Ways to Add Steps to Your Day

There are a lot of different ways you can add to your daily step count.  (And no, sitting and shaking your pedometer does not count!)

• Walk down the hall to see a co-worker
• Take the stairs when possible, instead of the elevator
• Park farther from the office, the store, or wherever you drive
• Walk the kids to school instead of driving them
• Take the dog for a walk.  Or the cat.  Or the hampster... why not?
• Take a break from work and walk around the building
• Go fly a kite
• Do your grocery shopping in the order you have items listed, instead of going aisle-by-aisle. (Unless that's how you list your groceries.  Then you've got bigger problems!)
• Chase the kids around the house
