Stay Lazy and still burn your calories without walking 10,000 steps

 I hear people say this all the time, Wow! This lady is doing real well, I can't even walk 100 steps. Alright here we go let’s try and hide from shedamfitness for a while, let's see how we can burn a few of those calories without putting so much effort.

Let's now discuss the five ways I researched on how you can make this work.

1. Sleep more

You know how when your money is in a high-performing investment account you’re making money without doing anything because you’re just watching the interest work for you? Well, the same is true for sleep – it works just like interest. The more sleep you have, the more calories you burn. The message? Sleep more, burn more.

2. Watch comedy shows
As if you needed a reason to watch more comedy, here is another – do it for your waistline. Laughter cannot be over emphasized, it relaxes your nerves and it keeps you burning the excess from your cal. storage room. Thanks to Basket Mouth, Ay, EmmaOhMaGod, Kevin Hart etc. they just made this remedy easier to apply.

3. Drink coffee or tea
Please do not get me wrong, do not drink excess, and do not make coffee take the place of water. Although it’s true – your cup of coffee or tea may help your waistline. Sounds as good as the sleep more tip, right? Higher caffeine use was associated with weight loss through thermogenesis (one of the ways your body generates heat and energy from digesting food) while low use was associated with weight maintenance. Consult your doctor about the correct amount of caffeine for your health. DO NOT DRINK COFFEE AT NIGHT TIMES.

 4. Stand and move more

We burn more calories standing than we do sitting. Learn to use stair cases instead of elevators. Look for friends to walk down the street with, maybe to go get your lunch or whatsoever you know does not cover so much distance. Decide to stand during some meeting, do not always sit. The often we stand the better for our nerves.

5. Change ‘classes at work
Registered dietitian Bierley Wright, a contributor to Eating Well, says that when most of us went to school we had to change classes every half hour to hour. If you had to take a walk and say hi to your colleagues every hour, you could burn up to 100 calories in a work day and the long-term benefits to your health by not sitting still for hours on end is significant too.

Ultimately though the easiest way to burn more calories is by focusing on increasing our incidental activity throughout our day. Walk more, stand more, sleep more. Things we disregarded are those elements that can help aid not just our waistlines and our general health too. I know you can do it, let’s make it mandatory to think health.

This is the little I researched and with the aid of ICAS health team I came up with this. I would love to hear your views. Kindly drop your comments below and if you would like me to share an inspiration, idea or personal experience to help a life kindly send the write-up to chukwuuju@ymail.com.
