Get fit while getting Ready

Banish that classic excuse — “I don't have time to exercise!” — by sneaking mini workouts into your daily routine. Follow this and you could shave off an extra 100 calories from your day. Get a move on! In bed Upon awakening, immediately do 20 crunches on your mattress. Or try the dead cockroach — raise your head, arms and legs towards the sky then shake arms and legs vigorously for a minute. This helps strengthen the core as well as promotes healthy blood circulation. At the bathroom sink While brushing your teeth, do 10 leg squats. Keep feet a little more than hip distance apart, then bend down so that thighs are nearly parallel to the ground. Hold for a second before returning to standi ng position. This firms up the quadriceps or thighs. In the Shower Before getting yourself wet under the shower, take a body brush and dry brush the legs from the calves upwards towards the thighs and the heart. Doing this regularly aids in lymphatic drainage and also results in lessening the appearance of cellulite as well. Do this for about a minute per leg. At your dresser While blowdrying your hair, step side to side like you would when you hit the dancefloor. Do this until your locks are completely dry or until the end of a three-minute dance track. At the front door If you've always opted to flag a cab or catch the bus to get to the MRT station, slip into running shoes or snug flip-flops and take a walk instead. Walking is the easiest exercise you can do to manage your fitness. Also skip the lift and escalators and take the stairs. Your glutes will thank you eventually!
