How to increase your daily steps?

Since the craze for smart fitness trackers and watches began, many people have become aware of the 10,000 steps a day challenge. This figure is a recommended number of steps for an able-bodied person each day. By setting yourself a target such as this one and monitoring it using a pedometer or smart fitness watch, increasing your steps each day can become a fun daily challenge.

There are simple ways in which you can increase your steps each day, this includes making a daily walk a part of your usual routine. For example, you could:

  • Walk to work or incorporate a walk as part of your journey
  • Walk your kids to school
  • Choose the stairs over the elevator or escalator
  • Meet friends for a daily walk
  • Walk to the shop instead of drive
  • Ditch the car as much as possible for short journeys

Lose weight by walking

To contribute towards your weight loss goals, your daily walks and increased daily steps should be combine with a healthy, balanced diet.

A daily walk which would help to burn more calories should be at a brisk pace, which is slightly faster than a typical stroll in the park. You may feel slightly out of breath but not unable to speak. For those wishing to push themselves further, walking can be done on flat land and across hills. If you are looking for a challenge, consider a hike, where you will be walking across various terrains and uphill.

By walking for 30-90 minutes each day you will be contributing towards improving your fitness and weight loss goals. How you decide to increase your daily steps is totally up to you, there are plenty of options for all types of people.
