Staying active in the winter is quite a conundrum and even reaching the recommended 10,000 steps per day might seem impossible. If you’re struggling to hit this number once cold and gloomy days arrive, this brief guide will help you increase your daily step count in no time.
Step Out on a Nice Day
We don’t get too many sunny days in the winter, but you should put them to some good use once they come your way. Step outside every time it’s not too gloomy or rainy outside, or consider checking the weather forecast in advance so you could plan longer walks.
Indoor Walking
Walking indoors is not so hard when you have a big home and can make a lot of steps just walking around and doing chores. On the other hand, if you’re living in a small apartment, you’ll probably struggle to increase your step count, but you can always head to a local mall where you can cover more ground.
Give Treadmill a Chance
Treadmill walking is another great way to increase your daily step count this winter without walking outdoors. Most people use this gym essential for running, but speed walking is also an option, and you can easily push your step count to 10,000 if you give it a try.
