Taking The Extra Step

I was watching the show "The Talk" the other day. They have Dr. Travis Stork on there as a guest from The Doctors. Well he was talking about healthy living and such. One thing he said that hit me like WOW! He said.."Working out for 1 hour everyday of your life, that is only 5% of your life!" That is amazing. That makes me want to go to the gym and workout for hours. But then again, I guess if you double that and workout for 2 hours a day, that would only be 10% of your life. That is so hard to believe because alot of us cant even find any hour to workout a day! But..the question is..will 1 hour a day give you the results and health that you want/need? Who knows..

So with that being said, 5% of your life is working out, well..there is another 95% left..How to you try to burn more calories? Ill tell you..

1. Park farther away at the grocery store/mall etc.
2. Take the stairs and not the elevator/escalator
3. Get up and turn the channels on the TV instead of using a remote
4. Walk your animals
5. Do the dishes
6. Vacuum

There are so many things you can do to increase your movement each day. Doing just a couple of these things, can help you burn up to 400-500 calories A DAY!  Yep! So when you go out to the grocery store, park further away..save the closer spots for the lazy people :) It really will make a difference.

On a different note...

Monday night I watched the premiere of Extreme Makeover: Weight loss Edition Oh My Goodness! Talk about inspiring!! This woman was 369lbs!! She lost a total of 161 lbs in a year and looks absolutely amazing!!! I really like this show because they are doing it the right way. They arent taking people and having them lose 161 lbs in 6 months. That is soo unhealthy. If any of you have not seen this show, it is soooo incredibly worth watching! I love when they do shows like this because they show people what to do and how to lose weight the right way, and help motivate people!! Click Here to watch the first episode! So So Inspiring!
