Simple No Excuse Ways to Add Fitness into Your Daily Routine

Is your day too hectic to go to the gym? Or maybe you don’t exercise at all? Whichever the case may be, there are simple ways to add fitness into your daily routine without feeling like you’re devoting a ton of time. This article will showcase several different ways that you can add fitness and exercise into your routine to help you burn off some extra calories.

1. Have more sex (a great daily routine)

BOOM CHIKA WOW WOW! Hey now! I wanted to start off this feature with one of the easiest ways to burn calories without even thinking about it. Have more sex. Plain and simple. It doesn’t take much thought or preparation, just do it. Be spontaneous with your spouse or partner and get it on. Both of you will find you’re less stressed, having fun, and by the end of it be extremely exhausted. But keep this little secret between us. Don’t go telling your partner, “Matt Weik said we should have sex so we can add exercise into our daily routine.” That’s a sure way to kill the mood.

2. Use your lunch break wisely

How many of you sit at your desk and eat your lunch every day? I’m guilty of that. So, what’s the fix? Walk. If the weather is nice outside, take a pair of walking or running shoes with you to the office and throw them on over your lunch break and head outside. Make it a daily routine. The fresh air will be good for you and a great way to destress a little in the middle of your workday. Even if your walk is only 15-30 minutes, your mind and body will thank you when you do finally sit back down to keep working. Now you can eat your lunch while continuing to get work done (as long as your boss approves of you doing so and you aren’t sitting where clients/customers will see your paper bag lunch).

3. Walk the dog as part of your daily routine

This seems like a no-brainer, but people don’t think about it—which is actually perfect. The whole idea with walking your dog is to give your pup some exercise as well as yourself. A nice 30-minute walk is great for your furry little pooch and your pooch around your midsection.

4. Coffee break bench press

Well, not exactly a bench press, but you’ll get the point. The next time you’re waiting for your cup of coffee to brew or each time you head back out to grab another cup from the coffee pot, do some counter push-ups. Make sure the counter is sturdy enough that it won’t break while you’re performing your push-ups and get to it. Repping out a set or two of 10-15 is a great way to get a little pump going before your morning meeting as well as burn off a few extra calories.

5. Use technology to your advantage

Majority of adults these days have a smartphone or fitness watch (wearable device like an iWatch or FitBit) where you can download apps or check your progress throughout the day on your wrist. If you have wearable technology, you can check how many steps you are taking each day, and some wearable technology will even tell you how many calories you burned throughout your daily routine. If you only have a smartphone, do a search for a fitness app. Free or paid version will work. Use it to document your exercise for the day such as a walk at lunch. It can also double as a pedometer to count how many steps you took around the office. Use it as a guide to let you know if you need to be moving more throughout the day.
