[quote=Anonymous]DH and I both WFH and our jobs are fairly demanding in terms of hours required. Here are some scenarios that have happened to at least one of us in the last 4 years across several employers:
1. Flexible start time + walk before or after work.
2. Walk during lunch. 
3. Had to get on early morning and late evening calls, so take the "overtime" out of the middle of the day.
4. Already billed allowable hours for the day or week and can't bill more until tomorrow. 
5. Employer gives X hours a week for physical activity (common in military). 
6. Employer doesn't care where you are between scheduled meetings.
7. Employer closed early, either on purpose or due to IT mishap. 
8. Can listen to a call or training while walking. 
9. Took day off for other reason, was able to squeeze in a walk.

And that's just for people who are employed in regular full-time situations -- a lot of "working age" people in this area SAH or work part time / flexible gigs. I know several people in healthcare who cobble together contractor positions so they can work the hours they want to. To say nothing of pre-school teachers, therapists, and the self-employed.
