The easiest workout routine.

You can also do lunges on the staircase by slowing your speed and skipping two to three stairs. You need to keep your legs in the lunge position as you take the next step. Keep in mind – the slower the movement, the more calories you are going to burn.
2. On the Bicycle

If you want to be even more innovative, you can start adding a little weight on the handles of your bicycle.
To work your lower body, start cycling while standing up. It will not only increase the resistance but you can also work on your quads, glutes, and hamstrings.

3. Walk During Work
If your office is nearby and you walk the whole way, fret not, we have something for you as well. Start with one minute of lunging as you walk, they don’t have to be deep lunges.
Another interesting way to burn calories is walking backward for about half a minute, just ensure that there is no traffic behind you while you do so. Always take the stairs whenever you get the chance on the street.
4. During Driving in Car
Yes, it is possible to work your muscles and burn some calories even while you are driving. You can improve your muscle tone while driving by wearing some weight on your arms.
The idea is to increase the resistance on your arms the whole time you are driving. It will also help you to increase muscle composition.
5. In the Metro
First things first, stop asking people to squeeze a little so that you can adjust yourself. Do you want to workout? Give up that seat. You can start with something as subtle as 5 set of calf raises.
If luckily, the metro is relatively less crowded, you can do seat squats. To do the seat squats, let your bottom touch the seat and then stand up. You can repeat the same 3 times.
