Setting the goal of walking 10,000 steps every day is an excellent motivation to move more throughout the day and improve health. But reaching this goal can prove to be difficult if you’re too busy or can’t go out of the house. That’s why we’ve come up with a few simple tips that could help you reach your daily step goal every day.

Walk Every Hour

Sitting for longer periods of time is bad for our posture and circulation and it can lead to many health problems. Taking a short break every hour, even if it’s just for a short walk around the office, will help you stay active during the day and reach your step goals.

Buy a Pedometer

As you already know, a pedometer is a handy tool that will count your steps and it can also motivate you to move more and get to 10,000 steps every day.

Take the Stairs

If you’re really serious about achieving this goal then it’s time to forget about elevators and use every chance to take the stairs and increase your daily step count.

Jog in Place

In case you can’t go outside because it’s cold or you’re worried about your safety, there are always ways to stay active at home. Jogging in place sounds silly, but it’s perfect for burning calories and getting in thousands of steps in front of a TV.
