How much do you walk?

I found fitbit really helpful in motivating me to walk. If I don't go to the gym my sedentary job and life style makes up to 3000 steps only, but going to gym, I try to go over 12500. So far so good (around 7 miles a day)

If its a 'walk to work' day, I'll get in 6-7 miles. If not.. barely 2-3.

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.

they all strap a pedometer to themselves, and track every little bit of movement "oh, i walked to the dishwasher, burning more cals!"

which is why i don't use mine, when i have it and it's working, all day. i literally only put that on for my walk to work, walk home from work and sometimes when i take my dog out if we're going to be going for a longer walk, but my cat knocked mine in a sink full of water so i don't even have it anymore. i honestly don't think that people took this as 'how far do you walk for exercise' as that wasn't erally how it was worded and simply answered with how far they walk a day, and no matter what at the end of the day you walked such adn such a distance and over the course of the day burned such and such calories. they aren't hurting anyone by wearing the pedometer and most of them aren't saying they did it in one goal. not to mention you can walk five miles in like...forty minutes or something it's not that hard to find that time in a day, unless you are a parent of course who doesn't have another parent at home who can watch the kdis, but even working an eight hour day that still gives you time to get up and get out of the house for a walk.

On my days off I try to get 4-6 miles a day (Sunday and Monday). I work Tues-Sat, but I walk during my lunch break. My goal is to get 2 miles in, which takes me about 32/36 minutes right now (the town I work in has lots of little hills to make sure I really feel it). If we can, my husband and I try to walk a couple miles in the evenings. Right now I'm probably averaging about 3 miles a day.

According to my FitBit One, I average between 4 & 7 miles walked a day. I also try to work in stairs, using the stairs in my house if nothing else.

To answer those who are saying we're counting each step, including to and from the dishwasher, etc., there is some truth to that. HOWEVER, in that mileage most days now is usually a 3.15 mile walk (GPS measured) and/or a 1.65 mile walk (GPS measured). I get up at 4 in the morning and am walking by 4:15 to get in the 3+ mile walk, and then in the evening a lot of days husband and I will take the girls' stroller and drag the boy along for the shorter walk.

So, for pure exercise's sake, between 3.1 & just under 5 miles a day, spending about 1.5 - 1.75 hours. Gets some family time and some peace & quiet time in together.

I don't use a pedometer- I use the map my walk app, app on the iphone. I only turn it on when I go out to walk- not for hanging out around the house. But...that does have me wondering how much I actually walk around my house. Guess I couldn't count that as exercise though, huh? <sigh>

Cool, I hadn't heard of that app before. I am going to download it and give it a try...I walk a LOT and have always been curious about how many kilometers I do in a day.

I don't have a mileage goal. Calorie burns are tracked by the time you exercise anyway, not by the miles you go (sort of go together, but anyway). I walk incredibly slow. My fast walk would be most people's slow to moderate pace. Still it doesn't matter to me, cuz I figure I am getting a much better burn in the 1 1/2 - 2 hours I walk in the day, than I would if I was just sitting watching tv or being on the computer all day. So, I walk at least 2x a day, sometimes 3 and I am aiming for a total of 2 hours, but I would actually like to hit that 3 hour mark.
