How to beat 10,000 steps a day effortlessly

An hour in the gym is not enough to leave a sedentary lifestyle behind. It may even be more important to lose weight, or improve health, what you do during the remaining 23. In fact, it is estimated that, at a minimum, we should take 10,000 steps a day to notice any benefit ., as stated by the World Health Organization in its annual recommendations.


Information taken literally by all activity meters, which include it in the form of a 'daily goal' as soon as you put them on your wrist. What's more, increasing daily activity, beyond training, is an effective method for losing weight. As the Power explosive coach, Eneko Baz, explains, "the sum of everything that is done throughout the day implies an energy expenditure. Therefore, more than a new habit,


it is about changing your lifestyle towards another more active"But sometimes, office work can become the archenemy of the active person in all of us. And no, it is not an excuse. In fact, it is normal to believe, at first, that we lack hours to give so many footsteps. But don't panic! There are ways to accomplish it without changing your routine!


Trade traffic jams for rides

Comfort is the prelude to laziness. Especially in winter, we tend to rush the journey by car or public transport to get as close as possible to our workplace. But, what if we calculate a new route in which, for a while, we do it walking? The arrival time, in the end, will be similar, since we will avoid the traffic jams of rush hours. Try to park a little further than usual.

Although at first you may not realize it, it is a toxic relationship. A turbulent romance that must be ended if you want to keep your line, and your health, before it's too late. For this reason, one way to remedy sitting for so many hours is, neither more nor less, to get up every one or two hours to stretch your legs. That easy! You can take the opportunity to go to the bathroom, to drink some water or even to get some air. Ten minutes will be enough to give a little movement to the day.

Take advantage of meal time

A short walk after eating can not only be an efficient way to take advantage of free time, but it can also be very digestive. And it is that according to a study carried out by the University of Otago, in USA, ensures that doing so regulates blood sugar levels.

To enjoy the family it is not necessary to be at home, nor around a table. Taking a walk is a perfect alternative. Especially for children! And it is that they also spend many hours sitting at school. Therefore, going outside, going to the park or visiting a fun exhibition will not only strengthen your relationship but will also be healthy for everyone.

If you have a dog, spend a little more time

Both he and you will appreciate changing paths from time to time so as not to fall into monotony. Turn down another street, take him to the park or extend the exit for 10 more minutes. And if it is on the night walk, much better! This way you will arrive home relaxed, perfect for going to sleep.
