CALS Wellness Committee tip: 10 ways to increase your steps in the next month
From Nicole Vegel, Campus Chief Employee Wellness Leader:
- Go for a walk – Plain and simple!
- Walk inside – Bad weather? Try walking around your house or worksite.
- Walk and talk – Don’t just talk on the phone, walk and talk on the phone!
- Get up once an hour at work – Set an alarm on your phone/computer and stand up/walk around every hour.
- Play with the kids in the backyard – It literally makes their day!
- Take the furthest parking spot – You’d be surprised at how many steps add up with simple changes.
- Take the stairs – Great leg/glute workout, also.
- Walk your dog – Good for both of you!
- Go on a hike – Take advantage of the beautiful Wisconsin Parks!
- Go golfing – Bonus if you don’t get a cart!
