It’s nearly time for our 3rd Pedometer Challenge…927 of us are gearing up to put on the trainers and ditch the car for 4 weeks.   One of the easiest ways to increase your daily steps is to think about any car journeys you do at home for which you could walk instead.  Popping to the local shops or garage for that pint of milk; collecting the kids from school; going to the pub or to collect the takeaway; or simply park further away from the cafe/shop door!!

Also see how you can add more steps into your day to day life.  Walk around when you are on your mobile phone – texting or calling.  Go upstairs to get your partners slippers when they have forgotten them; put the TV remote next to the TV so you have to walk to the TV to turn it on; hoover twice a week instead of once; offer to make that cup of tea in the kitchen and move off the sofa…

All these small changes will make a difference and start to improve your health.  So good luck with the steps next week and we look forward to reporting our first week’s results as team CEMEX UK!
