Walking 10000 steps a day is considered a benchmark for staying fit and healthy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an easy target to follow and can also motivate you to ditch the car and get moving, but sometimes it\u2019s not easy to hit that goal every day.<\/p>\n

But there are some clever ways to help you get your steps in.<\/p>\n

\"10,000<\/p>\n

Why 10000 steps?<\/h3>\n

In the 1960s in Japan, a researcher called Dr Yoshiro Hatano discovered that to remain at our optimum health we needed to be burning 20% of our calorie intake. Which on average, happened to be 10000 steps.<\/p>\n

Now The World Health Organisation recommends that people reach this goal each day to improve their health.<\/p>\n

10 of the easiest ways to get your 10000 steps in<\/h2>\n

1. Take the stairs<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t take the lift or escalator, opt for the stairs every time!<\/p>\n

2. Walk on the treadmill while you work<\/h3>\n

A treadmill at your desk or a standing desk can help you stay active and keep you moving.<\/p>\n

4. Walk to work<\/h3>\n

Depending on how far away your work is, you could easily get in over 1,000 steps by doing this every day.<\/p>\n

5. Park further away than you need to<\/h3>\n

The extra steps of walking to or from your car add up quickly.<\/p>\n

6. Take your calls while out for a stroll<\/h3>\n

Why not take your work calls outside? A 30-minute stroll is worth 1,800 steps!<\/p>\n

Nearly everyone gets a break around lunchtime to stop and eat. After you’ve eaten, take a quick walk around the block, even 10 minutes will make a difference and get your steps up.<\/p>\n

9. Play with your kids<\/h3>\n

Did you know that a simple game of hide-and-seek can help you get up to 1000 steps alone?!<\/p>\n
