Caro, I don't have a car, so that probably helps me out getting steps right there. I walk to the bus stop, then rather than just standing there waiting for the bus, I walk up and down the sidewalk a bit. I walk from the bus stop to work, and I use some of the same tricks that Dancingj2 uses, pushing to the next thousand when I see I am close. I usually walk around the office while eating lunch (people have mostly stopped giving me weird looks, lol). I walk around the house while waiting for my tea to steep. And I got some Leslie Sansone walking DVDs so that even if I don't want to walk outside, I can walk inside. I march in place or do sidesteps, etc. while watching movies and so on and so forth. I tend to do a few minutes of walking every hour or two instead of sitting down and not moving through a two-hour movie. Oh, and I walk while talking on the phone! A forty-minute conversation with my mother now gives me about 4000 steps instead of forty minutes of sitting in an armchair (and I don't even notice the time passing). I find that the little stuff really adds up throughout the day, and my Fitbit has just made me a lot more conscious of when I'm not moving.0 -

My tricks for getting more steps
I go to bed early instead of "relaxing" in the evening watching TV or messing about on the computer, then I can get up extra early and take a long walk before I have to shower and dress for my daily events......walking while talking on the phone, walking while waiting for anything rather than sitting.....always be on the lookout for an opportunity to be moving.

Since October I've averaged 13,601 a day.
My goal this month is to see 15,000 as many days as possible.
Some tips...
1- park at the far end of the parking lot
2- take the stairs when possible
3- park at the opposite end of the mall than the store you're going to
4- in the office, take a lap around the office each time you go to the toilet
5- walk while doing other things....I walk and read a lot
6- use 'map my fitness' app for walks as you get a visual of where you've gone....it motivates me0 -
5- walk while doing other things....I walk and read a lot
I try to walk or march in place when I do lots of things such as talk on the phone. When I am scanning a magazine I can march but if I am reading a novel everything else stops and I am lost in the book.0 -

We have houseguests......yesterday afternoon, I said, "Let's go for a walk" and we walked around the neighborhood for more than 90 minutes.
