Accumulate Steps Over Time Trumps the Daily Grind
Every year, or quarter, I used to come up with new goals around how much I’d walk or run. From setting 10,000 steps as daily goal and crossing them off on a calendar to using a shiny new fitness watch and increasing steps over time, I’ve done it all!
At one point, I was walking 25k steps per day! Up in the morning, walk like a mad woman, take a quick walk during lunch, and come back at it in the evening.
If I set a goal, I achieve it!
However, life always happens, and something comes up. At some point, the goal or streak is interrupted. For good or bad reasons. It could be a week or six months. It doesn’t matter.
Once it is disrupted, I’m done. I stop walking, running, or writing. You can do streaks with everything!
Since the beginning of the year, I have found a better way.
Something I’ve now stuck with since the beginning of January. It is a better way. A healthier way.
The Myth and Lore of the Daily Streak
Why do so many of us actually want to walk or run 10,000 steps a day? Where does it come from?
