How Far Do You Walk Every Day?

So I got thinking about this before, how far do you reckon you walk each day? If you can't walk, how do you get around, and how far do you go each day? I know places in the USA it's abnormal to walk further than to your car, but what about where you live?

I normally walk at least two miles a day, even if I'm working from home I'll go out and stretch my legs. But if I want a longer walk I tend to double that. Add an extra mile on top if I walk to the shop too. I'll happily jog or hike for miles, but I've not been doing that much at all over winter to now. When I move back to England soon I'll be walking regularly up to ten miles a day through the hills, with a look to build on that over time.

I don't walk nearly as much as I used to in the past. Back in middle school, 7th grade every day I would skip school (which was about every other day) and I would walk around town and the river trail for around 8 hours.

Even just walking an hour a day has been proven to increase heart, lung and brain health. Not to mention the weight loss, and who doesn't like losing weight? (Especially in America lol)

Don't ever talk shit on Freedom Land. Walking is for poor, undeveloped people.

On a serious note: for the past month, I've been going back to the gym. I run 3 miles every day I'm at the gym + weights. I'd love to walk outdoors more, but my time is consumed by work and school, and the gym is so convenient.

I live about 2,5km from work so I walk that twice a day.
Going to the shop every second day I walk an additional 3km. Not having a car anymore has been great. It's especially nice now that summer is on the way. Even if I still had a car I wouldn't drive these short distances.

About an hour each day.. though I jog more now.

Ever since I found out I'm allergic to bees i've been hiking a lot less. I had an unfortunate week period two years ago when I stepped in 2 nests. I run 3-4 miles everyday right now and I'm hoping to build up my endurance and attempt a half marathon later this year/next year.

Well, the way it looks recently, bees are going to extinct. No more excuses!

Not sure how far, but I have an app on my iPhone named Breeze and on average I walk about 20-25k steps per day because of my job, manual labour.

I walk 2 miles at the gym, does that count?

I guess it depends on the size of your steps :P

It's a good point though, right now I mostly work from my computer. In the past I spent 6-8 hours workoing out and coaching.

lol yeah :P

I am on my feet walking all day at work...I average about 5 miles (8 KM) a day...usually around 10,000+ steps a day per my Health app.

Working at the airport I walk an avarage of 16km per day.

I used to record what I walked, and it worked out to be around 6k steps a day, which tbh isn't that much at all. The burdens of a desk job.

usually walk like 10-11k steps at work a day but everywhere else is 2 far without car
