\nGet a real pedometer, says UNMC PR’s Dawn Nevarez.<\/span>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

  • Get a real pedometer — don’t use your phone. Unless you have it hanging around your neck, you’ll miss hundreds, maybe thousands of steps.
    \n
  • Put your pedometer on the minute you step out of bed. I average 1,500 steps before I walk out the door in the morning.
    \n
  • You’ll be amazed how many steps you get while cooking dinner and cleaning up. Where is your phone while you’re cooking? On the counter missing all those steps.
    \n
  • Take the stairs. But if you must take an elevator — walk around while you wait. You can get more than 100 steps while you wait!<\/UL><\/p>\n

    So do you have any tips on how to get more steps? Comment on this story and share them with us!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
