Can’t get to the gym everyday? No worries! Did you know there are simply ways to burn extra calories while you’re at the office? If you’re tight on time and can’t “workout” everyday, check out these simple tips that can help you lose weight from your job.

  1. Communicate with co-workers in person instead of by email: There’s no doubt that typing does little for you in the weight loss department, however, walking does. Instead of sending an email to that co-worker a few cubicles down from you, walk over and have a conversation instead. You can burn up to 200 extra calories and create a more personal relationship with the people you work with.
  2. Stand Up. Spending just 10 minutes an hour standing up instead of sitting can burn off an extra 100 calories at the office.
  3. Opt for a different parking space. If you have the time, try parking as far from your job entrance as possible so you can take advantage of the extra burn walking to and from your car.
