Following my last post ‘Why you should do more walking’, here are 25 ways in which you can do more steps every day:
- Take the stairs instead of the lift.
- Join a walking club
- Go for a walk with family or friends
- Park further away from the door in carparks
- Get a treadmill at home
- Go for a walk around shopping centres in poor weather
- Walk to work if possible
- Walk to the local shop if you’re only picking up a few bits
- Walk to the post box if you need to send a letter
- Plan a walk around a lake, forest or park
- Stop on the way home from work for a walk
- Take a short break from work and walk to the other end of the office and back
- Go for a walk on your lunch break
- Get off the bus one stop early or one stop late and walk the rest
- Park your car down the road from your house
- Walk upstairs and back during TV adverts
- Pace up and down between sets at the gym
- See if your office has a treadmill desk you could use
- Walk around when chatting to someone on the phone
- Borrow your friend’s dog and take him/her for a walk
- Take your kids to the park
- Plan a day out visiting a city
- Walk your kids to school
- Go to a market or car boot
- Make some of your meetings walking meetings
Why not make your daily steps a challenge by using a pedometer.
