Workout Wednesday

Regretting how much you drank on St. Patty's Day?? Here are a few quick tips to burn off the booze!



  • Drinking 8, 16oz glasses of ice water a day and boost your metabolism to burns an extra 100 calories a day, without doing a THING (we love that!)
  • Find a hill near work, and walk it for 13 minutes on your lunch break! (100 calories will be lost.)
  • Don't slouch! Sitting up straight all day, using your core, helps to burn calories, and also makes you look thinner! 
  • No matter what you are doing today, if you aren't afraid of looking stupid, raise your arms above your head, when your arms are above your heart, you burn more calories! Try squatting over the toilet, with your arms raised! Mini-workout!!
  • You burn more calories standing up than sitting down! So whenever you have the opportunity to stand, DO IT!
  • Trade your office chair for a firm exercise ball, it will not only improve your balance and posture, but also give you a great core!
  • Whenever you walk, just walk faster (simple right?!)
