Tip 34: Exercising with Kids Underfoot

 
 



As any new parent will tell you, kids are a full-time job unto themselves. But many moms and dads regard the birth of a child as a new phase in life, and they want to take the opportunity to shed excess pounds and be the best parent they can be.

So how do busy parents make time when they have a demanding infant or toddler underfoot? There are several tactics, actually.

First, try to get someone to watch the baby while you sneak in a workout. You never know; your spouse or parents might cherish the thought of having some regular one-on-one time with the new arrival.

If babysitters are scarce, try some exercises you can do with the baby. If you have an infant, join a stroller walking club for fun and fitness. If you have a toddler or older child, take them to the park or swimming pool. You’ll have a good time while you get fit!
 
 

Tip 35: Burn More Calories While You Run Errands

 
 



Your calorie burning doesn’t have to be limited to workout sessions. In fact, you can burn calories all day long while you go about your daily tasks.

Think about it: How much time do you spend sitting in traffic, standing in line at the grocery store, and sitting at a desk? That’s a lot of sedentary time you could spend getting a little extra calorie burn.

When you’re driving around, try sitting up straight and sucking in your stomach. Visualize your bellybutton pulling back toward your spine. Hold this clench for 10 seconds, then release. Repeat as often as you can.

Butt-squeezes sound funny, but they are an excellent way to tone your backside. Plus, nobody will even realize you’re doing them! While sitting or standing, clench your glutes as hard as you can. Hold for a count of 10, then release and repeat. Practice until you can hold the clench for 30 seconds.

Of course, you can always burn more calories by parking far away from store entrances and taking stairs instead of elevators. Every little bit helps!
 
 

Tip 36: Calculate your BMR

 
 



Before you burn calories, you need to know how many calories your body needs in order to function properly. You can find this out by calculating your basal metabolic rate, or BMR.

There are many detailed BMR calculators online, but here are some simple rules that will give you a good estimate of your caloric needs:

  • To lose weight, you need to eat 12 to 13 calories per pound of body weight.
  • To maintain your weight, you need 15 to 16 calories per pound.
  • To gain weight, you need 18 to 19 calories per pound.

Thus, a 150 pound person needs at least 1,800 calories each day to lose weight and keep their body running efficiently. This requirement can vary according to gender, age, medical conditions, and activity level. You can receive more customized results from online BMR calculators or your health care provider.
