Learn tips and tricks on increasing energy expenditure and activity levels to help change body composition.Increasing activity levels is the first major step to a positive change on body fat composition but it doesn't mean we need to be down the Gym every day. Its possible to make subtle changes within our present lifestyle to help us lose all the weight we want.
Occupation Your job may be the key to weight loss potential. If you have a physical job like in the construction industry then your off to a good start but now you need to make the job more active. You could try to work harder, perform more of the physical tasks by yourself especially if you're a supervisor and usually hand it over to others. If you have one hour for lunch spend half hour being active then relax for the last half. If you work in an office at a desk all day and don't find the time to get up and about then try to form a habit of walking to work or parking the car further away so you can walk a little each day. Again you can try to be active for part of your lunch time too. You could also exercise your legs under the desk by constantly contracting the calf muscles, it may not sound much but a few hours of this can add up! If your a driver delivering packages you could try parking 50 metres away from each destination, walking there and back for 10 deliveries equates to 1000 metres in one day! Whatever job you do think about how you can increase activity level and use more energy, remember the human body was designed to move so move it! If however its impossible to increase activity levels in your job then look at other areas:
Housework and Chores: Although lots of us hate housework it still needs to be done so why not use the opportunity to increase energy expenditure. Make the vacuuming harder by removing furniture and cleaning all the way at the back, remember its not only the house that needs vacuuming the car may also need doing, decide that now is the time to put up the extra shelving in the garage or spare rooms. The idea is at every housework or chore time try to do a little bit more.
Other areas:
The idea is to look at your own lifestyle to determine where you could possibly make improvements so use your imagination. For more ideas look at our page on energy expenditure and look at the amount of calories you use during every day activities!
