走楼梯。步行去上班。他们真的燃烧了多少卡路里?

Losing weight boils down to math. Consume fewer calories than you burn, and you’ll lose weight and vice versa. And the surest way to ensure the math works in your favor is to think big: Exercise more, drink less, eat smaller, healthier portions. Easy, right?

好吧,如果很容易,每个人都会做到。老实说:在我们忙碌而压力的生活中,其中一些生活方式的改变并不总是可能。那么,通过改变我们做普通(但必要的)事情(例如上班或购物)的方式来改善利润率呢?

我们研究了一些通常吹捧的方法,可以通过小小的增量步骤减肥,并评估它们是否真的值得做。我们发现的可能会让您感到惊讶,您可以在下面看到所有内容:

这似乎很容易,甚至听起来很吸引人:通过跳过狭窄的电梯,闲聊的闲聊开始您的工作一天,以快速摇摆楼梯。根据myFitnessPal应用,您将每次飞行楼梯燃烧大约9卡路里的卡路里,因为它需要一分钟才能使一个150磅重的人爬上飞行。(显然,您的里程,或者我们应该说镜头,可能会有所不同。)

That might not sound like much, but depending on what floor you work on, it can add up. For example, I used to work on the eighth floor of my building and didnot走楼梯。如果有的话,我每天将燃烧大约72卡路里的卡路里,或每天144卡路里的卡路里。每周总计720个,每年约36,000(假设一年有50周的工作)。

作为参考,这大约等于每天喝一瓶12盎司的啤酒。总而言之,似乎是一个很好的权衡,尤其是考虑到像任何练习一样,它会变得更加轻松。

这对您来说是多么可行,因此我将仅列出我过去的两个示例。当我在曼哈顿生活和工作时,我跳过了地铁,走了.75英里,每道路工作,这意味着将近一个小时的狂风,雨或闪耀。每天加起来,每天加起来有175卡路里的热量,这是一种健康的节省。(这也增加了我的整体生活质量,至少在天气不残酷时。能够观察人类的范围是每天开始和结束的一种鼓舞人心的方式。)

现在,我住在奥斯丁,臭名昭著的交通拥堵。我每周几次去办公室,可能ride my bike there如果我这么选择。(就我个人而言,我担心这样做并不完全安全 - 您的城市和您在高流量区域的自行车经验会影响您的决定。如果您骑自行车,请戴上头盔并考虑要么,穿着反光齿轮或两者兼具。)

Biking 7.5 miles a day would take me roughly 40 minutes each way, per Google Maps, adding up to 444 calories burned on my round-trip commute. That’s serious savings: 2,220 calories per five-day workweek and a whopping 111,000 per year. That’s roughly 55 full days’ worth of calories, based on a 2,000-calorie diet. (And while 45 minutes might sound like a long commute, it typically takes me around 20 by car, due to traffic.)

这是另一个,一系列因素阻止了mines how effective this is for you, but here’s what the research shows: The average parking spot is roughly nine feet wide. So let’s say you’re parking, oh, 30 spaces further away than the closest available spot. That’s 270 additional feet each way, so 540 additional feet total. Assuming you only do this for one trip a day, you’re walking two extra miles a month or 24 per year. That equates to 7 3/4 hours of walking or 1,421 calories … for a year. We’ll say: It’s not worth it, at least not for the calories. That said, the extra movement and circulation is always for the better, and if you’re driving to a lot of destinations (as part of a job or any other activity), it could add up.

我们给您带来坏消息:使用站立式桌子,您每小时会燃烧大约8-10卡路里的卡路里,这意味着您会燃烧,最多,在八个小时内增加80卡路里。这是假设您一直站着,而无需一次休息。因此,虽然我们知道整天坐着对您来说非常可怕,但事实证明,至少您想减肥,静止不动并没有好很多。但是,嘿,至少看起来很酷,对吗?

Sure, some over-caffeinated writers we know insist black coffee tastes better. But if you’re among the many who crave cream and sugar in your morning joe, know that you’re adding roughly 70 calories to your diet a day. It’s not as bad as drinking a can of soda (roughly 150 calories), but that’s assuming you only drink one cup. (And who only drinks one cup?) Cut out the cream, and you’re still adding roughly 16 calories per teaspoon of sugar. The worst offenders of all are those oversized “coffee drinks” you can get at certain chain shops, which can run in the hundreds of calories. (Black coffee has only a nominal calorie count.)

说到含咖啡因的饮料,还有一个提示:如果您发现自己渴望在下午中旬燃烧的东西,请将苏打水换成苏打水以节省150卡路里的热量(可以这么说)。您需要沿着很多楼梯(也许要求在更高楼层的办公室)来弥补这一点,以弥补这一点。
