When you make the decision to start living a healthier lifestyle you have got to change your mindset! Every activity throughout the day presents an opportunity to be more active and to get some exercise in.
For example:
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator!
- Park in the back of the parking lot instead of spending 5 minutes weaving up and down the aisles looking for the closest spot.
- Use your lunch break wisely. It only takes 15-20 minutes to eat your lunch. Use the other 40 and go for a walk.
Life can get busy sometimes and you don’t always have an extra 1-1.5hours to goto the gym. Using these simple tips and transitioning your mindset to not be lazy can keep you on track to achieving your weight loss goals.
Me Today On My Lunch Break:
I could have easily jumped in my truck and drove a mile down the road to grab lunch! My job today was in downtown Atlanta. There are many options for lunch within decent walking distance.
As you can see I was able to get a nice 1.2 mile walk in with my lunch! So my advice to anyone looking to begin your own weight loss/fitness journey is to start simple! Simply making a few decisions to be more active throughout your day can go a long way.
