10,000 Steps Blueprint - The Daily Walking Habit for Healthy Weight Loss and Lifelong Fitness - S.J. Scott
Introduction
We’d all like to improve our level of fitness or even lose a little weight. The problem is, it’s not easy to achieve these goals without resorting to gimmicky
exercise routines. What often happens is we’ll follow the latest fad and then quit when we get busy with other obligations.
The problem with most fad programs is that they don’t follow the rules of habit development.
Really, the only way to stick to a new routine is to incorporate it into your life to the point where the activity becomes second nature. To make this happen, you need to follow an exercise program that is both enjoyable and easy to do on a consistent basis.
One of the healthiest things you can do every day is to form the 10,000 steps walking habit.
With the 10,000 steps habit, you follow a simple system that can be easily added to any daily routine. Instead of following a grueling program, you’ll make small changes that dramatically improve your overall well-being. Done correctly, this habit can help you:
** Lose weight in a healthy fashion.
** Avoid fad exercise programs that are impossible to maintain.
** Join your friends in a fun activity.
** Improve your romantic relationship by sharing an enjoyable experience.
** Get outdoors and connect with nature.
** Relieve stress and tension throughout the day.
The walking daily habit is one of the most important routines you could ever develop. In this book 10,000 Steps Blueprint you’ll discover a simple plan for developing this habit. Plus, you’ll get a number of tips to maximize results without wasting too much of your personal time.
Why 10,000 Steps?
I’ll admit that 10,000 steps might seem like an arbitrary number. Why not 12,000 steps or 8,000 steps? Why do most fitness experts recommend 10,000 steps as the golden number to achieve?
Here are three reasons why I recommend this specific milestone:
Reason #1: Step walking is based on metrics.
Instead of telling you to walk more,
it’s been proven that people improve a habit when they have a specific goal to hit every day.
Ten thousand steps is a number that is both doable and challenging. It’s a longer distance than an average person walks in a single day, but it’s also a number that anyone can reach if they learn how to budget their time. Basically, it’s the perfect balance between achievable and challenging.
What I like best about 10,000 steps is it’s a binary proposition. You either do it or you don’t. You can’t fudge the numbers or lie to yourself about this goal. At the end of every day, you’ll know if this habit was either successfully or unsuccessfully completed.
Reason #2: Step walking is adaptable.
We all do some form of walking every day. It doesn’t require a gym membership, a fancy exercise program or pricey supplements. You don’t even need a large amount of effort to do it.
Mostly you’ll need persistence to get out there every day and aim for an average of 10,000 steps. Besides that, the only other things you’ll need are a decent pair of shoes and a pedometer to measure the distance you’ve walked.
Step walking is great for anyone who cares about their fitness. I am a marathon runner, but I find this activity augments my fitness routine. It’s also a great way to develop the fitness habit
for anyone who has been completely sedentary for awhile. As long as you can walk, you can get the benefits of this routine.
Reason #3: Step walking is easy to do.
The best thing about step walking is its simplicity. You can walk for one focused block or you can chunk it down into smaller blocks throughout the day.
For instance, the semi-sedentary person typically walks 2,000 to 4,000 steps a day. However, if this same individual walks for a few minutes every hour, he or she can easily add thousands of steps to their daily total. All they have to do is look for opportunities to do more walking.
You’ll find that step walking works best when it becomes part of your lifestyle. It’s not a here today, gone tomorrow
fad. It’s not a temporary fix. Done correctly, it’s a permanent change that can be a cornerstone of a healthier, fitter and happier existence.
Who Am I?
Before we get started, I think it’s important to introduce myself and demonstrate my qualifications to write a book on step walking.
My name is S.J. Scott. I run the blog Develop Good Habits.
The goal of my site is to show how continuous habit development can lead to a better life. Instead of lecturing you, I provide simple strategies that can be easily added to any busy life. It’s been my experience that the best way to make a lasting change is to develop a single quality habit at a time.
As I mentioned before, I love running. It’s a habit I’ve followed for over
