A great way to increase the amount of calories you burn and keep your weight under control is to add calorie burning activities to your daily routine. Especially at this time of year, when you’re constantly on-the-go and have a million things to do!

Shopping: Park in the furthest spot in the lot before you set off for your holiday shopping! This can burn more that 100 calories to your day.

Take the Stairs: If your office or appointments are on the upper levels, hit the stairs and give up the elevator.

Milk and Egg Run: Don’t buy these at the big supermarkets, take a brisk power walk to the variety store that is close to your home.

Take a Stand: Standing burns more calories than sitting. Start by standing during all phone calls; stand on your bus/subway rides; stand while waiting for your flight; stand up for one of your favourite TV shows. Stand to comfort your baby -a great tip for new moms who are trying to lose those extra pounds.

Remember fitness and calorie burning is cumulative - every movement you do adds up to a healthier you!!

 
Have a happy & healthy Holiday!
