10 Simple ways to burn extra calories

I was reading an online fitness describe 10 simple things we can do daily that would help us burn extra calories. I liked them and thought they where very user friendly for the busy person. They are:

1. Ten minute wake up tune up. He suggest doing ten minutes of continuous movement when we rise. This could be crunches, stretches, modified push ups etc.
2. Take timed walks for lunch. Next walk try to beat your times.
3. Use the steps instead of elevator. (heard this one before)
4. Seated (at your desk) ab crunches. Hold your stomach in and breath normal in 30 minute intervals.
5. Invest in a pedometer in order to work yourself up to 10,000 steps a day.
6. Take five minute exercise breaks while watching TV.
7. Focus on one exercise movement each day of the week for seven minutes.
8. Take the longest route to your destination each time you walk.
9. Double up when climbing steps.
10. Find a partner to complete the above.


Note: Do you notice how when you gain a few pounds, people seemed to go out of their way to comment about it, as if, you haven't notice it yourself. I never understood their need to make commentary. Do they think you have no feelings? or, Do they think putting you on the spot is helpful? Do they think you are unaware? Do they forget how it felt when someone remarked this way to them? I am not talking about a morbidly obese amount of weight that poses a health risk (even then use some discretion, kindness and sensitivity). I am referring to a somewhat normal weight gain we experience doing maybe middle age or when we enter a new phase in life and have to adjust to a new metabolic rate. People, I guarantee it that 99% of people who picked up a few pounds know it and are working hard to correct it as well.

My personal opinion is that these weight pointer outers are people either trying to project their own weight insecurities or they want to draw attention to how well they are doing on their diets. Peace.
