Steps - a guide to more steps

 

How many steps we walk in a day has become a “thing”. In fact, offices are having contests and worker-participants are the subject of negative gossip if they aren’t keeping up their promises. Here are some suggestions to increase your step production.

People with watches get more steps but I’m unaware of an Apple Rolex

Going through airport lose steps while phone is going through screening

Be sure your phone is on your person when on the treadmill and elliptical or you won’t get credit for steps

You get credit for doing bicycle kicks but not crunches

Always carry phone with you in the house or office. Put in back pocket but don’t forget it’s there when going to the restroom.

Take phone with you while walking in your sleep

You may get steps while marching in place sitting down

Actually the app also tracks stairs climbed. But I have figured out that you only get credit for going up stairs and not going down, which I think is unfair and I have complained to Apple.

If you take advantage of all these suggestions, and you still don’t meet your goal, there is a way to add steps without moving your feet. I leave it to you to figure it out.
