15 Creative yet Easy Ways to Put Your Metabolism in High Gear
11. Stand or Pace When the Phone Rings
You already know that every little bit of movement can help you to keep that metabolism going, so think about it; why sit for every phone call? This is a super easy tweak you can easily add to your day that will double the amount of calories your body will burn.
For example, a 150 pound person burns about 72 calories per hour sitting, and 129 calories per hour standing, and about 143 calories per hour walking. So make it a habit to either stand or walk around while you are using your phone. Use speaker phones at the office or get a blue tooth headset to free your hands. The same applies for Facebook, friends.
Either stand while you are using it so you burn more calories or you will find you are using it a lot less. That is a win-win situation!
