The University of Kansas Medical Center is touting the Journal of American Medicine’s recommendation to take 10,000 steps a day. According to JAMA, start doing this and you could live longer, keep cancer and cardiovascular disease at bay, lower your risk of dementia, and reap endless other benefits. “If exercise were a pill, we’d all be clamoring for a prescription,” said Russell Swerdlow, M.D., of the KU Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (KU ADRC).
Does the number of steps you’re asked to take each day sound daunting? That’s why you need a game plan. Start with 1,000 steps and keep increasing the number. Invest in a cell phone or watch designed to measure the number of steps you take, remembering that “The average adult in the U.S. gets between 2,000 to 4,000 steps per day doing their normal lifestyle activities,” adds John M. Jakicic, Ph.D., a KU research professor.
Importantly, kick off your effort during a getaway for this important reason: It can be equally daunting to launch this kind of effort when your life is already a non-stop whirlwind. Where to launch what can become a habit? How about a fabulous resort in Belize where you’ll be enveloped by beauty with every step, and where you can focus on your commitment to improve every aspect of your life?
