TAF Challenge #2 - Back of the Lot

With the holidays just around the corner, we've got to kick training up a notch. Not by going to the gym more, or straining ourselves, but just through some small steps.

Today's easy-to-incorporate-exercise is simply parking in the back of the lot.

That's right, instead of parking in the spot closest to wherever you're heading, I challenge you to do the exact opposite - park as far away as possible.

If you don't have a car, no worries - you probably do enough walking as it is. If not, you can try getting off a bus stop further from your usual stop, or pump your arms when walking to burn extra calories!

Remember, the farther away you go, the more calories you'll burn. So, have at it!

And if you try this TAF challenge, be sure to tag it and share for everyone else to see!

TAF Challenge #1 - Sitting Jitters

***A segment committed to finding easy ways to add more exercise into everyday life***

It has been suggested in studies that jittering can burn hundreds of extra calories during the day.

It makes sense, right?

        Moving = Burning Energy (A calorie is just a measurement of energy)

            Now, what exactly do I mean by jittering? Tapping your feet on the floor or your nails on the desk, pacing back and forth when standing, shaking your legs or knees, or simply just moving your body around rather than sitting still.

So go ahead, tap your foot to the beat of the song, or wiggle around while standing in line. Jitter those extra calories away!

And let us know if you take the TAF Challenge!
