SMALL STEP #2 - TAKE MORE STEPS

​ Take more small steps.

Use a pedometer to count your daily steps; then add 2,000, the equivalent of one extra mile.

Keep adding steps, 1,000 to 2,000 each month or so, until you take 10,000 steps on most days.

If possible, take the stairs instead of the lift or escalator.

Maybe get off the bus a stop earlier than usual and walk the last little bit of your journey?

If you're stuck at home, walk/run up and down the stairs a few extra times to get your heart rate up a little.

If your local shop isn't that far, perhaps you could walk there, rather than automatically jumping in the car.

There are lots of ways you can squeeze in a few extra steps here and there.
