Five Ways to Add Steps to Your Day
Discover five simple, no-cost ways to fit more steps into your daily routine without needing extra time for workouts.
No time to work out? Adding extra steps to your day is an easy way to improve your activity level and get in shape.
Forget the elevator! Even taking just one flight of stairs adds extra steps and gets your heart rate up.
Going shopping? Park at the other end of the parking lot instead of finding a spot by the front door. Better yet, park several blocks away.
When you’re running errands at the store, take an extra lap around. You may find that you forgot to grab something.
Get the family together to take a walk after dinner. It will help with digestion, increase your heart rate, and give you an opportunity to catch up. If you have diabetes, walking after a meal can also help regulate your blood sugar.
If you’re stuck in line at the bank or waiting for coffee, march in place or give yourself room to bounce a little, especially if there’s music playing.
