How to walk 10,000 steps a day

To appease your conscience that’s been nagging you to increase your activity level so you can lose a little weight, just keep these simple steps in mind:

Park farthest away at parking spaces. This will force you to walk more and though you might not like it initially, you’ll soon start enjoying the bit of exercise it gives you.

Always use the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator at work or shopping. Take 10 minutes off from your lunch break and take a walk. After all, every step helps.

And even otherwise, remember, every step you take throughout your day benefits your health and gets you moving. Start out slowly with little changes. Record your daily steps for a week.

Take the average of the 7 days and decide what little changes you could make to reach up to 10,000 steps a day.
