Exercise away from the gym
Health clubs and gyms are great places to get fit, tone up and even socialise.
Yet there is more than one way to skin a cat.
If you don't want to go to the gym, just find another activity that will
keep you in shape and burn calories...
In order to stay in shape we need to burn calories - and lots of them. Below
we have listed some everyday - and not so everyday activities - that can
be used as a great form of exercise as they all burn lots of calories*
* Calories given per hour for a 130 lb female.
- Car repair 177 cal
- Cleaning 207 cal
- Dancing 354 cal
- DIY 207 cal
- Gardening 295 cal
- Moving boxes upstairs 531 cal
- Playing with children 250 cal
- Running 450 cal
- Walking 210 cal
Getting in shape is usually easier than people think. Aim to 'exercise'
(using the activities or other similar) 3 - 5 times per week.
At first this may feel like hard work. But as you become fitter and as exercise
starts to become apart of your 'typical day' it will feel easier and more
enjoyable - if cleaning or DIY can become such a thing!!
