Walk to Lunch for Exercise!
Does it count if I'm walking to get a huge
chocolate shake?
I do walk a lot in my job since I pace a lot
while lecturing. I get about two miles when I teach for two hours if you also
include other, normal, daily stuff. This means no additional walking other than
job-related.
When I took a walk one day
to bring lunch back from Subway, it added 800 steps (400 each way). The walking
took no time at all. I clocked it between five and ten minutes for each way.
That along with my normal pacing took me up to 5000 steps which is approximately
half of what's recommended.
I don't
think it'll be a problem to get up to 10,000 steps. I think I'll set aside about
30 minutes each day just to walk around and check things out. Exercise and
fun... oh, what will I think of next?
