Getting to 10,000 steps

Getting to 10,000 steps a day can be really hard. Since I started the 10,000 steps a day for 30 day challenge I have been falling short of the 10,000 steps a lot! 

Here are some ways to help you reach your goal of 10,000 for each day...

• Take the stairs! 
• Break your goal into smaller goals!
• 10,000 is a HUGE number! I started today to break it down into smaller and more manageable goals. Here is my smaller goals:
• 300 steps from the time I wake up until I leave for work (about an hour)
• 2,000 steps at lunch time at work (about 3 hours into my shift)
• 4,000 steps after work
• 6,000 steps by dinner time 
• 8,000 steps by 8 p.m. 
• 10,000 steps by 10 p.m. 
• (If your mini goals aren't being reached add extra things into your schedule where it will fit and help you become closer to your goal.) 
• Add Jumping jacks, jumping squats, jumping rope, running or jogging (in place) into your morning or nightly routine.   (or both!!) 
•  Break chores into smaller sections that require some extra stepping. 
• Take walking breaks! 
• Go to the gym (if this wasn't already part of your day)
• Walk the dog/kid =)

Hope everyone is doing good with their steps! I hope now that I am done with all day (6/8 hrs) of training that I can get back on track!
