These calories can be burnt almost anywhere at anytime, and build the basis for weight loss as we cannot always be in a gym.
Ways we can help ourselves reach our steps include:
Go for a walk first thing in the morning, clean the house, take your dog for a walk after work, take the stairs at work instead of the elevator, get involved in a team sport or work group sport day, mow the lawns or wash your car once a week, do the shopping.
It's that simple.
These everyday activities allow the body to burn calories at an increased rate as opposed to sitting or lying down.
