How much do you walk?

I get like 1.5 miles a day, usually, on days I'm trying maybe three.
....I'm just here to help even out the bell curve. You're welcome.

I probably get more, I walk everywhere and am on my feet for most of my day, but I don't count that.

I walk at work and time permitting I walk 1.25 miles in the morning 2.5 - 3 miles at lunch time and another 1.25 in the afternoon. I run/jog 3/4 miles evenings and weekends ending up with another mile cool down walk. I also have non cardio days but that wasn't the question.

7 miles (11km) for my walk at home each day (the 2nd mile of the 5 mile dvd repeated as many as I can do in a row) then about another 7 miles to the supermarket & back..... then whatever I decide to do after all that. I can easily do about 30km a day..... perhaps a little less.

If I take the longer walk to the supermarket it's 17km all up. I walked 23km to get mascara. I walked to get new walking shoes yesterday, 15km all up & a my 10km walk at home (6 miles of the dvd)

I have my fitbit on 24/7 an I easily get over 35,000 a day now. 20,000 is my daily goal.

I walk all day cause that is all I can do to relieve my back pain.

I suddenly feel very small and sedentary.

I drive to work, and on a bad day, by the end of the working day I might have hit 2,500 steps. So I go for a walk to the shops or anything to get a few more steps in - all hail the power of fitbit!!!!!

At the weekend I managed an 8 mile walk across the moor. To be fair it was rough and boggy terrain, but even so, it was nothing compared to these figures.

All this walking talk makes me want to do more - and they say that those who 'fidget' more, weigh less- ie. those who move constantly during the day. It's less about specific exercise times and more about general activity.

Trust me I still workout. I do that in the morning or I just feel sluggish by about 3pm. I only do so much walking for a few reasons, I don't drive...never have. I don't want to pay for public transport... so I walk EVERYWHERE. I have my back injury so walking is actually a better way for me to take my mind off the pain rather than pain killers that I'm addicted to.

But I guess take out the back pain & I'd still walk so much. I love it. Even during summer I was walking that much, I got a great tan :laugh: I don't work, well can't work.....ever again :mad: so this is all I can do really.

According to my fitbit I walk over 10,000 steps in a normal day. Saturday I did 20,000 by walking to my son's drama class, walking to work, walking back to the drama class, walking to the station, walking to the Natural History Museum, walking around the dinosaurs, walking to Harrods, walking to a restaurant with excellent couscous, and to be honest I was pleased that dh had his car at the station at the end of the day :laugh:

This pregnancy I'm finding my hips are much better if I get in 10,000 steps a day, which is what worries me today as I feel too unwell and it's raining :grumble: Sitting in the car seems to be the worst for me right now.

Minimum 25 miles per week

I walk from 7:30 in the morning till 2:30 in the afternoon, only sitting down to do paperwork.....

Apparently my job dosnt count as exercise though :grumble:

True but your activity level should be set higher (not sedentary) so you still get extra calories.

ETA answer to question. On the days I go for walks, I try to go 3-4 miles but I get a really long walk in now and then and go 7 or 8 miles. Love long walks!

I have no idea! For me, walking is my primary form of transportation. I do not believe in owning a car. I do have a subway pass, but generally choose to walk at least a mile to a subway route more direct than the one closest to my house. I go to the grocery store, to the library, pharmacy, dr's, dentist, post office, out to dinner, to the movies, to a baseball game, etc, all on foot. I only generally use the subway to get to work and to go to my daughter's ballet class.

I don't wear a pedometer on purpose because I don't get to eat back my transport calories, just excercise calories. So I figure it's best I don't know how much I walk on a given day because then I might think I deserve a piece of chocolate cake, but I don't.

7 miles a night when I am at work... and I try to walk 2 miles leasurily while not at work

To and from beer fridge ... X24 reps... So yeah about 5 miles/day
J/k but I trying do better ... 5 miles sounds great to me ... Great work!

I have a Fitbit and wear it every single day. When I got it a year ago my goal was 5 miles a day, and I rarely made that goal (I work in a sedentary job). Now though, a year later, my goal is 7 miles a day and I hit it almost everyday. I walk between 7-9 miles a day and go for 2 or 3 actual walks in a day; I find them to be therapeutic.

Not to hijack this thread, but how do yo guys get all of these miles in? I'm a runner and the only time I get 5 miles is when I run them! I guess I'm just pretty sedentary besides my runs. I'd definitely like to up that number if anyone has any suggestions.

I feel the same way. I started running because I just can't fit in any more time walking. How many hours do you all spend walking? Or is everyone including the walking they do all day long, in addition to dedicated exercise time? I bike about three miles a day back and forth to work and walk two or so with my dogs in the evening, but if I want to fit in more than that and still have time to make and eat dinner, I need to run them.

I usually try to walk my dog daily. She is slightly hefty and needs the exercise also, so that really motivates me. We go about 1.5 - 2 miles.

I only walk about 1 or 2 miles a day. 4 or 5 if the mood takes me. I walk quite slowly and tend to play with my dog while I'm out so my 4 mile walk takes me 2 hours.

I also have shin splints which makes walking agony, especially uphill.
My doctor seems to think it's because I went from being a very fit and active teenager to a lazy student, and if I build up the muscles again it should be fine.
There's been quite a few times I've had to stop and sit down during my walk because of the pain.

I wear my fitbit and do 10k-20k steps a day.... BUT I have a part-time job where I easily walk 5-10 miles a shift so that always ups my total. Also, zumba 3-4x week ups it a lot too
