KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND KEEP ON GETTING YOUR STEPS IN. WALKING IS A GREAT DESTRESSOR AND IT IS GOOD FOR YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH.
This week we are highlighting the importance of setting a goal for each team member to increase their step intake by 12,000 to 15,000 steps a day (if possible). Find your why or motivation for increasing your step intake. If one of your goals is losing weight more steps taken equals more calories burned…so if your goal is to lose weight and improve your overall health, move more and, make healthier food choices. Setting 12,000 steps or more as a goal is a great way to help you improve your overall health. Even if you're not trying to lose weight, those extra steps can still make a difference in other aspects of health. The additional movement helps improve cardiovascular and cognitive functioning as well as lower stress levels, so I'd still encourage you to aim for those 12,000 steps or more a day,(if possible) as the benefits extend far beyond fat loss. If you are not able to increase your step intake due to health reasons, or time constraints that is ok, any movement throughout the day is beneficial to your health and team. Here are some extra ways you can boost your step count at home and help you get ready for the next challenge:
· · Walk around the house while talking on the phone. · Vacuum the house. · Hang the washing out on the line one item at a time. · Wash the car. · Walk the dog. |
