It’s very easy to look at your watch before you dry your hair and after and then decide. |
I work a hybrid schedule and walk a ton more on my WFH days. I walk my dog when I’d normally be commuting and eating lunch - so that’s 2.5 hours more walking than when I have to go in. |
I average about 13-14k, but it's not evenly distributed. Sunday long run plus errands always has the day around 30k steps, Monday is rest day and I'm a slug, then during the week it ranges from 8-20k depending on my run distance that day plus the ratio of errands to sitting at my desk. |
No idea - I sit or stand at my desk most of the day and then ride about 22 miles on the Peloton.
At the height of summer I might add a walk after I work, exercise, shower and eat dinner, but currently it's dark by the time I finish. Hopefully the time on the bike at least balances out the desk job. |
20k on the days I run, 15k on the days I don't. Generally more when I travel. Occasionally on a non-run telework day I only get 12k and I hate it, but I try to give myself some grace. |
3.5 miles per day is average for me. I walk my dog and run most errands by foot. Shops are close by so it’s not that much distance-wise. |
I use the number on my iPhone. Is that usually pretty accurate? |
I’ve averaged 11,000 steps a day in 2024 per my Apple Watch. It’s pretty variable, my low this week was 3300 and my high was 15,600. I have to be very intentional about it, I try to walk at lunch time, get up for a few minutes every hour when I’m working and do walk/runs for exercise. I’m in my 50s and I find the biggest challenge is on days with lots of steps my feet really hurt! |
About 4k when I work from home, and that includes 3 dog walks, but she is old and lazy.
10k when I commute |
My phone is usually far behind my watch, but I don’t take it everywhere I go. When I walk on my treadmill I put the phone down. If your conscious about bringing it with you everywhere, then yes it’s surprisingly accurate. |
Wow! I aim for at least 5k a day. On days I run I hit this easily - run 4-6 then also try to walk 2-3 more miles. On the days I don’t run i do a lot of Pilates and also try to get to 5k but sometimes don’t. I feel so much better when I do get at least 5k. |
I meant to say I am aim for 10k steps. |
I made a goal to hit 10k a day in January - most days I easily beat that. I work in an elementary school so walk a lot at work and also walk our dog. Sometimes I also walk laps around the house, which makes my kids laugh but I feel better on days when I get more walking in. |
12k steps a day. 45 min lunch walk, 20 min after dinner stroll, normal running around with young kids |
Yes, but 20k steps is 9 or 10 miles, that’s a lot of time |
