Walk or public transport only

It’s easier for some due to their job and location. I think 7-8 is doable for most people. Even if I just walk to the shops once in a day I hit 6.

I live in rural Maine and work at my desk all day, so I feel you. I’ve started increasing my steps by using my stand up desk and walking in place while I wait for webpages to download, pacing while I’m on the phone, and intentionally making extra trips up and down my stairs.

I walk everywhere for transport. Walk on my break , workout before work (usually 7-8k steps) . Easy things like YouTube fit with Rick is fab and can do it whilst cooking is in the oven etc

I work on my feet for 8 hrs a day and do 18000+. No need for extra hours of walking

I’ve just started hitting 10k but unless I’m out all day it’s difficult, my 4 mile walk is approx 6400 steps, the rest is made up pottering around at home between 6am and 9pm, when we went to Disneyland Paris in June we hit 24 miles a day 😳😂

Are you tall?

My goal is 5 miles/day. It takes me about 15-17 min to cover a mile at a brisk(ish) pace. I get up early & workout w/ weights/machines every other day for 30 min & walk a mile (little over 2k steps). On off days I do 2 miles (4k+). I tend to use my AM/PM breaks at work to walk a mile (each). On WO Days that means I'm at roughly 6k+ intentional steps (3 miles) & non-WO Days I'm at 8k (4 miles). Typically general movement throughout the day makes up the rest, if not, a short PM walk is added.

I live in a rural area and have to drive to get to anything. I do 2, 20 min walks a day (when I’m on my A game) up and down my street and that gets me around 12-13k per day along with my normal movement. I do not have a desk job but I am a pretty sedentary person if I’m being totally honest.

It probably depends a lot on your lifestyle. I don't have a car. I walk a few miles all over my town to do everyday errands, plus walking home from the swimming pool at night (because bus service is scarce after 9pm), plus going for actual walks to relax my mind...
