If you feel that your sedentary work style is adding calories to your body, discover some ways in which you can burn calories while doing your work at your desk. These are nothing but simple changes in the way you do things at office.
The first and the most simple thing you can do at your desk is a leg exercise. Put your feet firmly on the ground and sit straight. Now lift your legs parallel to the ground and hold them there for 7-10 seconds. Don’t stop with doing it once. Repeat it ten times and you will burn many calories without your knowledge.
Another way of burning calories, which we have all forgotten is walking! Even at work, we must seek opportunities to walk whenever possible. The reduced amount of walking in our lives is because of advancements in technology, that require us to move less. You can always change this if you want to. Simply walk to your colleague’s desk if you want to say something to him or her. Avoid using emails to communicate.
Did you know that you can burn as many as 100 calories by just smiling for 20 minutes in a day? Yes, its true, smiling for 20 minutes in instalments can help you get rid of calories while keeping you and others in a pleasant mood.
Instead of sipping your tea or coffee at your desk, use this time to walk around a little. Get some fresh air for as long as you enjoy your refreshment. Once you are done, you can get back to work. This will give your body some movement and avoid storage of fat.
If you think you cant spare time during working hours, try to do something on the way to work. Park your vehicle at a distance from your office and take brisk walk to cover that distance. This way will ensure some exercise to your body at least twice a day. These tricks will help you stay fit and sedentary life will not deteriorate your health any more!
