- Take the long way to class – Leave enough time for you to take the long way. You don’t want to be late to class because you were getting steps for your Fitbit.
- Don’t take the elevator – by taking the stairs you are bound to get 100 more steps than you would if you took the elevator.
- Take a walk – looking for a way to procrastinate a big paper? Take a walk around campus. Chances are you will find a creative idea for your paper.
- Find a trail – Hueston Woods in Oxford has plenty of great trails. Plus, it’s gorgeous!
- Make a competition with your friends – Fitbit has an option to start a “Workweek Hustle”. You can invite your friends and see who gets the most step during the week.
- Say no to rides – Unless the place is far away, take a car. But, if you are just headed Uptown to grab some ice cream with friends, WALK!
- Get bored while walking? RUN! – Running will make the time go by faster and you will get just as much steps.
- Don’t like to run and still get bored walking? Bring something to do! – Music is always a good idea. Make a playlist that will keep your interest. Or, bring index cards so you can be productive on your walk!
- Get outside! – See where the day takes you.
