We all know walking more is a great way to improve health and drop fat.

But most of us walk only about half the steps needed to minimize all-cause mortality.

Here's an easy way to gamify walking that has consistently worked for our clients:

First, check your phone's step count from yesterday. (You'll find it in the Apple Health app on iPhone, or in the Google Fit app on Android.)
Today, your goal is simple: walk at least one more step than yesterday.(E.g., if you walked 4,319 steps yesterday, you're gunning for at least 4,320 today.)
Then try to inch the number up further tomorrow. And again the day after.
If you fall short, no worries! Just start the process afresh the following day, trying to beat the new lower number. (E.g., if you're aiming for 12,245+ steps today, but only clock 6,312, tomorrow you're just looking to hit 6,313+.)

The only real rule: don't miss two days in a row.

Extremely simple.

But our experience shows, it really works.
