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.
As someone who works a desk-based job, during the colder months, I increasingly find my step count gets lower as the nights get longer. And while I invested in one of the best walking pads a few years ago, I've found myself using it sporadically rather than making it part of my daily routine.
