Suggestions to burn more energy while studying/reading

eagle SG

For most students/people, the excuse is can't exercise due to too much work.
I do not believe this is true for most of the time => you only need at most an hour a day to have a good workout. Furthermore, there's no need to work out 6-7 days a week (unless you are as mad as me).

Let's suppose you work out 4 days a week for an hour each time (jogging takes much less time. I don't suppose most of you could really jog for an hour)

4 hours / (24 * 7) = 1 / 42 of your time. Is it really that hard?

But for the very busy.... there are definitely ways to help increase the amount of energy your internal furnace is burning off. Let's help suggest methods to do so.

My suggestions:

1. Stand up while studying or reading (for perhaps half an hour?)
=> Standing up burns more energy than sitting down

2. Do some sit-ups/push-ups while watching tv

3. Drink ice cold plain water (PLAIN WATER)... Helps a tiny tiny bit, but not a lot though.

mi cannot sit still one

so i will always be twirling my pencil or shake leg or erm...i just keep on moving lar....
if i sit still for more than a few minutes, i will have to get up and walk around Rolling Eyes

so yeah. im sure i burn some when i 'sit still' and study or do homework or whatever.....

eagle SG

this is my own experience

ever since I started heavy training, there are seldom places which are cold for me. I always see people wearing jackets or shivering when I feel just nice, or even a little warm...... when in school I mean........

Also, after every meal, I feel very warm...

I believe that this is the effect of higher metabolism from higher muscle mass than before.

shinta SG

i feel like that also... but... it's nto the effect of higher metabolism rate Crying or Very sad

eagle SG
