intervals of about 30 seconds when you stroke the bristles of your brush in different
directions. Experts opine that Balancing works wonders for brain fitness and also

- Try the Ballerina Posture: While the fuming coffee drips out of the machine, place
one hand over the counter and stretch your leg up and out in front of you. Wait
for a second then move your leg to the side then behind. Do the ballerina posture
with each leg for about 5 times each. Experts say that the exercise helps in toning
the thigh muscles, hips and quadriceps. You can burn 10 calories here.

wonders for toning the buttocks. You could burn 10 calories in doing this.
- Dressing Casually: A recent research says that dressing casually like in a cool
pair of jeans, comfy tees and soft-sole shoes can help you lose weight. How? Well,

with tight-fitting clothes that restrict your movement. When you’re on the move
constantly, there are maximum chances of you keeping fit, lean and healthy. You

to Squat? Maybe you should now, say experts. So instead of walking up to your cabin
to sit, just pretend to do so but come back up again without using arms and lowering
your hips but without bending your knees. Try putting your entire weight on your
heels and squat at least 15-20 times during the entire day (home or office). You
could be burning 15 calories by doing this.
- Go Slow on Colas: Yes, your body absorbs differently with the intake of foods and
with the intake of drinks. So, instead of 2 glasses of cola or soda, water or fruit
juice would work better for keeping fit and lean. You could save 300 calories from
getting onto you by doing this.
- Talk Up: When you get a phone call, try standing up to talk. Also keep moving on
your feet. It works well to shed weight. A Mayo Clinic study suggests that on an
average heavy weighing people sit at least two and a half hours more than thin people
do. You can burn 50 calories or more here.
