Burn calories without exercising?!

I’m going to try to post more helpful fitness advice in addition to my weekly updates on me and how I'm doing! So you have most likely seen those commercials for pills that claim to burn away your fat without any exercise or changes to your current lifestyle. While this is a grand idea, there’s NO SUCH THING as a magic pill that makes you skinny... Even "fat burners. Are supposed to be used in conjunction with an exercise and nutrition program such as my ProFit-busy professional health plan. (Shameless plug to contact me for details!) EVERYTHING you can burns calories, even sitting. Although you burn calories just sitting, it’s not nearly as many as say working out. Not that you’re aware of your body CONSTANTLY burning calories, I thought I would give you all some tips to increase your NEAT (non exercise activity thermogenesis).

• STAND (this also relieves stress on your back)
• ​Go for a walk with your family (or alone)
• Take the stars instead of the elevator or escalator
• Park far away from the door of the store you’re going to in the parking lot.
• Take frequent "breaks" and walk to the coffee pot at work (even if you don’t get coffee)
• Use the restroom at the far end of the office..​
• Lift weights or pace during phone calls.
• Pick a printer far away from your desk to print your documents .
• Consider getting a standing desk
