Sometimes life is too hectic and tiresome to even think about exercising! But even though you can’t possibly squeeze in time to work out you still want to tone up and feel good.
Don’t worry- nzgirl have a solution! Five easy habits you can slot into your busy day to help you get in shape without setting foot in a gym...
1: No gorgeous local beach to briskly walk along each morning? Make the most of the steps you do fit in on a daily basis around home and in the office, with Skechers Shape-ups (RRP $270 each). Skechers Shape-ups have a technically-rich design that simulates a walking on sand sensation. A super soft wedge on the sole of the shoe creates a natural instability encouraging extra muscle activity. Shape-ups reduce the stress on knee and ankle joints making walking more enjoyable, making them one of the easiest ways to burn calories, while toning and shaping your body.
2: Office ettiquette 101 states that there's nothing worse than being in a lift that stops every two floors for someone to get out when they so could have walked!When you are faced with stairs, do it for your co-workers and do it for your bottom and climb them! Walking up a few flights of stairs instead of taking the lift or elevator is an easy way to burn calories and tone your bum, thighs and calves!
3: Even if you've only got small break in your schedule for lunch, ditch the car and get your walk on! Use the fresh air to clear your head as you walk to the café. You’ll make up the time when you don’t have to hunt for a car park and those endorphins will work wonders for that problem you couldn’t quite solve!
4 Stop slouching! Swapping your desk chair for a swiss ball at your desk is a great way to tone your core and improve your posture. It's also a great way to project the image of 'I'm into getting in shape', making it easier to say no to the office shout muffins.
5. You're a slave to your blackberry right? No time to hit the gym or go for a run because your schedule's all booked up like a crazy thing? Newsflash, your health's worth prioritising, so that's why we like @MsHelene's idea to schedule time in your diary for exercise, treating it like an appointment you can't miss!
