Between all the work obligations and deadlines, sometimes it's hard to keep moving. Getting enough exercise into your daily routine can be quite a challenge. Did you know that 10,000 steps equals a 7 to 8 kilometer walk. To reach the 10,000 steps you are walking for about 1.5 hours.
What if I told you that achieving 10,000 steps doesn't have to be that complicated at all?
There are several tips that will help you get to your goals!
- Walk during breaks.
In the middle of the workday, a short walk provides a refreshing break. As you leave your workplace, breathe in the fresh air and give your body some much-needed exercise.
- Take the stairs.
Although the temptation of an elevator is sometimes irresistible, try opting for the stairs. Opting for the stairs is not only good for step count but also good for your health. Climbing stairs has a positive effect on people's weight, fitness and blood pressure.
- Organize a walking meeting.
Turn meetings into an active affair by organizing walking meetings. As ideas flow, the number of steps on the counter also increases. A win-win for both productivity and health.
- Use a pedometer.
Make the most of technology and use a pedometer on your smartphone or smartwatch. Not only is it a handy tool to keep track of your steps, but it also acts as motivation to reach your daily goal.
- Meet up with family and friends
Why walk alone when you can also spend time with loved ones? Schedule walking appointments with friends and family, which not only gets you moving, but also allows you to enjoy quality time together.
- Evening walks
After a long day at work, an evening walk is a perfect way to clear your head and relax. Leave the stress of the day behind as you leisurely stroll through the neighborhood.
- Nature walks.
For nature lovers, forests and beaches offer a fine setting to reach your step goal. Be surrounded by beautiful nature as you challenge yourself to walk more.
