening to upbeat music?:
Thirty minutes of treadmill rocking burns 170 calories. Researches have studied, when upbeat music is on during your workout, more calories are burned effortlessly.
5)Waiting at the doctor's office? Well make your wait productive and do:
A 30-minute mix of power walking, stair climbing, and wall squats burns 238 calories.
6)On Facebook, twitter, myspace etc for a bit?:
Facebook while riding at a light effort for 30 minutes and burn 197 calories.
7)Need to clean the house?:
A 20-minute mop workout burns 83 calories.
8)Have to cook dinner?:
Mashing garlic, dicing veggies, and tossing salad is surprisingly strenuous.
30 minutes of culinary sweat burns 60 calories. Get chopping.
9)Make brushing your teeth fun and healthy:
Tilt your hips forward and backward while contracting the buttocks muscles.
Rumba for three minutes when you brush twice a day, and you'll burn through 140 calories a week—or 10 calories every dancing brush.
10) TV & cardio:
Do standard crunch sit-ups and forearm planks. Place your elbows directly under your shoulder, forearms and palms on the floor. Lift your body in a straight line, hold for five seconds, relax and repeat.
Exercising through three TV breaks takes about 10 minutes, burning 70 calories.
I can't wait to see your results! Time to start the day and get motivated effortlessly. Get fit the sneaky way. Let's Go!!!
