1. Start Your Day with a Workout
Start your day strong and get in your best shape by getting your fit on. If you want to boost your metabolism, start your day with a 30 min to one hour workout session. To make the most out of every fitness moment add intense bursts of high heart rate surges through sprints, jump squats or whatever leaves you challenged. By bumping it to the next level you will increase your calorie burn both during and even after your fitness session.
2. Park Farther Away at All Destinations
Instead of driving around looking for the closest parking spot, use the possible calorie burning time and park further away. The further you park away, the more short segments of activity you will get. Every little bit adds up to make a big difference.

9. Drink More Water
This one is on every diet and weight loss list for good reason. Studies have shown that drinking 17 ounces of cold water within 10 minutes will boost your metabolism for about 30 minutes. This jump equals about 17,000 calories a year burned for doing nothing. That doesn't take into account the fact water will fill you up and save you from snacking which saves calories too!
10. Fidget
Studies have shown people who have a hard time sitting still during the day burn about 350 more calories a day than people who sit still. Even if it's as simple as crossing and uncrossing your legs more frequently or stretching, you'll be burning more calories.
So if you are ready to take the steps to increasing your activity, move more and sit less, you can lose weight and get in your best shape. Every fitness moment adds up to make a big difference so are you ready to make a change in your life today?
