to Getting Started
Step
One: Get
A Step Counter
A step counter
(pedometer) is a small, battery-operated device that clips to your
waist and counts the steps you take. Just push a button to reset
your counter to zero. Then clip the counter to your waist and go!
Step Counter Tips
Clip it
on
Wear your step counter on the waistband of your pants, skirt, or
belt. Line it up above your knee. The step counter can also clip
to undergarments.
Keep it
snug and closed
Make sure that the step counter is straight and snug on your body,
and that the cover is closed. It won’t count steps properly when
the cover is open.
Test your
counter
Clip on your step counter and walk 100 steps. Your step counter
should register between 90 and 110 steps. If your display shows
a different number, readjust the position of your step counter and
check it again with another 100 steps.
Log your
numbers
Record your steps in your daily log when you go to bed.
Make it
a habit
Reset your step counter the next morning by pressing the yellow
reset button, and start your next day of stepping!
Stay Dry
Remember to take your step counter off in the shower or pool, since
the case isn’t waterproof.

Step
Two: Find
Your Baseline
Your baseline
is the number of steps you usually walk each day.
To establish
your baseline, wear your step counter for one full week. There’s
no need to change your regular routine this week.
At the
beginning of each day
Reset your
step counter by pressing the reset button. Remember to keep your
routine the same for now.
At the
end of each day
Record the
number of steps displayed on your step counter.
At the
end of seven days
Add your
total steps for each day and divide the sum by seven. Now you’ve
got your baseline number, and you’re ready to set your personal
step goals!
Step
Three:
Set Your Personal Goal
Congratulations
on finding your baseline number! In just one week, you’ve started
to establish your step counter habit and you’ve determined your
unique starting point for your Colorado On the Move program. Now,
you’re ready for the best part – setting your personal step goal.
Recommended
Goal
To set your
goal, take your baseline number and simply add 2000 steps to it
For example, if your baseline number is 4500 per day, use 6500 as
your step goal. Adding 2000 steps may sound like a lot, but it should
only take 15-20 minutes over the course of your day. Try it and
see!
Don’t be
frustrated if you have trouble reaching 2000 steps. You can also
increase your steps by percentage. For instance, if you’re currently
walking 3000 steps per day, an increase of 20% will mean 3600 steps.
As adding steps becomes easier, simply increase your percentage.
Most people find they can reach 10,000 steps per day within a few
weeks of starting the program.
Increasing
Your Steps
You’ll be
surprised how easy it is to add steps to your regular daily routine.
Just do what you already do, but add steps too. Click
here for ideas!
Once You
Reach Your Goal
When you
reach your goal, reward yourself! It’s great to celebrate your accomplishment
with step-counting friends. Then, set a new goal. If you added 2000
steps to your daily routine, add another 2000. If you increased
your steps by 20%, and you’re feeling good, try adding another 20%.
Now that you know how easy it is to add steps, there’s no stopping
you!
Step Alternatives
If you are
physically unable to walk, or you engage in other physical activity,
give yourself step credit! Measure your alternate activity “steps”
by using our step conversion chart.
Are You
Athletic?
Do you already
exercise or work out regularly? Great! There are already many athletes
participating in the 10,000 Steps Program. Try adding more steps
to non-workout activities, and try encouraging someone new to the
program by keeping them company on walks. Be an inspiration!
