Not enough time for sports? So you need to increase physical activity in parallel with other activities.
Get up more often
If you work at the computer all day, then a standing desk is your must have. Strengthens the back, trains the legs and buttocks (as much as possible while standing), helps burn more calories.
If you still work while sitting, then at least once an hour you need to get up, walk, stretch, breathe in fresh air. The second good habit will help you with this - drink plenty of water. Then you will at least have to go to the toilet often.
Carry your bag in hand
When you hang a bag on your shoulder, you end up lifting it higher, the whole body bends - it's not beautiful and not healthy. Carry the bag in your arm bent at a right angle - there your muscles will be tense all the time. Of course, it is worth alternating between the right and left hand.
Wait profitably
If you have to stand in line or just wait for something / someone, then try to spend this time usefully. Keep your abdominal muscles in constant tension, take turns tense your legs, buttocks, do Kegel exercises.If the situation allows you to leave the place of waiting - make at least a small circle so as not to stand still.
Always keep your abs tight
This may seem difficult at first, but it will quickly become a habit. Whether you are sitting at a computer or walking down the street, your abs should always be tense. Over time, you will see the result that even without targeted "pumping" the muscles become stronger, and the stomach is flatter.
Take the hard path
Not an elevator, but a staircase, not a transport, but a walk, not a short road, but a long one (but the main thing is to be safe). If possible, try not to use transport or go through all the stops to get off and walk.
Combine several types of loads
When there is no time for exercises for different muscle groups, do complex exercises that load as much as possible. For example, the same bar that strains the whole body, or squats with simultaneous bending of the arms with dumbbells at the elbows or spreading the arms to the sides, etc.If you work at home, then the dumbbells can be held right at the work table to stretch at least your arms and back several times during the day.
If you have a dog or children, then walk actively with them without resting on your phone.
