The new year is right around the corner, and you might be contemplating how you can revamp your fitness routine. Though it’s a mild form of cardio, increasing your steps every day can do wonders for your health. 

But we get it. Achieving the recommended 10,000 daily steps can feel like a daunting task - especially if you’re sitting at a desk 8+ hours a day. So with convenience in mind, here are four simple steps (no pun intended) to get closer to your daily goal.

 

1. Break It Up Into Sections

Ten thousand steps, or however many you’re looking to reach each day, might seem like a daunting task if it’s not a regular part of your routine. That’s why it’s essential to split up the end goal into several smaller milestones. Determine what time you begin your day and prefer to unwind at night, and divide your step goal into the number of hours you’ll be active. Use this as a starting point. However, keep in mind that if you exceed a milestone or two early in the day, you’ll be that much closer to your final number. So if you can do more at one time, go for it!

 

2. Use A Step Tracker

Nothing keeps you on the right track like a sense of accountability. Whether it be your cell phone or a smartwatch, keep a device with you during your waking hours that can monitor the number of steps you take. Having a reminder right there in your pocket will take away any excuses to not reach your end goal.Tip: If you don’t own a smartwatch, there are widget apps that you can download to your phone. Choose the step count brought to you by the Health app, and place the widget somewhere convenient on your home screen. 

 

3. Start Small

Reaching a higher amount of steps every day is something you’ll need to get used to, both physically and mentally. This idea is especially true for those who aren’t involved in an active fitness routine. When working towards a new goal, the last thing you want is to be discouraged and quit, so start small and work your way up. Creating multiple plans leading up to the finish line is also another strategy to keep you motivated. 

 

4. Stay Focused

You can achieve anything you set your mind to, so don’t give up. Keep reminders in your phone and on your desk, set alarms - just make sure that your goals aren’t forgettable in the midst of everyday activities. Try implementing a supplement for focus and concentration into your daily routine if your mind tends to wander. Supplementing your diet can help you out quite a bit with staying on a steady path to success.
