Save On Electricity & Lose Weight
I recently started working from home and haven’t changed our programmable thermostat to start pumping out heat during the day, so sometimes it gets a little cold around here. One solution would be to move the space heater from the basement up to the office on the second floor, but I found an alternative that not only saves us electricity (space heaters are notorious energy hogs) and helps me work out, albeit only a little bit.
I find that if I’m cold, the easiest way to warm myself up is to do twenty push-ups followed by twenty crunches.
Over the course of a day, I figure I can crank out a minimum of a hundred of each, which is a hundred of each more than I would’ve gotten normally. As an added bonus, since the physical exertion gets my blood flowing and my body temperature up, I won’t need to turn up the heat!
Win-win!
