Around this time last year, I decided to set myself the goal of walking 10,000 steps every day. It sounds like a lot and it felt like a lot at first, but having stuck to it almost every day since, I've found that it's well worth getting your steps in.
There are plenty of well-established benefits of walking—it can aid weight loss and weight management, as well as improving your overall cardiovascular health—but one of the unexpected benefits of increasing my step count is that my sleep has dramatically improved.
