Achieving this magic number is not always easy if you have a sedentary job or drive a lot. Pressing deadlines or inclement weather keep us pinned to our desks with a promise to “do it tomorrow.”
Stay motivated in your quest to maintain a healthy body weight and keep moving.
Give yourself a smaller task to take 250 steps in each hour. While this sounds like a lot, it could be no more than a trip to the water-cooler or around the office.
Fitness trackers are designed to count steps for us or there are applications on most phones that can do the job.
Start small and promise yourself, starting this week that one day of the week you will reach that 10 000 step goal. Your body and your mind will thank you and you will notice a difference.
