Stepping Up: How to Hit 10,000 Steps Daily While Working From Home


For women in their 30s and 40s juggling remote work and personal well-being can be a challenge to say the least! In the world of remote work, the struggle to stay active is real. Your daily commute has transformed into a stroll from the bedroom to your home office, making it challenging to hit that 10,000-step goal. But fear not! Here are some easy and fun strategies to infuse your day with movement without compromising your work.


Start Your Day with a Morning Walk: Begin your day with a brisk walk around your neighborhood. This not only helps you accumulate steps but also kickstarts your metabolism and boosts your mood.

Utilize Breaks Wisely: Break your workday into segments and take short walking breaks. Stroll around your house, step outside for fresh air, or simply march in place. These breaks can rejuvenate your mind and keep you focused.

Embrace Walking Meetings: Turn audio calls into an opportunity to pace around your room or walk in your backyard. It’s a multitasking win!

Invest in a Treadmill Desk: If feasible, consider a treadmill desk. It allows you to walk at a slow pace while working, making it easier to achieve your step goals.

Engage in Family Walks: After work, involve your family or friends in an evening walk. It's a wonderful way to bond and share your day while getting those steps in. Opt for Active Entertainment: Instead of sitting down to watch TV, march in place or use a step platform during your favorite shows.


Set Timely Reminders: Set alarms or use fitness apps to remind you to stand up and walk around every hour.

Celebrate Small Wins: Lastly, celebrate your progress, no matter how small. Consistency is key, and every step counts towards a healthier you!
