Trying to lose weight is a goal that most of us would like to accomplish at one point or another in our lives. Whether the aim is to lose 5 pounds or 50 pounds, the road to success is almost always the same regardless of your target weight – exercising more, sitting less, and overall avoiding a sedentary lifestyle. However, for many of us, a busy work life usually means more hours are being spent in the office sitting and fewer hours exercising than is really good for our bodies over the long term.
Think about it this way – if you have a typical office job, you’re likely sitting for 6 to 8 hours every day, and that doesn’t even count any commuting time spent driving in your car, riding in a subway, or speeding between train stations or bus stops.
With all the hours spent at work (and with much of that time being spent in the sitting position), finding time to exercise becomes a seemingly impossible goal.
So, how is it that you can exercise your way to a healthier you without giving up your day job? Here are 9 tips that can help you to lose weight and exercise more, even if you lead a hectic lifestyle.
