We’d all like to be energetic, well-rested and motivated enough to hit the gym every day. Unfortunately, other things often get in the way, but that doesn’t mean you should be beating yourself up for missing a workout. Some of the activities you do on daily basis can serve as an amazing substitute to your rigorous fitness routine.

Gardening

In addition to spending time in the fresh air and getting fruits and vegetables in the process, gardening is amazing for burning calories. After hours of weeding, watering and picking your plants you’ll wish you’d hit the gym instead since it’s cleaner and less exhausting.

Cleaning

If you’ve ever found yourself sweating after cleaning your windows or firing up the vacuum, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about. Household cleaning can be a decent calorie burner, and your home will look pitch perfect afterward.

Grocery Shopping

Shopping can be as exhausting as an hour at the gym because it means you’ll have to walk, walk and then walk some more. Pushing carts filled with heavy items is also part of the “charm”.

Commuting

Walking is one of the most underestimated forms of exercising, but you should do it as much as possible. Implement it into your everyday routine by getting off the bus one stop earlier and using stairs instead of elevators.

Washing your car

Looking for a perfect leg workout you can do in your driveway? Washing your car is all you need! You’ll have to do few sets of calf raises and squats to make sure all the areas are cleaned to perfection.
