If daily demands make it difficult to add enough steps, consider investing in a home treadmill. A treadmill in front of the TV can make the goal an easy one to reach, all while enjoying the latest episode of "Desperate Housewives." One treadmill, the Life Fitness T7-0, even comes with a 10,000 steps tracking program, so users can focus on the Housewives' shenanigans while the machine calculates the number of steps you need to reach 10,000, based on your estimate for how many steps you've already taken, or will take, that day.
Aiming for 10,000 steps per day can bring unexpected benefits. Adding a short walk at lunchtime will accrue steps and some fresh air, which can lead to a better night's sleep. Leaving the car behind to run errands on foot can make that very expensive tank of gas last longer. Best of all, walking is a terrific stress management tool, and with a clear mind it will be a snap to remember all those other vital numbers you need every day.
Walking 10,000 steps a day may be easier than you think.
