Day 22: How to increase your steps per day

1.  Skip the elevator, use stairs whenever possible.

2.  Park your car far away.

3.  Chase your kid or dog around.

4.  Make multiple trips to your car when unloading it.

5.  Walk in place while watching TV.

6.  While doing housework, including making multiple trips.

7.  Instead of driving, walk if you can.

8.  Take a walk during lunch.

9.  When at an airport, take laps instead of sitting at the gate.

10.  If all else fails, 20 minutes at a brisk pace outside or on the treadmill will help you reach your goal!

Day 4: Walk it off

Walk.  Just walk.  It's easy, one foot in front of the other.  Fast or slow.  Uphill or downhill.  Listening to your iPod or listening to the birds.  Just do it.  It's so good for you.  I would list the benefits, but there are so many and you know them already.  And if you need a list of reasons, you can google it.  

So just open the door and go for a walk. Ten minutes, 20 minutes, or an hour.  You want to be fancy about it, get a pedometer or put on a dress.  Just kidding about the dress part.  And when you're walking, look up at the sky.  It'll make you and your problems feel smaller.  

Walk.  You'll be glad you did.
