One of the major things I’ve realized since I started working from home this month is that I have to work way harder to hit my step goal. Honestly, I’ve only hit it a few days a week since the change. Before I was working on my feet for 7 hours a day so 10,000+ steps a day (my step goal is set at 11,500) was a piece of CAKE. Now I look at my Fitbit in the evening and cringe at the fact that I only have 2k steps😳
I’ve started to make more of an effort this last week to hit my step goal every day. Spoiler alert: I’m definitely still having days where I don’t hit it but I’m working on it!
Get paid to walk?!
One of the things motivating me right now is that I need money. Don’t we all? I signed up with the website MyAchievement.com quite a while ago and use to check it religiously but didn’t for a while. Now that I’ve started checking it again I’m super motivated to hit and go above my goals!
MyAchievement is a website/app that pays you to do things like walk, drink water, track your food, track your heart rate, etc. I have my Fitbit connected so as I walk and track my water intake and all that, I get points. When you have 10,000 points you can cash out for $10. Luckily, once your tracker is connected, it will keep tracking whether you keep checking back or not. Don’t worry if you don’t have a Fitbit, they are also compatible with other trackers! So all that time when I wasn’t checking the website for my progress? Yeah, I was still racking up points.

More steps = More points = More money!
- Every 10-15 minutes get up and walk a lap around your home/work space.
- Walk your dog(or your neighbor’s dog)
- Jump on a trampoline(Mini or regular)
- Dance Party
- Pace. Okay, this one might sound weird but I have a habit of just pacing around my basement while listening to music.
- Run or walk (treadmill, outside, elliptical, etc.)
- Walk up and down each aisle of the grocery store, even if you don’t need anything in that aisle.
- Step in place while brushing your teeth, looking through the pantry, watching tv, etc.
- Stay hydrated aka continue to fill up your water cup/bottle throughout the day. Walking to and from the water will get you steps and tracking your water as you drink it will get you points. (Note: You only get 6 points for water per day no matter how many times you track it)
- Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk in.
One more thing…
If you shop at Walgreens they also have a fitness rewards program! You can connect your Fitbit or other tracking device to your account on their website and earn up to I think it’s 1,000 points a month. Super helpful!
Now get stepping and make yourself some extra cash😉
