## Use the stairs

Whenever you have the opportunity, don't take the lift...use the stairs instead (for going up and going down). This will allow you to work your leg muscles and burn calories; if you take the lift, you won't benefit.

No more excuses – take advantage of this good habit to improve your health.

## Instead of using the car, walk or use a bicycle or scooter instead

How many times a week do you say "I should have cycled or walked, it would have been quicker!"?

If done on a daily basis, these good habits will help you burn a maximum amount of calories and lose excess pounds. They will have a positive effect on your body shape and health.

Time to take action:

- Whenever possible, walk!
- Keep a scooter in the boot of your car, that way you can park further away and finish your journey while burning calories.
- Cycling is also an excellent way to burn calories and it's cheaper than using the car.

## Start your day with a fitness routine

A fitness routine is a series of exercises to enable you to work a large part of your body's muscles. Repeat every two days in the morning before breakfast; it will help to revitalise your muscles and body.

Choose one exercise for each part of the body:

- 1 exercise for your abs and cardio: 30 knee lifts (jog on the spot while lifting your knees)
- 1 exercise for the lower body: 10 squats
- 1 exercise for the upper body: 10 push-ups
