Sit Less....And Less....

Members Were Sparked

I read an article that simply standing rather than sitting can burn up to 300 more calories a day. So...when I am at the park with the kids, I don't sit on the bench anymore. At their soccer games, I walk the sidelines.

While doing something unproductive, do something productive!

If you are sitting around watching TV, get on the ground and STRETCH while you watch, so at least you are getting SOMETHING done while you're wasting time :D

Squeeze your behind...

When at work or if I am sitting for a long time, from time to time I squeeze and hold my behind for a few seconds at least 20 times a day

Sneaking in exercise

I sit at a desk all day long. So I decided to start doing little exercises whenever I can sneak them in. For example every time I got to the bathroom I do at least 10 squats or sometimes I'll sit at my desk and raise my hands in the air till it hurts (this is when I know no one is around). It may sound stupid, but after a few weeks I already see a difference.
