A few weeks ago, I started gathering tips from Facebook friends and clients on how they managed to get in the minimum 10,000 steps a day using activity trackers.
Now mind you, 10,000 steps a day might be a huge increase for someone who is completely sedentary, and the number (10,000) is more like a nice goal, although a smaller goal (7,000 or whatever) might be appropriate for some people here.
My Fit Bit Band has white hearts on it. Not only did my kid pick it out, but it’s also super tough looking.
Regardless, the basic idea of moving more in a day isn’t a bad one, given how overly sedentary most of our jobs and engineered environments are. We drive everywhere, take elevators, and sit at our desks all day long. So, if you get a FitBit, or a pedometer, or any other activity tracker that suits you, the following tips should help you achieve more steps, more movement, and more unstructured/non-gym activity.
So how can you get a move on?
