Geri Halliwell was photographed while having an impromptu workout session backstage before a recent performance. Does this mean that Geri is obsessed with working out? Not at all!! In fact, this FitCeleb has the right idea. Squeezing in a little extra exercise into your day can really increase your overall caloric burn. After all, besides celebrities, who has time to hit the gym for two hours a day! So here are a few easy ways to fit in a little extra exercise.
1. Exercise at the office:
Fidgeting in your chair is one way to burn a few extra calories while doing your work. Parking at the end of the lot and taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a standard suggestion. But how about doing a set of squats while washing your hands during a bathroom break? Or rear leg lifts while you’re waiting for that fax to go through? Stand or walk while on the phone. Take a walk during your lunch hour. - The Diet Channel
2. Exercise at home:
You can exercise while you cook to avoid engaging in an unwanted taste feasting. Do jumping jacks while the water is coming to a boil. Do some push-ups in-between stirring the food. Do rear leg lifts while washing the vegetables. Housework is a good source of exercise. Pushing a vacuum, washing windows, sweeping the floor, and mowing the lawn are practical ways to fit in exercise during your day. Have fun with it—you’ll burn more calories. Instead of just pushing that vacuum or broom, try dancing with it to your favorite songs. Run with your lawn mower to really work your lungs. - The Diet Channel
3. Exercise running errands:
Errand running does not have to put a damper on your cardio time. Do isometric exercises while standing in line or sitting in the car. Just tighten whatever body part you want to work and hold it for a few seconds (or longer, if you can manage it). Isometric movements can effectively tone your abdominals, rear end, thighs, triceps, chest—all the usual trouble spots. Plus, you can do them anywhere while still being discreet. - The Diet Channel
One thing that I’ve learned about celebrities is that many of them try to have some fun with their exercise choices, because in the end, it should always be about living an active lifestyle. So remember, if you can’t make it to the gym - no worries - just squeeze in a little more activity into your normal day. After all, every lit bit counts!
