Why I Begin Walking Throughout the Day

When I began working from home, I noticed I was not moving as much.  Some days I would look down at my FitBit and notice I had taken less than 3,000 steps.  I had to face the fact that I was becoming more and more sedentary with each passing day, and this was not healthy.

So, I made a commitment to get 10,000 steps each day.  I worked my way up to this.  I started with 6,000 per day, then 7,500, and then 10,000. 

This required me to make some changes to my workdays.  To achieve 10,000 steps, I began:

🚶‍♀️‍➡️walking in the morning

🚶‍♀️‍➡️taking breaks throughout the day

🚶‍♀️‍➡️purchased a walking pad

🚶‍♀️‍➡️following walking videos on YouTube

As a result, I noticed the following:

🔶Clearer mind since I was giving myself breaks

🔶Less strain on my eyes from getting away from the computer

🔶More energy

🔶Increased problem-solving skills

🔶Increased physical agility

If you are someone who sits most of the day and gets little steps, I would encourage you to begin walking and getting more steps in each day to give your body the movement it needs.
