Basic fact is, there are loads of secret ways to burn more calories and fat than you might think. Now is the time to make the most of them, the lazy-girl way.
Tip 1: Invest in Heels.
A tip solely for the fairer sex; we are blessed with the honour of being able to wear heels - so why not swap your flats for heels more often? I received this gorgeous pair of boots for Christmas and promptly took them on their first outing, eager to stomp around in heeled boots as I've never actually owned a pair before! Quel l'horreur (or however it's spelt), I know. Wearing heels works out your leg muscles to a much greater extent, particularly the calves, meaning that heels are an essential component for lazygirl leg toning.
Tip 2: Straighten Up.
Good posture helps to create the illusion of 'long n lean', as well as strengthening your stomach muscles in the meantime. Try to pull in the stomach as much as possibly when standing (or sitting), or - alternatively - tensing your glutes wherever possible. If you have a desk job, do some sneaky knee lifts every now and again. These simple strengthening exercising can really be done at any time of the day, whenever/wherever (just save the crazy moves for times of non-public display).
Tip 3: Drink More Water.
Need I say more?
Tip 4: Eat Regularly. (and never skip breakfast!)
For most people, the body uses up more energy digesting smaller meals every few hours than by eating the same number of calories in two or three sittings. So it makes sense to eat little and often, all the while reducing that dreadful sluggish feeling that comes as a drawback of larger meals.
Tip 5: Get Some Zzz.
Sleep more: probably the best tip of all! People who are sleep deprived tend to have a slower metabolism, so it's important to get between seven to nine hours a night for optimum health.
