Americans gain an average of two pounds a year.¹ By increasing your step count daily you can combat this trend. “Walking an extra 2,000 steps — plus better eating habits — will prevent that weight gain,” says Jim Hill, a professor of Pediatric Health.¹

You don’t need any kind of membership, equipment, or special gear to begin making strides. It may not surprise you that obesity has become a public health crisis in America- approaching a 40% rate.² We eat too many calories and aren’t active enough to maintain a healthy balance. What’s to be done when we’re so busy with families, work, school, errands, etc.? 

The answer is easier than you may think: get walking! Slip on those sneakers and take the stairs, stroll during lunch, and park farther away. For an added benefit, try cutting out 100 calories per day.
