## Put it into practice

Add a short walk after work or get off one stop early if the route is safe. After a week, consider whether it fits your day.

## Things to keep in mind

Phones and watches provide estimates. Do not ignore rest or pain just to complete an app's activity ring.

## Your next step

- Choose a safe route
- Add a small walk
- Compare with your own starting point
