Step to It

Simple Ways to Get Your Steps In All Season Long (Without Feeling Like You're Trying)

You don’t have to hit 10,000 steps on a treadmill to be active. Movement is meant to fit into your life, not take it over. Here are some easy, almost effortless ways to sneak in those steps—no matter the season.

Try This:

• Park further away: The back of the parking lot = more steps for you.

• Walk + talk: Take calls on the go. Even pacing inside your house counts.

• Set a “move” timer: Every 60 minutes, stand, stretch, and stroll.

• After-meal walks: 5–10 minutes post-meal helps digestion and step count.

• Mall walk on cold days: Window shop and rack up steps—cozy and productive

It’s not about hitting a perfect number—it’s about staying consistent and connected to your body.
