Take More Steps

Add steps to your daily routines. There are plenty of opportunities to add steps to reach your goal of being more active. Here is a list of things you can do right away:

• When going to the supermarket, park as far away from the door as possible.
• If you work in an office, take the long way to the kitchen or bathroom.
• If your job entails meetings, suggest that the meeting be a "walking meeting".
• Get up and change the channel on the TV rather than use the remote.
• Take the dog for a walk or run.
• Go for a walk with the family after supper.
• Use a push mower rather than a rider to mow the lawn.
• Go for a 30 minute walk during lunch.
