– A good diet should include exercise or move at least 30 minutes a day every day to lose weight.
- It doesn’t have to be in a 30 minute block, incorporating small bits throughout the day help too (5 minutes here, 10 minutes there).
- Add movement to everyday tasks to increase your activity level and burn calories without realizing it and lose weight.
- Do some crunches in the morning before you even crawl out of bed and lose weight as part of your diet.
- Walk to the store when you only need a few items.
- Jog while taking the dog out or while taking the kids to the bus stop and lose weight.
- Dance while you sweep the floor and lose weight.
- Walk in place, on the treadmill, or do some yoga while watching a favorite television show (how long is that showing again, 30 minutes maybe?) and lose weight.
- Stretches in the shower and lose weight.
- Fidget! If you can do nothing else, fidget and be a busy body ~ it burns lots of calories and can have you in a constant state of motion at work, in the car, and waiting in line. Bounce those legs, shake those feet, and twiddle those thumbs to lose weight.
