Losing weight is not easy at all, it requires a lot of hard work and patience. It goes without saying that sustainable weight loss is a combination of a healthy diet and regular exercise. But did you know that there are many little tricks that, when you follow them with hard work, can do wonders to lose weight?
Here is a list of six small steps you can take to speed up your weight loss program.
Take the stairs instead of the lifts
Grabbing a lift when you're not feeling well or carrying a pack of groceries is fine, but don't make it a habit. Make climbing stairs your habit sooner. Believe us, once you do it for a month you will love it. Climbing the stairs for just five minutes burns approximately 144 calories. Isn't that a good incentive?
Stand still now and then
Our eyes are glued to our laptops and mops for more than nine hours a day. Sitting, as we know, not only increases our chances of getting sick, but also increases our weight. So, get up and go for a walk when you get the chance. If you have a desk job, you have to wait about 15 minutes after every hour. Standing burns 36 more calories per hour compared to sitting.
Clean your house more often
By scrubbing your floor, your floor will not only shine brightly, but also help you burn extra calories. A win-win situation!
Chew sugar-free chewing gum
Accept it or not, we all love chewing gum. And the good news is that a recent study says that jaw muscle movement alone burns about 11 calories per hour.
Wash your car alone
Taking your car to the automatic car wash is easy but costs too much. Try to wash your car yourself, which not only saves you money, but also reduces your waistline. By washing your car, you can burn around 280 calories per hour.
Play with your children
We know that most of us are guilty of saying no to our children every time they ask us to play with them. But did you know that playing physical games (and not board games) with your children can help you burn calories between 80-137 per hour, depending on how intense your game is. So never ask them to sit and relax, join them and be hyper (if you understand what we mean)!
