I have been on a 10,000 steps program (offered by Kaiser) and I love it! https://members.kaiserpermanente.org/redirects/10000steps/10000steps.htm.
The program is designed to help you increase your physical activity level and work toward a goal of walking 10,000 steps each day. IT'S REALLY EASY, LADIES. As a part of the program, you get a pedometer to record your steps each day. And all it does is motivates you to get up and walk a little more each day...we do it already, while we are walking up and down, here and there, in and out of work, school, life etc.... Why not start tracking the steps?
When you sign up you can use the 10,000 Steps Web site to set personal goals, track daily steps, and monitor your progress online; maintain your motivation to stay physically active through daily e-mail tips that provide encouragement and support.
If you are a Kaiser member, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of this program. If you are not a Kaiser member, not to worry....you can still participate - just do the work, just the same. In any case, we all can add a little more to our physical activity, right?
Here's a Helpful Tip from the 10,000 Steps® Program (I received this morning)
Get Motivated: Stay motivated by focusing on the many benefits you’ve experienced by becoming more active. Look for new and exciting places to walk — check with your local park and recreation department, community education department or park district for a list of walking trails in your neighborhood. Team up with family or friends and enjoy the walk together. Remember to connect your own values to what you get from being more active. If you value family, remember that being more active brings benefits to them, as well — more energy and better health to support them. If you value your professional life, you remain more focused, sharper and productive the more active you are!
Staying motivated also depends on discovering what you get for your efforts. Be sure to remind yourself that it pays to be active and manage your weight!
