I went from walking 5,000 steps a day to 10,000 with one simple change to my daily routine

Anna walking 10,000 steps a day on a walking pad while working and watching TV.

Like many, I’ve always tried to hit the ubiquitous goal of walking 10,000 steps a day, but my success is generally seasonal. In the summer months, going for long walks at lunchtime and after work is a joy, but in winter, it's a chore.
