We all know we need to move more, but it can be hard some days. Here are 10 easy way to help you get your 10,000 steps in everyday.
- Walk circles in your house (my path is through my kitchen, into the dining room, front hallway, family room - then repeat!)
- Do a Walk Away the Pounds video. The lady on the video is kind of silly, but her 4 mile walk + normal activities = 10K steps.
- Walk your dog!
- Pace (or dance!) when making dinner.
- Make a treadmill desk. (My husband did this. Don't knock it 'til you try it.)
- Meet a friend, and go for a walk! Friend therapy and exercise. It's a great combo.
- Walk around the mall, Target or Walmart. (Try not to shop!)
- Walk to close locations (pool, playground, library)
- Set alarms on your Fitbit or other device to go off every hour. When you hear the alarm, go walk 1,000 steps.
- Compete with a friend. There's nothing like a friendly competition to get you off your butt!!
Thanks for reading! Here's a little bit more about me. I'm a stay-at-home mom of six children, three dogs, and four cats. I am also a military wife. I love to quilt and sew when the house finally quiets down. I have been sewing for many, many years. I've been quilting for about 6 years, and I've had my business for four. I enjoy writing quilting patterns, and hope to share many more with you soon! I currently home school five of my six children. Two of my six children have Celiac Disease, so we are also gluten free household. I hope to share my adventures in home school, quilting and Celiac Disease through my blog.
