Check out 100 Benefits of Walking! So many reasons for us to walk!
First! You will need some way to count your steps. I have used Omron pedometer and different Fitbits. Love both of them! The Omron is more simple pedometer mostly for just counting steps but very accurate. The Fitbit is a activity tracker and much more! Also now very accurate! You can use anything that counts steps, just make sure it is accurate.
Great little video on checking your accuracy!
Next you need to know how many steps to walk. The easiest and best way is to put on your tracker and don’t even think about it. Just walk normally for 7 days, then get the average steps you take per week. Now add 500 steps or walk a minimum of 2,000 steps a day (a 15-minute walk). Each week, add 500 steps until you reach the goal of 10,000 steps (approximately 5 miles) per day. Or 15,000, 20,000 etc. steps per day. It is all up to you!
Below is an awesome Pedometer Step Converter, if you want to know how many calories your are burning with your steps. Your pedometer and/or activity tracker may also tell you. You want to burn 250 calories per day to lose 1/2 pound per week or more to lose more per week.
So now we have our tracker, how many steps we want to work for and now ways to get them in..
