Walk it Out: How to Get in 10,000 Steps a Day—Without Even Realizing It

If the idea of getting 10,000 steps sounds like a full-time job, here’s some relief: You can sneak in steps without changing your whole day. Try out my simple strategies to easily add more steps into your day.

Here’s how to walk more, without overthinking it:

• Park farther than you need to (those extra 30 steps add up—every time)

• Walk & talk during phone calls or voice notes

• Chores count! Vacuuming, laundry, and tidying are movement

• 2 short walks > 1 long one: Try 10–15 minutes morning and night

• Steps during shows: March in place or walk around during commercials

• Set a step timer: Every hour, move for 3–5 minutes. Done consistently? That’s hundreds of steps.

✨ Walking isn’t just cardio. It’s clarity. It’s calm. It’s one of the most healing things you can do for your body.
