We know not everybody is totally thrilled by the idea of getting on a treadmill or heading to the gym to get in their daily exercise.

But luckily for you, exercising at the gym isn't the only way to keep healthy throughout your daily life. Here is a list of 10 life-hacks that will keep you staying healthy, even without the exercise.

1. Go for a walk when stressed

If you opt for a 15-minute walk instead of spending another 15-minutes on that couch, you can burn up to 9,360 calories a year (assuming you burn 6 calories per minute)!

2. Improve your posture


Try out various exercises that can stretch and work your muscles to keep your back straight for long periods of times.

3. Get a Kinect

It's the perfect way to workout without actually working out.

4. Go for a hike or climb a tree

Who doesn't love being one with nature?

5. Clean the house

Housework is a great way to burn calories! Your arms will get stronger and more defined, just from doing all the hard work with your hands!

6. Stretch when watching television

This not only keeps your back from hurting, but it gives you a jolt of energy.

7. Wash your car

On average, people can burn 6 cals/min washing their cars.

8. Get into gardening

You'll know where your food is coming from and you'll get some exercise while doing it.

9. Pay more attention to portion sizes

what you eat. Sometimes it's about how much you're eating.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
