Easy Ways to Get Fit

Do you want to lose a few pounds but hate going to the gym or don’t want to go -----(a)-----

a diet? Doing little tasks throughout the day probably burns -----(b)----- calories than an

exercise class. Small things like household chores, such as ironing or vacuuming, walking to

the corner shop to buy -----(c)----- milk or even shaking your leg when sitting at your desk can

have a big impact on your fitness. -----(d)-----, for example, burns more calories than sitting.

So, try to stand -----(e)----- you can, like on the train or the bus. Doing these little -----(f)-----

can make up to 50% of our daily energy consumption. Keep moving is also a far less stressful

way to stay -----(g)----- and fitter. Even for people who don’t want to lose weight it is important.

Not moving enough has been linked to serious health -----(h)-----. Luckily, doing little activities

is something everyone is able to do. It needs no special skill and can be -----(i)----- anytime,

anywhere – for as long as you like. And it costs less -----(k)----- a gym membership but is

apparently worth much more.
