Ways to Walk More

1.)Take the stairs whenever you can.
2.)Strap the baby in the stroller and take an after dinner stroll with the family.
3.)Walk in place when you do the dishes or make dinner. This can really add up! I've added on 500 steps while cleaning up my kitchen.
4.)Take a lap around your house or the edge of your yard.
5.)Take a lap around your car before getting your kids out when you go out. You can double up and take a lap after putting your kids in the car too! On days with a few stops you can add up an extra 100 steps or so.
6.)Try family outings that require you to walk. We are huge Zoo fans!
7.)The Mall is the perfect place to walk if you can avoid the temptation to buy something! If you have little kids, You don't have to worry about it being to hot or cold outside. If you have teens, You can make a few laps while they look around.
8.)When you can head outdoors! Go to a nearby park and hit a path with the stroller. Most babies love the ride and you'll feel better getting some fresh air.
9.)Walk in place during TV. commercials.
10.)If you have the time take a lap around the grocery store before you start shopping.
11.)If you live in or near a city take in a day of window shopping.
12.)Instead of meeting your friends for a cup of joe, ask if they would be willing to meet for a stroll. They may welcome the change!
13.)Instead of your normal donations, Walk a 5K for a good cause! Some companies will even pay half of your entry fee. It's nice to walk with people and doing something for somebody else will make you smile!
14.)When you are able, Walk instead of driving.
15.)If your kids do any activities or sports where you have to wait consider walking around the area or even the parking lot(Just be careful!). I know if your kid is playing you'll want to watch but what about practices or classes where you are just sitting bored for an hour. Take some laps!

I hope some of these tips will help you! Always remember, Every little bit helps!!
