"My favorite way to get my steps in is to
hike on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. If
I'm home, though, I mow the lawn, walk the
dog, and just make sure to get up from my
desk to walk 300 steps every hour."
- ERIC O., VIRGINIA
"I mall walk. It's great to window shop and
get some exercise at the same time!"
- MARIANNE S., NEW JERSEY
"Usually, a normal day at school gets the
job done."
- KELLEN C., TEXAS
"I always take the stairs instead of the
elevator. And when I'm short a few steps, I
walk my golden retriever around the block
twice instead of once."
- SYDNEY B., OHIO
"I'll take short breaks at work and walk
upstairs to chat with a few coworkers
on the third floor. Also, I don't shop in
bulk, so I walk to the grocery store and
restaurants regularly."
- RYAN S., RHODE ISLAND
"I'm always on my feet chasing my
2-year-old son around all day. I also like to
run, so I try to go for a run at least four or
five times a week."
- MORGAN K., ARIZONA
"I don't like sitting down all day, so I have
a treadmill desk in my o"ce. I love being
able to get my steps in while I work."
- WILL U., TENNESSEE
"I recently found a 1980s dance workout
DVD at a thrift shop. My boyfriend and I
have really been enjoying it lately!"
- AMELIA E., COLORADO
