Lunch Break Exercise

Why should you spend your mid-day break being active?Lunchbreakexercise_1216265

There are so many reasons! For starters, you're less likely to order unhealthy food and this alone could save you an extra 500 calories a day (that's almost a one pound weight loss your first week right there!).

Second, you'll have more energy throughout the rest of the day after getting some lunch time activity.

Third, you can do something as simple as going for a 30 minute walk. It's easy and you can add those expended calories from walking to the calories you skipped by not hitting the vending machine or choosing some other unhealthy meal. Instead, you'll be more likely to go for a well-balanced, energizing lunch.

Now you can see how just 30 minutes during your lunch break can really help with your weight loss goals. Be sure to check out my 7 part Spring Shape Up series for more details.
