These ways are for anyone and everyone. So if you sit in an office all day or work from home, you’re included in this and you’ll find it’s actually really easy to burn those calories off during the day. Let’s get in shape for summer!

Exercise

Exercising in the morning doesn’t just keep you awake, but the best part of exercising in the morning is that it helps to boost your metabolism. Studies have shown that people who exercise in the morning burn more calories than those who exercise at other times of the day. So, get out your trainers and set your alarm for an earlier start to your day for that added calorie burn. If you’re too busy in the morning, instead of catching the bus to work, try walking or cycling if it’s too far away. If the morning gym idea totally puts you off, take your dog out for a walk before work. It will make you feel so much better in the morning!

Eat breakfast

Whatever you do, don’t skip breakfast just because you don’t have time. Make the time! It’s true what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it’s said for good reason. Eating in the morning helps keep your body at its metabolism-boosting best. Eat a filling breakfast helps you keep full and gives you adequate energy to burn those calories throughout the day. These healthy breakfast ideas are great to start off your day!

Use the Stairs

Stop using the lift for a week and start using the stairs instead, you’ll notice a massive change. Taking the stairs is one of the easiest choices you can make to burn calories. It’s also the sort of workout that you can do just about anywhere. Fourteen minutes on a step stair machine will burn 100 calories, but the stairs in your house, apartment or office building will work just as well.

Cook a Meal

If you go to work every day and spend your lunch break in various cafes or in the meal deal section at Boots. Cut it out! You’ll be surprised at the change if you start taking in your own food. As the saying goes, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. Cooking your own meals the night before allows you to ensure that the healthiest, leanest ingredients are used. Sandwiches are not always the healthiest option. It’s also a lot cheaper taking your own food to work. 

Midmorning snack

Snacking isn’t all that bad for you. In fact, snacking is good for maintaining weight. However, it’s ensuring that your snacks are healthy and that fill you up to see you through. Choose healthy snacks if you’re feeling peckish or these foods and drinks for an extra boost for your metabolism to keep you burning calories all day long.
