How To Get Fit on Public Transportation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are ways to burn calories while taking the train or bus on your commute other than sweating profusely from a cramped cabin. If you\u2019re working your typical nine-to-fiver in an office, you should take advantage of any opportunities to remain standing. While waiting for your lift, you can do calf raises and hold that position for 10 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once inside, you can offer your seat to someone in need, grab the railing from above, and engage your core muscles as the vehicle turns. However, if it\u2019s your lucky day and there are plenty of seats available, you can work on your abdominals by tucking in your pelvis and doing the so-called \u201ccommuter crunch.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Alternative Transportation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

In an ideal world, it would only take a hop, skip, and jump to get to work or class, providing you the opportunity to use alternative transportation to get where you need to be. Riding a bicycle is the easiest way to make your commute productive<\/a>, and it\u2019s not as strenuous if you can take a leisurely pace. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a cool, calm morning, a bike ride is a refreshing activity as you prepare yourself mentally for the day ahead. Another form of transportation you can try is using a longboard. A longboard is a relaxing form of transportation that <\/span>offers several health benefits<\/span><\/a>, so it\u2019s worth giving it a try. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn a Traffic Jam Into a Pump Session<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

Not all benefit from a close workplace or can rely on public transportation. Driving to work is common for most people, as is the frustration that ensues when you\u2019re fighting everyone else on the road. But you can make those traffic jams fruitful with some useful car exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchase the world-famous grip from a local store to build your forearms and use it to release your anger from the car that cut you off in a constructive manner. Or you could work on your abdominals by using nothing more than your steering wheel, twisting your body back and forth to engage your core. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning To Walk Again <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

The best place to start is by walking. That doesn\u2019t always mean you should walk to work from your home. You could park further away or get off at an earlier stop and take the time to walk to rest of the way. You can cover a mile in 15 minutes with a casual but steady pace, so maybe start the day a little earlier and burn off your morning cup of joe before you clock in. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying one of these best ways to turn your commute into a workout<\/span> lets you start on an optimistic note. Knowing you got a brief workout before the day even begins gives you a sense of accomplishment that you can take on anything thrown your way. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
