Experts say that the cure is very simple and recommend we aim for 10,000 daily steps as a goal and fulfill that goal by moving throughout the day. To be motivated and reminded of this goal, using a step counter is an easy way to keep yourself on the path of being consistently active and beating that silent killer.
Recent technology advancements in step counting have made these devices barely resemble the pedometers you grew up with.
With a new year in the works, why not build healthy active habits now? Here are a few tips to build in a more active lifestyle without devoting hours each week to working out.
· Buy a step tracker that fits with your lifestyle and is easy for you to use. Find one with a real-time display to motivate you to move throughout the day. Track your steps for a week to get an accurate sense of your activity level.
· If you are consistently below 3,000 steps per day, track when and where you are most sedentary. If it is during the work hours, consider walking around for 5 minutes every hour. And if you are able to take breaks, try getting out for a walk rather than sitting.
· If you are in the 7,000 to 10,000 range daily, consider a few minor changes to build those extra steps and establish long-term healthy habits like parking farther away and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
· Consider taking the stairs when you can, as studies have proven that regular stair climbing has significant health benefits. A good place to start is climbing three more flights of stairs than you usually do each day.
· Commit yourself to a long-term stair-climbing goal, like climbing 10,000 stairs for a month or 100,000 stairs by Thanksgiving. While psychologists may disagree on how many days it takes to form a good habit, all would agree it takes more than a week’s commitment. Fitbit.com can track how many steps you have taken daily, monthly or cumulatively.
Once you have established a goal that’s easy to track, you’ll be much more likely to reach the fitness level that will help you live a long and healthy life.
