Get Off Your Butt


No one is willing to sacrifice their hour or TV they get a night to rewind from the busy day; or their hour playing Spider Solitaire, or reading. So here are some simple things you can do while you're watching TV, on the computer, or reading that will help your body, health, flexibility, and your multitasking skills!
  • Go up & down on your tip toes
  • Stretch
  • Any continuous movement for 1+ commercial every commercial set
    • Increase as your endurance increases
      • Jumping Jacks
      • Running in place
      • Jumping up & down
      • Jumping side-to-side like skiing
      • Run up & down the stairs
      • Squats
      • Squat Jumps
      • Push Ups 
Keep in mind:
When you're sitting calorie burning drops as low as burning only 1 calorie/minute.
Enzymes that help break down fat drop 90%
Walking burns 3-4x more calories than sitting
