Our biggest challenge seems to be burning calories. Here is my helpful tip of the week, this week - Burning Calories:

Sedentary people burn about one-third less calories per day. By simply taking every opportunity to move can make quite a dramatic difference to the amount of calories you burn in one day. Small movements will add up over time to lots of calories.

The trick is to keep moving throughout your day. Write the word move on post-it notes and put them in places you'll notice them when you're sitting still. Then, take every opportunity to move here's some ideas for burning extra calories:

Tap your feet
Swing your legs
Stand up and stretch
Move your head from side to side
Change position
Wriggle and fidget
Pace up and down
Use the restroom upstairs
Park in the furthest corner of the parking lot
Stand up when you're on the phone and step from side to side
Clench and release your muscles

Not working out....or are you? Here is my helpful tip of the week, this week - Metabolism:

When working out isn't in the cards follow these tips to assist. Adding some extra things into the day that you hardly realize can add up. For example, make your bed in the morning, park your car a little further away than normal, take the stairs occasionally, get up from your desk frequently if possible. Just by simply being more active during the day, which is called incidental activity, you will get an increase in your metabolism.
