Lose weight by using a wireless headset

Could switching from a regular telephone to a wireless headset help you lose weight while you work? Let's weigh up the benefits...  

You've probably read that we burn more calories standing than we do sitting. So, with a wireless headset on, every time you need to make a call or answer one, you can get off your chair and chat while standing or walking about.

You could use a headset at home and at work to increase your daily physical activity level. Remember, every bit counts!

In fact, a recent study by the Oregon State University found that the health benefits of short bouts of physical activities can be just as beneficial as a formal workout when they add up to 30 minutes a day! 

If you have to spend a lot of time on the phone, using a wireless headset or cordless phone while standing or pacing is just another way to get moving and boost your metabolism.

As you become comfortable with your wireless headset, try swinging your arms or do a few squats while you chat. The more you move the better!
