The Power of Regular Steps!

The Power of Regular Steps!

We've got a simple but critical fitness tip... BEING ACTIVE!
You're told you need to hit 8-10k steps a day to be active, but has anyone ever told you the why?
It's crucial to your success and we know how you can easily integrate it into your daily routine! 

Why Regular Steps Matter

It's all about blood sugar regulation.
When we keep ourselves moving, we help to maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
Which in return, helps regulate appetite, which in return helps make sure you are not storing fat, which in return reduces your cravings!
Say bye bye hunger monster 👹!
But there's more to it than just keeping hunger in check.
Regular steps can fight fat storage...
Eating and then going right back to our desks for 2-4 hours turns us all into little fat hoarders.
By doing that you leave your brain as the only thing active.
And your brain uses sugar for energy!
Now you can see where your craving for sugary foods starts.
Which is perfect if you want to gain fat.
Instead, give your body a chance to burn off those calories rather than store them.
This is why a quick walk, even just five minutes, is like hitting the refresh button.
It's time to get those feet moving and say adios to the desk-chair tango!

Easy Ways To Get More Steps into Your Day

Morning Walk: Start your day with a brisk 20-minute walk after your breakfast (breakfast burrito)

Post-Lunch Energizer: Follow up your lunch (Mile High BBQ) with a quick 10-minute stroll.

After Dinner Trek: Cap off your evening meal (Pork Bolognese) with a nice 15-30 minute walk to aid digestion and unwind from the day.

Any Time At Work: Live by the 90-minute rule. When you've been sitting for more than 90 minutes, take a 5-minute fit snack and walk baby!
