Well, this is interesting. It turns out, exercise is not the last resort to stay in shape and lead a healthier life. There are a number of ways to incorporate activity into your lifestyle, so that you do not have to hit the gym. This is not for those with diabetes or heart disease. We are speaking in general. Here are 9 proven tips to stay in shape without exercising.

Commute by walking or biking...
Instead of driving in a car, take out your bike or simply walk. This way your commute will not only take out the need to go to a gym, it can also release work related stress and allow you to get more Vitamin D from sunlight. Take the bus half of the way and walk the rest of the way to work.

Sugar and processed foods a no` no`...
Avoid artificial sweeteners and processed food as much as you can. Junk food require a lot more activity to burn off.

Avoid sitting for longer...
People who sit in a desk for hours are at risk for chronic back pain. Avoid sitting for longer than 30 minutes at a time. Frequent walking improves your posture as well.

Get twitching...
Stretching muscles, rolling eyes, moving your neck and wrists, and frequent standing and pacing can help you to burn more calories and boost metabolism.

Eat fruits and veggies...
Fruit contains sugar, but it also contains fiber, which helps to regulate the digestive system. From vegetable we get all the nutrients required for better metabolism.

Deep breathing...
Relax, sit back and breathe deep. Inhale for 1 to 2 seconds and exhale for 2 seconds. Do this for 2 minutes at work or while making dinner or before bed.

Eat smaller meals...
Instead of three big meals, eat smaller meals throughout the day. Plan healthy snacks between meals and shrink the size of portions at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Cleaning and household chores...
Scrubbing, dusting, vacuuming, gardening, sweeping, window washing, car washing, raking and other chores qualify as exercise.

Plan active days out...
Go bowling, bicycling, swimming, or dancing. Devote several nights and weekends to family or friend activities, rather than sitting and watching television.
