Step Your Way to Better Health

A great way to increase your daily activity is to walk 10,000 steps a day, which is estimated to be approximately five miles.  Often, individuals claim that they don’t have enough time to exercise, but studies show that even small increments throughout the day can provide health benefits. Research shows that adults who walk up to 10,000 steps a day are more likely to meet the 30-minute “exercise” recommendation to help reduce chronic disease. So strap on that pedometer and start moving! Beginners may need to establish their step count first - then increase by 500 steps each day until you reach your goal of 10,000 steps a day.  Ways to Obtain Extra Steps Each Day Use the stairs instead of the elevator. Don’t look for a close parking space – park far away and walk. Use the golf cart less or not at all during each round of golf. Take short mental breaks during each workday and walk. Take your dog for a walk. Spend quality time with friends and family on a neighborhood walk.
