Summer is fast approaching and before you know it the long bank holiday weekends packed full of cocktails with girls, Euro football beers with the crew and less clothing will be thrust upon us! So now is the time to GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER. Whether you want to drop a few pounds, tone up, or feel fitter for the running event you might have booked we’ve got you covered!
Ways to Calorie Burn
The easiest way to increase your calorie burn is to increase your NEAT. This is non-exercise activity thermogenesis, sounds confusing right? Well, it’s not! Put simply it’s the calories you burn when you’re not doing exercising, little things each day which can add up and all contribute to calorie burn. Still a little unclear? Check out ‘Can I increase my metabolism’ to improve calorie burn.
Smaller things to increase NEAT?
- Hit 10,000 steps a day
- Take the stairs instead of an elevator
- Make a standing desk rather than sitting
- Get off the bus 1-2 stops earlier
