How to take ten thousand steps a day? And why exactly ten thousand? Ten thousand steps a day, wanting to simplify, is the minimum quantity of steps to be able to carry out a light activity that promotes weight loss, and that reduces health risks, especially cardiovascular ones. Lots of people write to me asking for advice on how to lose weight, but when I tell them to do some activity, they tell me they don’t have time.
Big mistake: time must be found, first of all, perhaps by carving it out a little here and a little there, it doesn’t have to be continuous time . And if we don’t have time to go to the gym, dieting to see the weight drop won’t help us stay in shape all the time. The business yes.And walking is a good way to keep fit if we are not attracted to physical activity at all. 
But how to do it? First of all, if you don’t want to buy yourself a pedometer, let’s quantify these ten thousand steps differently: it corresponds to about 2 hours of walking at a fast pace (the faster the pace the better of course), and without interruptions since we start walking. For example, if we decide to walk 15 minutes in the morning and then do the rest of the two hours at other times of the day, that’s okay, but we can’t stop and admire the shop windows on the street.

Here are some tips from a mom who wants to keep fit, Fit Mommy Diaries blogger .

HOW TO TAKE TEN THOUSAND STEPS A DAY?
1) Park further away (or get off two stops before the bus, one metro stop): yes, you get it. Walk for a while to get to the office. At least ten minutes on the way out and ten on the way back. Will you be late? But no, do you remember the story of the quick step?
2) Use the lunch break: the lunch break, if it exceeds one hour, can be used for walking. First, it is a great way to relieve stress from work, second, it allows you not to linger too much on food. Even if you have an hour available, set aside 15 minutes to eat, 30 to walk and 15 to relax. But don’t you take your work break or do you take it at your desk? Big mistake. So you tend to get fat.
