The Anti-Gym Workout: Easy Ways to Burn Extra Calories Throughout the Day!
不用去健身房的捷径：简便方法就能全日燃烧过量卡路里


Is staying fit on your list of important New Year's resolutions? Afraid to commit to working out because you're always at work?


The best way to stay committed is to gradually build up a tolerance. You may not even realize the amount of exercise opportunities that are presented to you daily that you lazily overlook. Instead of thinking that the gym is the only way to whip weight-loss, start taking a look at the easy exercises you could do, without even thinking about it. Here are a few tips on how to start working in a work out into your everyday life, without ever going to the gym:


Are You an Emotional Eater?

Take the stairs

Every day most of us are faced with some form of stairs vs. escalator/elevator challenge. Instead of taking the easy way, start your day off with an old-fashioned stair-master, and climb your way to your cubical. After a week of taking the stairs you'll forget the electronic way even existed.


Pick up not delivery

Start walking to your favorite sushi spot instead of having it delivered. The walk will let you take in some fresh air which is definitely good for the bod. It may even take less time. Believe it or not, you know you need to get back to your desk in time to finish that project your boss assigned you, so you'll power walk and burn more calories.


Drink water

Take a break from your calorie-filled coffee. Staying hydrated during the day is essential to having a healthy body. Drink at least two glasses of water during the day to keep you feeling fresh.
If you live close enough, take your bike to work or to the store. Biking is fun and is sometimes a lot easier that walking. You'll get to your destination quicker without having to put any gas in your tank or pay a taxi fare. If you don't have a bike, pick up a pair of rollerblades. Blades won't take up as much space and will burn twice the amount of calories as biking.


参考译文：
现在是否正踌躇着你新的一年的每样计划？害怕接外出的工作，因为会阻碍到你现在进行的任务？
最好减肥的方法是每天都进行一个定量。你大概不会想象到这每一个运动的机会都会改变你现在懒洋洋的外表。不用再想在健身房运动是唯一可以减肥的方法，现在就开始考虑利用简单的运动就能减到肥，甚至不用老是提起它。这里介绍一些小秘方令你开始每日做一些户外运动，根本不用去到健身房。

你是否一个即兴吃东西的人？

走多一些楼梯

每天我们都面对像“走楼梯好呢？还是用电梯”的选择。避免用方便的电梯，利用最原始的方法——走楼梯，开始你每日的行程，一步一步“爬”上你的大楼。走楼梯一个星期后，大约你会忘记根本有“电子化”的楼梯系统的存在。

不叫“外卖”

开始走去你喜欢的寿司店堂食，而取代叫“外卖”。走路会令你吸取更多的新鲜空气，对身体十分有益。而且它更节省时间，信不信由你，要知道如果你收到指示，老板要求你回到办公桌完成交拖的工作，你会吃得更加快同时燃烧更多的卡路里。
喝多一点水
现在开始不再喝高卡路里的咖啡。保持一整天的水分对于拥有一个健康的体魄是十分必要的。每日至少喝2玻璃杯的水能够令你总是感觉新鲜。
如果你住得比较近，可以踏自行车上班，或者去百货店。踩自行车是一件十分有趣的事，而且比走路更加容易。你可以去到目的地而不用为你的汽车加油，并节省打的的钱。如果你没有自行车，可以买一双滑轮鞋，滑轮鞋占的空间少，而且比骑自行车燃烧更多达2倍的热量。
