The workout that takes almost no effort

No time to go to the gym? You simply incorporate these exercises into your daily activities.

Lunges for breakfast
Is your oatmeal still warm? Do some lunges towards the counter while you wait.

On the way to work
Preferably walk or bike to work. If that's too far, add some abdominal exercises to the car or train ride. Tighten your abdomen and hold for ten seconds. Repeat several times. Park your car a little further away or get off one stop earlier to quickly grab a power walk before your working day begins. and keep your Fitbit how much you have moved. You can find it here .

Sitting on a fitness ball
Replace your office chair for a sitting ball or fitness ball for a few hours. With a ball you move more, you automatically have a better posture and you easily train your back and abdominal muscles. When ordering, pay attention to the diameter/height of the ball † You buy it here for less than 25 euros.

Block around
Get your lunch from the local bakery or pick up some fruit from the supermarket. A ten-minute walk at a high pace will make you feel energetic again and prevent a work slump.

In action at the coffee machine
Still taking that dip? Time to move a little! While waiting for the coffee machine, tighten your buttocks and hold this for fifteen seconds at a time. Walk up and down the stairs and stretch yourself.

Messages for your biceps
Walk by the supermarket after work to get ingredients for dinner. Leave the shopping cart and get a basket. By filling it with products, you immediately have a small workout for your arms. Don't forget that heavy bag of sweet potatoes and a carton of almond milk.

Fit on the couch
Before you plop down on the couch, you might want to do a few more exercises. Think of planks for a minute, other abdominal exercises or a shoulder bridge, where you lie on the floor and raise your hips. With a mat you make your workout just that little bit more comfortable. Turn on your favorite series or movie in the background and the workout is done in no time.
