STEPPI Tips and Tricks

Incorporate Walking Meetings:
Opt for walking meetings or phone calls whenever possible. This simple change can significantly increase your daily step count.

Use the Stairs:
Choose stairs over elevators or escalators. Climbing stairs is an effective way to boost your activity level and improve cardiovascular health.

Take Short Walks:
Break up long periods of sitting with short walks. Aim for a 5-minute walk every hour to keep your body active and energized.

Park Further Away:
When driving, park farther from your destination to add extra steps to your day. This small adjustment can make a big difference over time.

Use a Pedometer:
Wear a pedometer or use a fitness tracker to monitor your steps. Setting step goals and tracking your progress can help motivate you to stay active.

Join a Walking Group:
Connect with colleagues or friends for walking groups or step challenges. Social support can make walking more enjoyable and motivating.

Make Walking Fun:
Listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks while walking to make it a more enjoyable activity and keep yourself engaged.

By utilizing these resources and tips, participants can stay motivated and incorporate more movement into their daily routines, contributing to their overall health and success in the challenge.
