Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it can be walked in one. 10,000 steps per day has been advocated to help a person maintain a healthy weight. In order to see how many you walk in a day, buy a pedometer. You just have to set it to your stride length and you’re ready to go. The first time you wear one, you might be surprised how little you’re walking in a day. Maybe it will make you take that evening or morning walk or park farther away in order to reach that 10,000 steps. Some have indicated that we might need more than that to actually maintain the ideal weight ((http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080111231316.htm)) Get a pedometer and test it out, then set a goal of 10,000 steps if you aren’t there yet. Bring it on a trip and brag about how many steps you did total, or in one day- 24,910.
