Things You'll Need:
- Yourself
- Perseverance
- Creativity

Step 1
Forget those front row spots. Park further away and count the number of extra steps you've walked. Give yourself bonus points if you are carrying a mini-fridge that you need to return to the store. Subtract points if you are carrying a new mini-fridge out of the store so you can stock it with beer and sodas for when you veg out in front of the television set.

Step 2
When someone says the word elevator, scream in terror and run for the stairs. People who are claustrophobic and avoid elevators get a nice cardiovascular workout every time they jog up the stairs to their cubicle on the 20th floor.

Step 3
Shop at the warehouse stores. Trekking through the maze of aisles at a brisk pace is workout enough. When you carry all of those boxes filled with 10 pounds of bananas and 50 bottles of water, you are burning some serious calories.

Step 4
Get a push mower and leave that deluxe riding mower in the shed. Avoid self-propelled models. For added benefit, stop mowing and lift a few hand weights every few steps. Don't have hand weights? Pick up some of those beer cans that guy up the street tosses in your yard every night when he roars past and fill them with small pebbles until they are nice and heavy. You've got a twofer - free arm weights and litter removal.
