COUNT YOUR STEPS

COUNT YOUR STEPS

 

To increase your steps:

·       Take 100 steps around your office or home about every hour. Program your computer to remind you when it's time to take a break.

·       At the office, don't e-mail or call anyone within 400 feet of you. Instead, walk to that person and give him or her the message.

·       Take the long way to the restroom.

·       Take a couple of quick laps around the mall before you start shopping.

·       Walk one city block, about 200 steps.

·       Take a brisk walk during your lunch break for about 20 minutes or so, about 2,000 steps.

·       Walk four laps around the track at a high school, 2,000 steps.

·       Play basketball game for 30 minutes, more than 4,300 steps.

·       Low-impact aerobic dancing for 20 minutes, more than 2,500 steps.

·       Play soccer for 1 hour, 8,000 to 10,000 steps.
