How far do you walk/run each day?

[dales.girl38]

Can vary significantly - today I did 9km but during the week if I don't go for a walk it can be only few.

Working a physical job and then having to do oodles around home, a high maintenance property, inhibits my exercise more than I like. That's life I guess.

Thats exactly how I walk so much, working on a high maintenance property.

I'm a bit skeptical of the accuracy of fitbits etc. particularly when it comes to calories burned.

I have one and mine seems to be fairly accurate. There is a walk I can do from one section of beach to the other and back. Google measures the road journey as 2.5km one way. My fitbit says 5.1km up and back.

I have really upped my effort and aim for 7km/10000 steps a day. Those steps are usually in big blocks ie 4000 to colonnades and 4000 back ( 30 min each way) Then walking around Colonnades like the sad old man I am I rack up the other 2 easy.

Have dropped 15kg since Oct1.

I don't take much notice of the calories burned to be honest.

I kind of suck. Only 4-6km. It's a bit more difficult in winter. I have a stand-up desk now which is nice at least.

Bugger running....My days of hurrying for any man or anything are over.

Now walking....There's a civilized pursuit....And none of that power-walking crud either.

Last week I did 20km at work, but I go to the gym 3-4 times a week as well. About to start footy training so that will bump it up a bit. Trying to really get my blood pressure down.

Well done mate, super effort. What have been the major changes you've made to achieve your results so far?

Thank you

We have a Fit Board post in our ''Backyard'' on the AFC board in which I go into more detail. Mainly 1600 calories a day and no sugar drinks,lollies,biscuits or chips. Especially those after 8pm. Much more water.

Around 10,000 steps a day

 

[revival_mode]

I don't have a fitbit or understand distances when people say how many steps they have taken but I walk my dog about 4-4.5km 6 days a week. take a longer route if I have time on the weekends too.

So roughly 30km or just under every week. Idk how much I get the rest of the day - work an office job so not heaps.

Not far enough I'm afraid

 

[Perth gal]

Im a nurse so do approx 8000 to 10000 steps in a shift.

Just started at the gym too. But mainly doing weights.

 

[iluvparis]

I average about 40-45,000 steps a week which ends up being about 30-35k.
