| Move More Burning calories isn’t only done during exercising. Seize every opportunity to move your body more and you’ll also increase your daily caloric burn! Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park your car at the end of the lot, walk your dog longer — and you will instantly see a difference.  Enjoying a long walk with my favorite Man. Beautiful Autumn Day. |

| Pump Iron Burning fat efficiently boils down to one thing — building more muscle! Muscles demand more energy from your body than fat does — so the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Try adding 15 minutes of strength training to your fitness plan two to three times a week. |
|
| Squeeze in Mini Workouts If a jam-packed schedule leaves you no time for exercise, try breaking down your workouts into 10-minute mini sessions! Whenever you have a few spare minutes, take a brisk walk, do a set of push ups or do a quick series of yoga. This can add up to a lot of exercise! |
|
| Practice Portion Control A few extra bites here and there may not seem like a big deal, but think again! All those extra calories add up fast. It’s time to revisit your measuring cups or buy a small food scale. And remember never to eat directly from a container, and always put away leftovers BEFORE you start eating. |

Another early morning at the GYM and yes it does make me feel good.
I’ve always been a fan of practicing the little things to see big results. As you mentioned above, taking the stairs or parking farther away (bonus…leave the car at home and ride or bike when you can) are all great ways to incorporate some sneaky fitness. : )
Thanks Britt. Good for you! I do that as well, use stairs and park farther away from the entrance of the store, etc. It all helps so much.
Happy Friday.
What a beautiful place to go walking!
Thank you so much. It is one of my favorite places to walk.
love the concept of mini 10 minute workouts. that will be a great way for me to add in some strength training on tutoring days when i currently can’t get to the gym. very similar to my strategy to get my walking in….i built up a bit gradually, but was having so much fun that i moved up to an hour a day many days, and 30 minutes a day other days. My current task is to figure out how to up my exercise time per day while maintaining my increased tutoring load. It will be a good stress reducer when I figure out my strategy….and actually stick to it!
YOU are doing amazing Kate! You are so busy with your tutoring and life in general, any exercise you can get in there will benefit you for sure. all the best with it all. Even if you can only get 3 days a week in with some kind of exercise. Good for you!!
