31 Ways To Reach Your Daily Step Goal
Ironman.today

So you treated yourself to a Fitbit in an attempt to achieve that summer bod (although you haven’t stepped foot on a treadmill, or the gym in general in… three… months). But, you promise yourself that you’re turning over a new leaf. Come to find out, getting in shape is all fun and games until you actually have to put in the effort. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Here are some (easy) ways to get that 10,000 step goal!

  1. Take your dog for a walk
  2. Take the stairs instead of the elevator
  3. Walk around your house while watching TV
  4. Play “Just Dance”
  5. Walk around Target (because we all spend hours in there)
  6. Make small trips while carrying in the groceries so you have to go back and forth five times
  7. Run away from the bee buzzing around your head
  8. Get the mail
  9. Enter the Workweek Hustle Challenge
  10. Pretend your basement is a nightclub and dance the night away
  11. Move your arm as if you’re walking (but really you’re sitting on the couch)
  12. Put the activity tracker on your dog
  13. Go on a shopping spree
  14. Walk to get ice cream
  15. Frantically run in place at 11:50 pm in an effort to reach your goal
  16. Do a “fashion show” of your entire wardrobe
  17. Pace around the room while anxiously awaiting a text from your boyfriend
  18. Park far away from the store entrance
  19. Clean the house (my mom suggested this one…)
  20. Get up and moving once an hour
  21. Go biking with your tracker on your ankle
  22. Tap your foot nonstop while sitting down
  23. Play the piano
  24. Clap
  25. Over exaggerate your arm expressions when talking
  26. Change your setting to “Non-Dominant” but actually wear it on your dominant hand
  27. Pace while talking on the phone
  28. Pace while doing homework
  29. Basically never sit down ever again
  30. Actually work out?
  31. Lower your step goal

Bonus: some of these tips also double as Fitbit hacks. Yeah, it’s cheating, but at least you’re hitting that goal, right!?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
