How Much Do You Walk A Day?

[BiBottomBoy]

According to Pokemon Go I walk roughly 5.4 km a day.

Is that a little?

Is that a lot?

How much do you guys walk a day?

[AdamSmith]

3-5 miles.

Heart health!

Also, finally at last, some decent posture from core strength.

And -- best of all -- OUTDOORS! Every kind of physical mental psychological advantage over indoor gym stuff.

Which I would sign on for, then never go to. 

[BiBottomBoy]

Yeah. I love walking outdoors.

That is quite a lot especially in the US where everyone uses the car so much. 

 I walk that much too, but I have a lot of walking as part of my daily commute.

[BiBottomBoy]

I live in a city and don't own a car so it's just natural for me to walk that much.

I try to get 10,000 steps a day, which is roughly five miles a day, and is hard to do in suburbia.  I remember taking a cruise and easily getting 15,000 - 20,000 steps a day just getting from one part of the ship to another.

8000 to 10000 onmost days. Sometimes up to 15-20K if I’m walking around a lot or feeling energetic.

Love to get 10,000 steps in. I also run a few times a week and try for a 5k or more once a month, where I generally finish in th ectopic fifth. Hike, road and mountain bike, and do x-fit. Lifting is actually superior to running, but combined is even better. Keep up the activities, gentlemen! Your providers will also appreciate it.

[Guest Harvitor]

I usually try to run 5 km a day.

Try for 10k a day...the FitBit used to encourage me but I lost it 

[FFshawDC]

I was doing 10K steps a day for many months.... it really does make you feel better.   I've fallen off lately, but I've been lifting.   Time to get back to the steps, though.

iPhones have a step counter you can access using the built-in Health app. It's usually turned on by default but if not, here's how to turn it on and access it. You do not need to download any other apps.

I try to run at least 5 miles on most days.

Due to arthritic joints age 59 the doc said do NOT RUN but just walk aerobically and you will get the same benefits.

[BiBottomBoy]

Yeah. My left leg f ucked up about three years ago and I'm told I can walk or swim but not to run.

[TotallyOz]

I try to do 10,000 steps per day. But, often fall short.

[BiBottomBoy]

Hey!

The site is working again!

[kippy]

My aim is 10,000 steps a day as well.  Often more between 6,000-7,000.  I'm amazed at much territory I cover just doing yard work!

I don't too much like that way of 'setting goals.' Instead I just start out each afternoon, see how the body feels, then push it to do a little more each day.

Holistic (essentially Eastern) rather than Western quantified.
