Park your Car far away
If you got a car or a bike, it’s tempting to park as close as you can to the entrance of your destination. Instead, you can squeeze some exercise into your day just by parking at the end of every lot and walking the rest of the way, whether you are going to work, shopping at the mall, or seeing your doctor.
Get off the bus early
This is another way to encourage working out by walking to your destination. Walking is one of the best exercises you can do. It requires no special equipment other than a pair of comfortable sneakers, and it can be done anywhere.
Choose the stairs
Whenever you have the option of taking the stairs instead of an elevator, go for it. Climbing a few flights of stairs several times a day is a great way of working out for free. If you run up the stairs or take them two at a time, you can give your glutes and thigh muscles a toning boost.
Turn the damn TV on
If you have a TV, you can work out from your living room. Most cable packages come with free exercise programs either at set times or on-demand, and you also can find free work outs on YouTube and other Internet sites.
Work out online
If you are not sure where to start without a personal trainer to guide you, check them out online. The step-by-step instructions for exercises for every body part — abs, hips, shoulders, arms, and more — will having you toning at home in no time.
Exercise in the park
Walk, jog, or bike through your neighborhood park and up your calorie burn through body-weight exercises, such as walking lunges and tricep dips.
Go dancing
Dancing is great exercise, whether you are grooving around your living room or out at a club with friends. Depending on your weight and how strenuous the moves are, you can burn from 60 to 140 calories in just 15 minutes. If you are out on the town, remember to skip calorie-laden cocktails to avoid spoiling your weight-loss efforts.
Do chores around the house
Give the housemaid a rest! Scrub the floors. Rake leaves. Garden. Clean out the attic and the garage. Mow the lawn. Wash the windows. All these chores make great calorie-burning work outs. As an added benefit, your house will look toned too.
