I work in a 5-story building and pat myself on the back for taking the stairs up every morning. Your trick is a good one to kick up another notch on my workday workout!</p> <p>I walk to work 1.21 miles and then back. and take the dog for another two miles on nights when it's not absolutely frigid. Otherwise we do the stairs in our building. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53517 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:38:32 +0000 mrsjazz 53517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I have the same amount of walking from home to the subway and then from the subway to work. I also live on the 4th fl. of a walk-up.</p> <p>I use my pedometer to get my butt in gear with walking. It's a great way to squeeze in extra steps. My co-workers and I have had pedometer challenges before. You can add little things like going to the bathroom on another floor. My office is 4 buildings connected to each other so since it's cold out now, usually after lunch I will pick a building, start at the top floor, walk each floor and then down the stairs until I get to the bottom. And reverse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53504 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:06:28 +0000 hilsy85 53504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm....I also probably walk the same amount to/from the train. I also live on a 4th floor walkup, so I'm up and down the stairs at least once a day. And if I go food shopping, that's another half mile that I walk...so probably on average about 2 miles a day? That's one of the things I love about NYC though--it is such a walkable city! I think I would be a lot heavier if I lived elsewhere and drove everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53488 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:58:19 +0000 SugarplumsMom 53488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only walking I do nowerdays is a morning stroll to the lake on the weekends, but honestly, that hasn't happened in weeks! It always ends up snowing or raining or I start feeling sick or nauseous so I end up not going. DH has started to walk by himself, poor guy ;(</p> <p>The only thing I can count lately is walking up and down the stairs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53484 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:53:38 +0000 looch 53484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I want to go out somewhere during the day, my options are to walk or take the train. The train system is awesome, I can get anywhere I need to on the trains and buses. Plus, my son rides for free, and we can take the stroller on board no problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53473 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:53:23 +0000 BSB 53473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walk about 7 blocks each way when I take the bus to work. So 14 blocks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53471 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:50:56 +0000 DigAPony 53471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only walk around campus, and a small one at that. Ugh. I am a writer/grad student/teacher, so for much of the day, I am hunched over my laptop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53466 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:15:20 +0000 cyndistar3 53466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now the only walking that I do is in the house. There is no way I am going to go out in 20 some degrees with my daughter and I have been getting sick a lot so I don't think walking in the cold would help it any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53465 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 01:10:43 +0000 redboots 53465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to go out for at least a 30 to 45 min walk with lo. However we've been neglecting our walks as we've been in baby sleep boot camp round 2. Sigh.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53342 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:09:14 +0000 chopsuey 53342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes. I only walk at home.. to the kitchen, upstairs, downstairs, etc. I used to run 4-5 miles a day before I had my LO though. :P Can't wait to start running again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53327 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:48:45 +0000 heffalump 53327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, for the past month I've had a migraine...so not much at all. But when I'm feeling good, I still don't walk much. I love going for walks with my family (hubby, lo, and pup) though. I miss it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-much-do-you-walk-a-day#post-53302 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:07:52 +0000 mrbee 53302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to walk more, but it's cold out so it's really hard! On a daily basis for my work week commute, I walk to the subway (4-5 blocks) and then from the subway to work (5-6 blocks). So that's 20 blocks a day? According to Google, that's about one mile.</p> <p>I'd like to walk 5x that (10k steps!). I probably actually walk 2 miles a day, since I go out for coffee and lunch and also take the stairs whenever I can. Still, that's 3 more miles a day that I have to walk!</p> <p>To amp up my walking, I'm gearing up to get off a few subway stops earlier than usual. It's just been so cold though, that I can't bring myself to do it!</p> <p>How much do you walk a day? </p>
