We spend most of the day sitting on our backsides… Plus we\u2019re short on time to workout. I really notice this when I\u2019m traveling and attend business meetings.<\/p>\n

This combination is simply bad news for your waistline.<\/p>\n

I like to think any chance you get to workout is better than nothing. Here\u2019s 15 unexpected ways to sneak in a workout during your day:<\/p>\n

At the Office<\/strong><\/h1>\n

1. Elevator is Out of Action<\/h2>\n

Consider the elevator at the office is permanently out so you have to walk the stairs everyday. You can even put an \u201cOut of Order\u201d sign on it and get everyone taking the stairs.<\/p>\n

2. Frequent Bathroom Breaks<\/h2>\n

Walk to the bathroom furthest away \u2013 and drink tons of water so you need to go every hour. I\u2019m sure your boss won\u2019t mind\u2026<\/p>\n

3. One minute Bodyweight Moves<\/h2>\n

When you get back from the bathroom every hour, do 30s squats and 30s push ups before sitting down again. Who cares if your colleagues think you\u2019ve lost your mind?!<\/p>\n

4. Walk and Talk<\/h2>\n

Instead of taking conference calls and lazing back, get up off your butt. Make walking meetings (like the West Wing) and get outside for fresh air.<\/p>\n

\"workout<\/p>\n

On The Go<\/strong><\/h1>\n

5. Walk it Off<\/h2>\n

Take the long way and walk or bike home. Just don\u2019t go via the pub. Or the bakery. #PartyPooperAlert<\/p>\n

6. Shopping Fun<\/h2>\n

Go grocery shopping and carry a basket filled to the brim through every aisle. Do a few laps around the perimeter before you check out. To add more fun, carry a small child in your other arm.<\/p>\n

7. Live the High Life<\/h2>\n

Move into the fifth floor (or higher) of an apartment building with no elevator. Yeah, that\u2019s a lot of stairs you have to climb everyday.<\/p>\n

Home Improvements<\/strong><\/h1>\n

8. Moving house<\/h2>\n

Save dollars on a removalist and get your strongman on\u2026 Offer to help your friends move and you\u2019ll be the coolest pal ever!<\/p>\n

9. Home renovations<\/h2>\n

Who needs a handy man when you can do it yourself?<\/p>\n

10. Cleaning Machine<\/h2>\n

Clean the house from top to bottom. Vacuum, sweep and mop the floors. Want to make it even more fun? Time yourself. Then come over to my house and try to beat your previous time. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

11. Laundry<\/h2>\n

Carrying a ton of wet laundry up and down the stairs\u2026 and then hanging it on a clothes line is not so easy\u2026<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0Old Fashioned Lawn Mowing<\/h2>\n

Remember the original lawn mower? Mowing the lawn was one of my chores as a kid. Fortunately we didn\u2019t have too much grass\u2026 It takes solid hard yakka to maneuver the push lawn mower \u2013 a great sneaky workout!<\/p>\n

Fun Times<\/strong><\/h1>\n

13. Children playtime<\/h2>\n

Need I say more?<\/p>\n

14. Jack it Out<\/h2>\n

Instead of laying passed out on the couch and being tempted to eat junk, do jumping jacks between the commercials of your favorite TV program. Two minute intervals of intense burst cardio will do the trick.<\/p>\n

15. Go Clubbing<\/h2>\n

Get out on the dance floor. Dancing for hours with your friends is a super fun way to burn a ton of calories. Obviously, vodka fueled dancing is different\u2026 but still fun \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Takeaway<\/h3>\n

Daily movement is an opportunity, and not something we should take for granted. While you may not have time for an official workout, these sneaky tricks will help to get you moving during the day.<\/p>\n
