The Smallest Amount of Exercise Helps

Here are some helpful tips to do the smallest amount of exercise when you have the least amount of time.

1. Take up Stairing - Whenever you have a choise,, climb the stairs instead of getting on an escalator, a moving walkway, or an elevator.You brun ten times the calories climbing the stairs that you do sitting still.

2. Keep your distance - Instead of cruising the lot to find the closest parking space, go for the vast empty spots on the far side.  Long-distance walking boosts your metabolism and burns calories.

3. Pull up short - When you're taking a cab, allow some extra time and have the driver drop you off a few blocks from your destination.  If you are taking a bus, get off a stop or two before you need to.

4. Make every minute count - When you are standing in line, tighten and relax your gluteal muscles (that is, your rear).  When you are on the phone and put on hold, do a few abdominal breathing exercises.

5. Waste some moves - Instead of grabbing snacks during commercials, get up, stretch and move around.

When I am put on hold when I am on the phone, I get up and move the chair and do squats.  You only need a small space to do them in and they burn calories. 

Whatever works right??
