Bet you don’t consider some of these daily activities as exercise. Well, they are – and these smart Samsung gadgets can help you track them, as well as your lifestyle habits.
No matter what your fitness goals – whether it’s clocking 10,000 steps daily or getting 150 minutes of exercise weekly – there’s a super simple way to make them a reality: start honouring your day-to-day activities.
You may not notice it, but these little habits are helping you stay fit and burn calories. Keep doing them and you’ll be on the way to achieving a sustainable fitness routine. Every bit adds up!
Enjoying a night out with friends
Chilling out to your favourite songs in a cafe sounds like total relaxation, except that you’re also burning an additional 150 calories for every hour you rock back and forth, tap your toes and nod your head. Sing along and you will torch another 90 calories per hour even while sitting down.
Walking your dog
When you take your over-excited furkid outdoors, it feels as though you’re doing him a favour, but you benefit, too.
Every 10 minutes of moderate-pace walking cuts 33 calories. So if you’re out for an hour, that’s 200 calories down – what you would have burned from a 20-minute jog. Now, go thank your pooch!
Playing basketball
You think you’re joining the gang for a friendly game, but it’s bound to get competitive, and seriously addictive. One shoot becomes two, then three, and then four.
All those shuffling, ducking and jumping movements are exactly what gym rats do in a high-intensity interval training class. Imagine the big burn plus head-to-toe conditioning you can get from a spontaneous sesh.
Running for the bus
