Tips for Sneaking in More Steps

1. This may sound crazy, but make a go to “Loop” in your home. I promise, it works. Mine is down the hallway, around the island and down the stairs, back up the stairs, around the island and down the hallway again. This works great for extra step while listening to a podcast or brushing my teeth and even waiting for my car to heat up before going somewhere.

2. Walk outside with a podcast on or just enjoy the sound of nature. Take your furry friend out for some steps with you.

3. Walk the mall or get extra step in at your Walmart while shopping. 

4. Park in the back of the parking lot every place you go.

5. Take the stairs.

6. While talking on your phone walk your loop in your home.

7. Do an exercise routine with a YouTube video.

8. Clean the house and put things away one at a time. 

9. If you are running errands park in a central location and walk to each of them, instead of driving to them.

10. Bring in one grocery bag at a time from the car. Make the extra trips for those steps.

11. Get a walking buddy or group to help hold you accountable for each other and encourage each other.

12. Have a competition with friends and family for seven days. See who can get the most steps. Apple makes this so easy to do.

13. Walk in place while talking on the phone in your office.

14. If you are working in an office, be sure to get up and walk on each break. You can also walk during your lunch hour.
