The good news is that the dog days have broken and winter is well on its way! The bad news is we all know what that means: With all the time spent indoors it can be easy to pack back on the pounds we lost during the warmer season. It doesn't help that we typically end up spending more time at work in order to get the cash we need to buy gifts for the holidays at the end of the year either. However, there are still some clever ways that you can burn calories without sacrificing your time. How you ask? Well why not work out at work? Here are some great ways to make the most of your multitasking at the office to stay healthy and fit during the holiday season!
Work Out Your Work Commute
If you live far away from the office, this can be a tough task to accomplish, but it is one of the most effective ways to keep the winter weight away during the holiday season. If you can't walk or ride a bike to work because of the distance, consider taking the bus or the subway. In addition to helping the environment and saving money on gas, you also give yourself the option of getting off a few stops early to walk or jog the rest of the way. If you must drive, give yourself a bit of extra time in the morning and park at the far end of the parking lot. Also, don't forget to take the stairs! If you work near the top of a 40-story office building, take the elevator and get off on the 35th floor to walk the rest of the difference. It doesn't take a huge chunk out of your day when you take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves everyday if you look for them. You'll be surprised the difference a little extra effort built up over time can make.
