]]> Sometimes, burning calories and staying in shape can seem really difficult, especially when we focus too hard on counting or staying in shape through commercial means. But what we may forget to take into account is that our bodies burn calories just but keeping us alive and that activities we do just for fun or day-to-day can be burning those calories in the background. So here are three activities that you can count toward your weekly fitness—without ever hitting the gym.

Going to a Concert

Most of the time at high-energy rock, pop, or metal concerts, you won’t just be sitting still and listening—you’ll be standing up and jumping around! Jumping in itself is a great leg-strengthener and calorie burner—plus you’ll be working your abs singing along at the top of your lungs and your upper body waving your arms in the air for longer than you’d normally even work out!

Shopping

Most people know that a brisk power walk can make a great workout and that being on your feet for a long time is exhausting. A comprehensive trip to the grocery store might have you on your feet for an hour or more, pushing a heavy grocery cart in front of you. That’s a bigger physical feat that we give it credit for!

Playing With a Pet

If you have a dog, you probably have to go on at least a few walks a day. That’s already a great way to bring movement into your day, and depending on their energy, you may even be getting some cardio in. Additionally, any pet that likes to be played with is going to have you moving around!

]]> Even though walking isn’t the most rigorous exercise for maintaining optimal health, it’s extremely important for both our physical and mental health. Indeed, there are countless benefits to walking, which we’re about to discuss right now. Here’s what can happen to your body if you start walking less.

Endurance

If you decrease your daily step count, and you’re also not exercising on a regular basis, chances are that you’ll start losing endurance. This means that daily activities like cleaning or walking up a flight of stairs will probably become more difficult.

Mood

It’s a well-known fact that a sedentary lifestyle can affect our mood as well, so you’re likely to feel anxious if you start walking less. This is why taking a walk around the neighborhood on a daily basis is more important than we usually think.

Waistline

If walking is your only exercise, that’s probably not enough for staying in shape and improving your overall health. However, walking is a great cardio activity that can help you burn major calories. So if you don’t move enough on a daily basis, your metabolism can slow down and that can affect your waistline.

]]> Fitness is all about consistency and determination. But it’s not always easy to stay motivated day after day. When the chips are down, we need strong techniques for helping us grit our teeth and sticking with it. One of the best ways to do this is to think about and identify what motivates you. When you clearly and explicitly have this knowledge, it’s much easier to determine plans and inspire yourself to keep with it. Here are three suggestions to help you think about your own motives and what you can do to reinforce them.

Health

One of the key advantages of fitness is its physical health benefits. Regular exercise strengthens the body, improves the immune system, reduces the risk of injury, and keeps your blood circulating. This can reduce the risk of illnesses such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

]]> A recent research conducted in China, published in PLOS Genetics magazine, showed that there’s one activity that’s especially helpful for people who are prone to weight gain but want to stay fit. It’s jogging, and the activities that follow it are mountain climbing, walking, power walking, some types of dancing, and some types of yoga.

Surprisingly, activities like stretching, swimming, and cycling don’t have the same effect. The researchers got these results after asking 18,424 people from China, aged 30 to 70, to share their exercise routines. Then they compared their exercise diaries with their genetics.

These results are not definite and applicable to every single person on Earth. If the only activity you like/can practice is cycling or swimming, that’s still much better than doing nothing. But if you’d like to change your exercise routine, the activities this research found helpful can serve you as a starting point on your new journey.

Do you believe that jogging is the best way to keep the excess weight off?
