Moving and performing light physical activity at regular intervals can play a great part in weight loss, as well as regulating metabolism comparable to a regular exercise program.

Modern life offers us a number of conveniences, from elevators to automobiles. However, they are the very reasons why we spend more time inactive, and our body’s ability to burn calories drops. Consistently picking opportunities to perform small bouts of light physical activity can make a great difference in the body’s metabolism.
