WFH

I walk the dog at six a.m.

Putter around during the day

I take another long walk (2 miles, takes about 30 minutes) right before I make dinner.

usually hit between 10-12k a day.

I'm super obese, otherwise people would think walking three hours a day is too much. But because I'm fat people just shrug and think I should walk more.

Eff people. I’m proud of you!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who struggles to get there. I don't have many breaks, but I make it a point to walk about 20-30 minutes during lunch, sometimes while eating. I park at a distance from where I'm going. I go to the first away bathroom from my desk. I can't find many opportunities to add steps. On weekends I'm plenty active and walk and hike.

I work from home and get in 10k steps a day. I go for a 15-20 minute walk after each meal (on the treadmill after dinner). And I’m chasing my toddler after work.

Exercise before/after work.

Its really hard for me unless I'm intentional about it. I'm in CA so it's only 12:40 here. So far I'm at 3233 steps. I took a barre class, then drove to costco, then cleaned my kitchen. During my work calls I'll need to get up and walk around!

I putz around my house a lot and take a walk right after work most days. It’s actually quite easy if you’re intentional about it. You can get a lot of steps in just putzing!

It takes me 1.5- 2 hours so I don’t.

I walk 30 min in the am and 30 in the pm and don’t worry about some random 10k steps

To hit 10k steps I need to be very intentional. Walk on the treadmill at the gym after I strength train even if it's only 20 min. Walk after dinner. Get up and walk around my building.

I walk after every meal at least 1.5k steps. I also walk every morning with my DH to get my coffee and that’s 4.5k round trip at 6am. Then just randomly moving around, I’m often over.

Do you work in an office or WFH? I feel that getting 10k steps in at the office shouldn't be that hard.

WFH is a bit harder. I used to get my steps in easily when I had my dog. Since she's passed, I have to force myself to walk around the neighborhood for breaks. Also, I park farther away when I go to stores. Going to the gym helps me a lot as well.

That's easy. Walk to work. Walk during lunch.

Park far away
Circle the offices every 2 hours
Add a short walk at lunch and/or in the evening
Walk your dog as far as she will agree

If you have a desk job, how do you get in 10k steps/day?
