10/26/22-Add 10,000 Steps A Day

Welcome to Fall! We are taking small steps to improve our health to turn October into Walktober! Walking is a great way to increase physical activity at home, work, or anywhere with open space. Walking can increase your cardiovascular endurance, reduce your risk of heart disease, and improve both mind and body health. This week’s workout is to try to obtain 10,000 steps or more per day for the whole week. If you obtain more than 10,000 steps regularly, you can try to obtain more of these steps through jogging, running, hiking, or stair climbing to increase the exercise intensity.

10/19/22-Adding Extra Steps

Parking further away from the office is a great way to add in more steps! You can also do this with parking at the grocery store, department store, or anywhere else to fit in more exercise.

10/12/22-Take the Stairs

This week’s workout is to try to take the stairs! Stair climbing is a great way to increase lower leg strength and increase your caloric expenditure. If you do not have stairs at your facility, you can bring your knees up as you walk to increase the intensity of your exercise.

10/5/22-Add 8,000 Steps A Day
