Motivation is one of the biggest factors influencing an individual’s decision to embark on a fast weight loss program. However, most of us have little motivation left to incorporate a full-length workout after scheduling all the priorities of a very hectic day. Even then, it is quite possible to include exercise in your daily life by following some simple tips. Not only will these help you in quick weight loss, it is sometimes easier to do short bursts of exercise rather than a full-fledged time-consuming workout.

Any staircase that you encounter throughout the day can be used as a good workout area. Climbing stairs gives a good workout to your thigh and calf muscles, keeping them toned. If you have time, go down and repeat the process.

Take a brisk walk whenever you can. Walk to the grocery store or to the bus-stop. At office, carry documents to your colleagues yourself instead of relying on somebody else. If you are not carrying lunch from home, avoid the in-house cafeteria and instead walk to the nearest place dishing out healthy unprocessed food. Park your car a few blocks from your office and walk the remaining distance. Walk to and fro while talking over the phone. For distances that cannot be covered on foot, use your bike. Biking is one of the best ever workouts for prompt weight loss apart from toning your entire body.

Stretch your muscles while watching TV or waiting for the bus or doing the dishes. Simple exercises like arm rotation, abdominal contractions, buttock contractions and side lunges require no equipment or considerable time and can be done anywhere. At office, take small breaks of five minutes every hour to move your muscles. Keep arms akimbo and bend sideways on both sides like a pendulum. Practice short intense jogging at one place.

A resistance band can also come in handy for a quick workout. Carried around easily anywhere, these bands provide an excellent workout for your arms and core muscles. Filled water bottles can substitute dumbbells. Drink more water and as you empty the bottles often, you need to walk to the tap to fill them up. While returning, carry the heavy bottles like dumbbells.
