7 tips to increase the number of steps per day to lose weight and stay in shape

    Cát Tiên (Theo hindustantimes) |

    Increasing your number of steps a day may feel difficult, but with a few small lifestyle changes, you can achieve your weight loss goals.

    Walking is a simple and effective form of exercise that is suitable for many people. If you do office work or work at home, increasing your daily steps may require a plan to ensure good health.

    Therefore, aiming to do at least 8,000 steps a day will help you stay healthy and fit.

    Here are some tips from Mr. Vatche Shakarian, a weight loss coach and founder of The Shakarian Method Center (USA), to help you easily achieve your weight loss, figure-up and improve your health goals:

    1. Walk the stairs when possible

    The elevator and escalator are very convenient, but if you want to increase the number of steps, try using a staircase instead of an elevator. Just a few hundred steps at a time can help you gradually accumulate the steps throughout the week.

    2. Should park away from a store or workplace

    Parking away from a store or workplace helps you walk several hundred steps at a time. If you have to go to many stores, you will easily get more than 1,000 steps in a shopping trip or out.

    3. Start your day with some body movements

    Start your day with a walk to help you accumulate your steps in the early morning. This will be easier instead of trying to stuff all the steps at the end of the day.

    4. Walking in your free time

    Taking time to walk during lunch break or free time will help you stay energetic throughout the day. You can combine walking with other physical activities such as swimming or cycling to help your body stay active.

    5. Set an alarm or remind yourself

    Scheduling reminders or setting alarm will give you more motivation to get up and move. If you are doing paperwork, this will help your body relax and move more during the day.

    6. Walk after meals

    A short walk of about 10-15 minutes after each meal will help improve digestion, control blood sugar levels, improve mood and increase metabolism.

    Although walking is not a strong calorie-burning activity, maintaining the habit of walking after meals can contribute to weight loss.

    7. Add walking to the to-do list for the day

    Consider walking as a daily task, like washing dishes or sinks. This will help you remember how to move and increase your steps naturally.
