Challenge Of the 10 Thousand Steps a Day

Welcome to the Challenge of the 10 thousand steps a day!
Walking every day can have wonderful effects in your life, your health and general welfare. The goal is to make you reach 10,000 steps a day, or about 5 miles (8 km).
Started!
The first thing to do is get a pedometer, a small device that records every step you take. Some estimate the distance, pace and calories burned up
Generally, the pedometers cost under $ 20 and you can find at any convenience store, pharmacy or sporting goods stores. You really can make your walk more interesting, challenging and even fun.
Once you have the pedometer read the instructions and you’re ready (a) to follow these recommendations:
- Put your pedometer counter to zero to start each day. Use it since you get up until you go to bed.
- Record the number of steps you take each day for a week.
- At the end of the week, calculate your daily average. For example, if you walked a total of 21,000 steps a week, divide that number by 7 days and get the average of 3,000 steps a day.
- After calculating how many steps you have done normally adds between 5% and 10% to that number so that it becomes your goal for next week. So if you did 3.000 steps per day during that week can add between 150 and 300 steps more each day next week.
- Dedicate yourself to achieving the 10,000 steps a day in the next 6 months. It takes about this time the root make a new behavior.
Probably find that using a pedometer can be fun! Before you know it you’ll be looking for opportunities to walk more each day.
Finally, remember that you should consult your doctor before starting an exercise program.
If you stick to this program with discipline, you can probably keep this new lifestyle long-term asset. You’ll be helping to keep fit, healthy and thin.
