3 ways to achieve fitness goals while delivering newspapers

1. Track your steps: Use a fitness tracker, fitbit or your phone to track your steps while delivering newspapers. Setting a daily step goal can turn your delivery job into a fun fitness challenge. You'll be amazed at how many steps you can make in one route! Check out our blog post on how to achieve your daily step goals without the gym.

2. Add interval training: Turn your delivery lap into an interval training session. Alternate between brisk walking and jogging as you move between houses. Not only will this speed up your delivery runs, but you'll also get a great cardio workout.

3. Strength training: Use the weight of your newspaper bundles for a little strength training. Carefully lift your newspaper bundles to put your muscles to work and use good posture to protect your back or make a squat in front of each house before throwing the newspaper in the mailbox. This way you will not only make for an interesting newspaper delivery, but you will build strength and endurance over time, making your deliveries easier and more efficient.
