What's the quickest way to reach 10,000
If I want to make sure I get 10,000 steps before bed, what is the fastest way to do this? I know I have to move, but does walking quicker or running lead to more steps at a faster rate than just strolling around?Tags: None

The efforts you make to get them matter to how many calories you burn. For instance, you're going to burn more calories walking at a brisk pace than you are at a stroll, even though these will equal the same amount of steps. Getting 10,000 steps doesn't mean that you're burning the same calories all the time. It's still important to get them, but remember that you really need to elevate your heart rate to burn fat.

Other ideas include: parking farther away so you have to walk for longer. Taking a bike, walking or jogging to the store, work, school, etc. (whenever it's reasonable and possible). Walking up and down the stairs in your house several times a day. walking on a treadmill as you watch your favorite show or marching on the spot if you don't have one of these machines. The key is to move. Try not to get hung up on reaching 10,000 as much as make an effort to move your body throughout the day.

Walking. If you walk for an hour a day (even 30 minutes in the morning and 30 in the evening) this should help you reach 10,000 especially combined with other steps you take around your home and regularly throughout the day. It's really not hard you just have to move.
