Walking with a pedometer is easy

It can be very hard to fit exercise into a busy schedule, but, you can get a lot of activity in at work.  With the use of the pedometer, you will be able to see how many steps you can get into your day.

     First establish your baseline steps by:

·         Using your pedometer for three straight days, total each day up and divide by 3 to get your baseline number of steps you take each day.

    

     Set Short-term goals:

·         Increasing steps 100-500 steps in a week

Set Long-term goals:

·         Increasing your steps that you take, up to the 10,000 steps a day. Increasing your pace and/or intensity as your fitness level improves.

    

      Track your Progress: 

·         Write down each day and then at the end of each week, to monitor your progress over a period of time.
