Warm-up to Warm up
Commercials left and right are promoting cost saving techniques when it comes to thermostat control. Do this, wear that, find a way and you'll save this much money while also staying warm. At your office or workplace, you may have heard a conversation or two like this:
"It's cold, turn up the thermostat"
"Nope, we're trying to keep the costs down"
"Fine, I'll have some hot coffee then"
"Okay, now back to work!"
STOP! One of my personal training clients mentioned this to me, and brought up a good point. Why not just do a quick little "warm-up" exercise first, get your blood flowing, and then see if you still need that thermostat change, sweatshirt or hot drink? A couple pushups, a wall-sit, even jogging in place, give it a try, then ask yourself if you really need the chnage. Chances are you won't, and you'll get a quick calorie burst in too! Win, win.
