A few things that have crept into everyday life, that reduce how much physical activity we do, reduce the amount of energy we burn, making fat loss, weight loss, body composition change more difficult than it needs to be
car trips to the supermarket – why drive if South Woodford Sainsbury’s is a 5-10 min walk away
online food shopping
amazon (or any online shopping)
having a cleaner
having one of those automatic hoovers
having a dog walker – Epping Forest is on your doorstep
elevators
escalators
taxis for walkable trips
buses for walkable trips
seats on the tube – especially if you are out towards Buckhurst Hill and Loughton…more standing ..more calories burnt
sitting for a job all day – city workers take note
computers games/ consoles
tv programmes
tv remote even (thank you Kristel for that one)
handymen doing manual stuff for you
decorators
gardeners
can you add anything to the list
anything you do that removes the need to walk, move, get off your backside, play or generally be active
then we can work on removing the ones that affect us the most
dont freak out….we can keep the tv remotes
If you have any more, then head over to the Facebook page and add to the list
Otherwise, keep up the good work
