Set a Goal for Your Pedometer


We all know that wearing a pedometer can help you to be more active. But new research shows that if you set a specific goal and track your progress step-by-step, you can maximize your results. That means, lowering your blood pressure and your BMI. Part of the key to that success is to set goals that are manageable for you. Try setting a goal of say, 3,000 steps a day. If you can’t do that, aim for 2,000 a day to start, then after a week, raise that goal by another 1,000 steps. Keep building until you get to 10,000 steps a day!
