Take More Steps Each Day

Ideally, you should take a minimum of 10,000 steps each day. That might sound like a lot, but break it up into smaller, more manageable steps, suggests nursewise.com, a health education company. Instead of sending a quick email or instant message, walk over to your co-worker’s desk. Bonus points if you take stairs to get there! Use your lunch or other breaks as a chance to take a walk. An electronic fitness tracker, such as a pedometer or a wristband, can help to track your daily steps and easily hold yourself accountable.
