You take the elevator when you need to go up a few floors, you get on the little motorized walk ramp at the airport, and you park as close to the front door as possible. At first glance, choosing these little convenient modes of transportation doesn't appear to make much of a difference in your daily life. The fact is, they do. A flight of stairsburns, on average, 15 calories. If you're taking stairs at work, the mall or in your home on an average day, that could add up to 225 or more extra calories burned. Walk a bit further to get to the front door when you're shopping and you could burn an extra 30. Forgoing the automatic walkway in the airport -- an extra 100! When given the opportunity, use your body, not the elevator or the car. That's what it's made for.

就算只有几级台阶，你也要搭电梯。机场的步行电梯你从来都不会放过。把车停在靠近商场前门的位置，越近越好。起初，这种代步的便捷工具看似对你的日常生活没有多大影响，事实是，它们的影响大着呢。走楼梯的话，平均每层可以消耗15卡路里。如果你每天都走楼梯上下班、进出商场、在家走动的话，那么你每天就能多消耗至少225卡路里。去逛街时，多走几步路去商场门口也能多消耗30卡路里。在机场不走步行电梯的话，还能多消耗100卡路里!只要有机会，就多动动你的身体，别总是坐电梯或坐车，你的身体是用来让你动的。
