Consistency beats perfection, hands down! Whether it’s your step count, or something else, it’s not about those crazy highs it’s about steady consistency. If you find yourself reaching 10 000 steps three days per week but then on the rest of the days it lingers in the few thousands, concentrate on the regularity rather than the high numbers. Set yourself a realistic goal. Look at your average daily step count for the past month (your Health app gives a very good idea even if you’re not wearing a smart watch) and add a couple of thousand to that number as your first goal. Start walking it every day. It doesn’t matter if you’ve done an exercise class that day, don’t let that affect your step count.
And remember you don’t need to fit in one long walk if your schedule doesn’t allow it. Get your steps in in small increments throughout your day. This is, in fact, beneficial for your metabolic health anyway!
We were NOT meant for this sedentary lifestyle of ours... our bodies are designed to move. If you want to thrive in midlife and beyond, movement is the way!
