    *On Demand workouts (including 30ds) all free
    *parking far away and walking to the store
    *walking anywhere
    *dancing in my living room - do this all the time!

    Pre-MFP when I was just starting the whole healthier lifestyle thing I bought a cheap pedometer and started parking on the far side of the lot when shopping or parking a block away when running errands. I've since gotten rid of the pedometer but the habits are still there. I always get a few extra steps in whenever I can:)

    Boxing! We have a big boxing bag hanging in the garage. If I want to jack up the HR, just go punch the bag for a while. Dance while you do it and mix in some kicks and it's a full body workout!

    LOVE www.bodyrocktv.com and www.toneitup.com I do a shredmil 2.o workout that is on the TIU site. My HRM says I burn 400+ cals with that one. It's a HIIT workout.

    10 burpees
    10 switch kicks with each leg
    10 jump squats
    That counts as 1 set, repeat for 10 sets. I can burn 400-500cals in 20 mins. if I go non-stop and only take short breaks at the end of a set.
