It is time to take the average daily steps from last week and ADD 20% to it. For example, if your goal this week was 5,000 steps a day and you found that you stepped on average 6,400 steps a day, add 20% to 6,400 = 7,680 is your new daily step goal this week.

Average Steps Last Week: _______+ 20% = ________________New Daily Step Goal

If you found that you had a hard time meeting your new goal last week, do not use the same goal this week. Instead, let’s figure out how to get you moving more this week!

1. Schedule in 2-3 ten minutes walks each day (this may be during your break time at work or at lunch and when you return home).
2. Set a reminder to get up from your desk every hour for five minutes.
3. Use your pedometer as motivation across the day – check your progress across the day. If you see that by 11AM you have only walked 1,000 steps, this is a great motivator to go for a walk at lunch!
