Keep moving! Sedentary jobs do little to whittle the waistline. If you’re sitting in front of a computer or on the phone most of the day, take every opportunity to burn more calories. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, use your break to walk around, do isotonic exercises while sitting at your desk, and be sure to fit time in your day for aerobic activity.

According to a study conducted by researchers at the National Institute on Aging, the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution and the Veterans Administration Medical Center, sedentary older people who participate in an aerobic exercise program show improved cardiovascular function regardless of prior conditioning.

Health and Diet
Limit liquid calories. Soft drinks may be the most popular beverages at a barbecue, and just one soda can add 150 to 200 calories to your daily tally. Have a few glasses throughout the day and you’re talking about enough extras to make the difference in weight loss or gain. Even lemonade and iced tea (if sweetened with sugar) can add up. Stick to water, diet soda or another calorie-free beverage.

Fitness
Although you may consider yourself to be constantly "on the go" that does not take the place of a formal exercise program. Yes, chasing after kids, walking the dog and gardening do add up to calories burned, but if you truly want to reach weight loss and fitness goals, you need to regularly participate in a moderate to vigorous fitness routine.
