Constant Movement

Keep moving! Your mother always told you not to fidget, but that is exactly what you should be doing! By moving constantly, you're always burning calories. Circle your foot when your sitting at your desk, tap your fingers, shift in your seat, squeeze your buttocks; all of these things are movement and essentially, exercise.

Ankle rolls

The track coach in high school told me to write the alphabet with my big toe(both feet) while sitting or watching TV to strengthen my ankles. I do this with my seniors in Tai Chi class while we work the strength and balance of the other leg. I encourage them to do it at home but they all confess they don't.
