HOW TO
Smash your daily steps goal
Getting fit doesn’t have to revolve around evenings doing circuit training or cold mornings trying to squeeze in a lengthy run. Small changes to your daily activity levels – such as increasing how much you walk – can make a big difference.
By walking more – at a brisk pace if you can manage it – you burn additional calories and gain important health benefits. Alongside a balanced diet, that can help you lose weight and improve your overall fitness. And apps can help make that extra movement more manageable.
Understand what your steps goal should be
Seeing you’ve walked 8,431 steps on any given day is one thing. Knowing what that actually equates to is another matter entirely. With Movesum you can see what each and every one of those steps means in relation to the food and drink you’ve been enjoying.
This allows you to better position your steps goal based on your lifestyle. And with the app letting you set your own steps target, you can balance your walking output to your nutritional input.
Incentivise your steps
We all like to be rewarded. By offering plenty of encouragement, Pedometer++’s proactive approach to step tracking can help you overcome dwindling motivation and depleted energy levels.
Once you’ve set your daily steps target, the app will count your footfall before offering plenty of motivation-boosting unlockable achievements.
Whether it’s achieving a new daily steps high or a new lifetime steps milestone, Pedometer++’s awards and achievements act as enough of an incentive to help get you over the line, day after day.
Keep on moving
Hit your newly-appointed step goal once and you’ll feel a sense of achievement. Hit it five days straight and you’ll feel like an invincible master of fitness. Miss just one day, however, and it’s all too easy to fall out of your new regime. Thankfully, Streaks can act as a much needed motivator.
Once you’ve set your daily target – be it number of steps or distance covered – hit your goal and you’ll add a day to your streak. Miss a day and you’re back to the start. It’s an app that brings out your inner competitor, and one that will quickly have you strive for a new long streak best.
