1. Commuting to work.
Yes commuting to work is not only a green alternative but a healthy one and here is how. First, usually getting to the train subway or bus can burn a few more extra calories that going from your doorstep to the car door. Also, if you give yourself enough time you can really make your commute a workout by using the subway or bus stops that are a few to several blocks away and walk.

2. Use the stairs.
Whenever possible try using the stairs if you are physically capable. Stairs are a great way to rev up your metabolism in the morning and burn calories. Start out easy at first if you are on higher level floors. And continue to use them throughout the day.
