Be Active Outside the Gym

When people think of activity for fat loss, they usually envision hours on the treadmill or taking an intense spin class. In reality, to get in more activity and boost fat-loss, it's all about just moving more.

Eric Bowling, NASM-certified personal trainer at Ultimate Performance, said he encourages his clients to be more active outside of the gym and increasing their overall steps to 10,000 per day minimum.

"This little addition will increase your daily activity and rapidly boost the total amount of calories burned throughout the day," he said. "This is called non-exercise activity thermogenesis and it's one of the most effective fat-loss tools most people overlook."
