Walking 10,000 steps a day is considered a benchmark for staying fit and healthy.
It’s an easy target to follow and can also motivate you to ditch the car and get moving, but sometimes it’s not easy to hit that goal every day.
But there are some clever ways to help you get your steps in.
In the 1960s in Japan, a researcher called Dr Yoshiro Hatano discovered that to remain at our optimum health we needed to be burning 20% of our calorie intake. Which on average, happened to be 10,000 steps.
Now The World Health Organisation recommends that people reach this goal each day to improve their health.
Don’t take the lift or escalator, opt for the stairs every time!
A treadmill at your desk or a standing desk can help you stay active and keep you moving.
Only if you are a fan of pooches, mind! Walking the dog for just 15 minutes can help you get nearly 1,000 steps in!
Depending on how far away you work, you could easily get in over 1,000 steps by doing this every day.
The extra steps of walking to or from your car adds up quickly.
Why not take your work calls outside? A 30 minute stroll is worth 1,800 steps!
Keeping your floors clean can help you rack up around 94 steps per minute – now that will make a serious dent in your daily step goal.
While the kids play, you walk the perimeter or why not add a swing set work out.
Did you know that a simple game of hide-and-seek can help you get up to 10,000 steps alone?!
Not only will it help you digest your meal but a brisk walk will also help up your daily count.
