How to watch TV to lose weight

If your busy work schedule has kept you away from your favourite movies or TV shows, well here’s a smart way to get entertained and fit at the same time. Keep a small television set in your gym room and hop on to the treadmill or exercise bike every time your favourite show comes on. Or record your favourite shows and watch them later when you work out. Either way, you will be so absorbed that you won’t realise you are in the midst of a sweaty workout. Before you know it, you will be through an hour of exercise. This works great especially if you find that keeping separate time aside just for exercising and for entertainment is tough. Plus you won’t be munching away on your bag of chips either!

 

How to get fit at home

IMG_1672Most of us wake up in the mornings to a day crammed with a never ending list of things to do. We love the idea of staying fit, but never seem to find the time for it. Here’s the good news. Take a good look around your home. There are many physical activities that you can do, to burn calories and keep your place clean at the same time. Did you know that washing windows for 30 minutes burns 102 calories, or that dusting and sweeping alone for 30 minutes can burn 200 calories? Give your car a wash and burn 102 calories or make your garden beautiful and burn 136 calories every 30 minutes. There’s no limit to the work you can do. Put on some groovy music and you wont even realise you’re working out!
