Don’t let guilt over a missed workout consume you. And don’t be too quick to say, “I’m just too busy to exercise.” Without even knowing it, your daily activities might be burning you more calories than a gym workout does for someone who is otherwise stagnant all day. You can feel twice as good about accomplishing these tasks! (Keep in mind these numbers are based on a 150 pound person, so if you weight more your calorie burn will be higher as well.)
