If you are a normal human being, chances are you do not enjoy working out. I have a deep hatred for all forms of exercise. But with summer upon us, so is the dreaded "bikini season" and if you're like me you would prefer to not have to work for the very sought after "summer bod". Here's 8 things you can do to help you stay in shape without actually having to exercise.
1. Park Far Away From The Restaurant
When you go out to eat make sure to park your car as far away from the restaurant as possible. This way you can burn some extra calories before and after your meal walking to and from the car.
2. Get Your Tan On
Because it's summer this means it's probably really hot and humid, so you will sweat. You can easily work on your tan and also burn some body fat.
3. Go For A Swim
I'm not saying you have to be Michael Phelps and do laps, but take a moment to cool down in your local pool or lake.
4. Chase The Ice Cream Truck
Isn't there some saying, "nothing is handed to you, you have to work for it"? If you want that vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles you gotta put in a little work.
5. Go To The Beach
Walking in sand takes so much effort, it must count as some time of cardio.
6. Take A Nap
Depending on your weight, you can burn up to 69 calories per hour while sleeping!
7. Go On A Shopping Spree
Walking around the mall for a couple hours is a guaranteed way to burn a couple extra calories.
8. Go See A Sunrise/Sunset
Wanna get that perfect sunrise or sunset picture for VSCO? Take a hike. No literally climb a mountain or something, the view is probably better up there and it's a sure fire way to get the blood pumpin'.
Really though, how important is it to get the perfect "summer bod"? I guess there's always next year.
