Its the little things that count - Gimme20 Posted by Andy Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:55:00 GMT

Regardless of how much formal exercise you do, you still burn more overall calories from activities of daily living then you do from your formal exercise sessions. This is why you are constantly being told to; take the stairs; park an extra three blocks from work; sit on a Swiss Ball rather then a chair at work etc. These small things really do make a huge difference if they become part of your daily life.

On The Naked Trainer we have created a group called Gimme20, which is all about adding small 1 minute bursts of exercise to your day. Join the group and see what the buzz is about. As well as this I encourage you to formalise some of these activities (take the stairs, sit on Swiss Ball at work, walk to work, gardening, etc), add them to your weekly Naked Trainer plan, and make them part of your daily or weekly life.
