Are you hitting your 10,000 steps per day?
A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that individuals who consistently walked 10,000 steps a day experienced improvements in cardiovascular health, including reduced blood pressure and improved overall cardiovascular fitness.
Research also published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders suggests that regular walking, especially when aiming for 10,000 steps a day, is associated with weight loss and weight management.
5 Steps 😉 To Making 10,000 Steps Achievable
1️⃣ Start Slow
If you’re not accustomed to a high step count, begin gradually. Set realistic targets and gradually increase your daily steps to avoid overexertion.
2️⃣ Incorporate Walking Breaks
Break your sitting routine by taking short walking breaks. Use opportunities like phone calls or office breaks to get up and move.
3️⃣ Use a Fitness Tracking App
Almost every smart phone has a step tracker to monitor your daily steps. Tracking your progress can serve as motivation and keep you accountable.
4️⃣ Make it Enjoyable
Choose scenic routes, listen to music, or walk with a friend. Making the experience enjoyable increases the likelihood of sticking to your routine.
5️⃣ Involve Others
Encourage friends, family, or colleagues to join you on your walking journey. Having a walking buddy can make the activity more enjoyable and provide mutual motivation.
