Busy life but want to burn a few extra calories?

So many people are busy, busy, busy with their every day lives and sometimes don't have time to properly work out. Well I have a few small tips that will help you burn a few extra calories during everyday tasks. 

  1.  When at home or wherever you feel comfortable, walk on your tip toes. I always do this around the house and it helps tone my calf muscles
  2. While doing dishes or preparing a meal or whenever you are by a counter, stand on one leg and let the counter help keep you stable without having it hold your weight. 
  3. While brushing your teeth, bend your knees slightly until you are done.  
  4. When sitting, lift your toes off of the ground but keep your heel on the floor - repeat moving your toes on and off the floor. 
  5. Use a stress ball even if your aren't stressed. 
I do these things throughout the day. They are not much but every little bit counts.
