Hitting your daily step goal is a big part of owning a fitness tracker. The number is right in front of you and it's super easy to check your progress throughout the day. You can come up with a goal of 10,000 steps, however reaching that is a different story. Here are some tips to easily reach your daily step goal every single day!
Make Walks More Exciting
If walking is your way to reach your daily step goal, then step up your game! There are many ways to make walking exercises more exciting. If you're on a treadmill, try binge-watching a Netflix series, play a video game, or listen to funny podcasts. If you're walking outside, do so with a friend, family member, or your dog. Other ways to increase your steps with walking is increasing your pace or creating your own step challenges. These all will easily help you reach your daily step goal in no time!
Squeeze More Movement Into Your Day
As society is getting lazier, we must try our hardest to continue to squeeze more movement into your day. These can be super easy and simple things, that will increase the amount of daily steps you take without even realizing it. You can do this in your own household by walking around while talking on the phone, taking more trips up the stairs, and making laundry a workout. You can also do this while out by parking farther away, using a bathroom on a different floor, or taking the "long way" on your routes. Honestly you may even want to consider walking to get coffee or an errand if it is close enough. All of these force you to take more steps, which helps you out tremendously.
Break Your Steps Up
If you have a step goal in mind, no one's making you complete it right away. There are 24 hours in a day, so don't rush to get all your steps in at once. For example, instead of committing to one large walk, break it into three smaller walks after each meal. Doing shorter walks will give you less excuses, as you can complete walks in different atmospheres and with different people. Breaking it into smaller workouts throughout your day will help you so much, we promise. Remember you can also break your steps up by actually taking a break. Playing games, babysitting, or shopping are some prime examples that will get your mind off of your step count, while still helping you reach your daily step goal.
