If you are trying to be a healthier person

Start by doing more walking

Tips for Increasing Your Daily Step Count

Join a community exercise or walking group

Stroll through a new part of your town, a local park or trail, or a different neighborhood

Use a treadmill or indoor track if walking outside isn’t ideal or possible

Skip the elevator and take the stairs

Park your car further away from your destination

Take breaks during the day to do laps around your office, house, or yard

Put on some music and get moving at home, or listen to an audiobook or podcast while puttering around doing chores

Get a step counter, or use a cell phone app to count your steps for you. Most cell phones have a free app that can tell you how far you walk, how many steps you take, and how much time you spend walking.
