Every time you take the stairs instead of the elevator or park farther away from the door, you are burning extra calories.
So work up a sweat while doing chores. Turn on the radio and dance while cleaning. Take a walk after dinner instead of watching TV.
At work, make sure to move periodically, especially if you have a desk job. Walk around while on the phone, or better yet, walk to talk a colleague's office instead of calling.
Whatever you do, just move!
