How many steps do you do per day?

I don't know how you do it! Today, I did 10k on crosstrainer and then went on a solid 4 hour walk . On top of that, usual milling about. 19,000 all in. I couldn't physically do any more in a day!

I commute by train and have an office job so 10K is tough from a tube point of view. I try to get 3k before I get to the office- running around the house putting washing out tidying etc and walking back and forth on platform! (It means getting up at 6 though). If possible I get out for 20 mins at lunch but it's not always possible and then I find 30 / 60 mins of housework chasing after dc in the evening gets me close.

My daily Fitbit target is set at 11,000 which is the minimum I'll do.

Yesterday I did 23,000, but on an average day anything between 13,000 - 16,000

My goal is 12000 per day, but I average about 16000. Walk to work and back, do a quick walk around the block which takes 5 minutes once an hour when prompted unless I'm stuck in meetings. A lot of my weekend steps are higher quality as we hike most weekend days and there is usually quite a bit of uphill and downhill.

I find the Fitbit quite motivating.

Mine varies quite a bit - sometimes as low as 4000 if it's a desk day, sometimes nearer 20,000. I look at my weekly count and aim for 70,000 a week - so if it's looking low by the weekend, I go for a long walk.

VIctoria Beckham has a treadmill desk. Apart from that, I really want one!

Just looked at mine. Daily average is 9,625 approx. I don't have any idea how accurate my phone is!

I average around 16000 a day. Have done over 10000 every day since November last year.

I do more on the days I run.

*Future of office workers - for some reason auto-correct has decided 'of' isn't a word and I must mean if!

unless someone forks out for a treadmill desk for me!

You never know that could actually be the future if office workers! There are already increasing numbers of standing desks being brought into offices, because of the health benefits of even just standing rather than sitting. Perhaps that's the next step - a standing desk with treadmill incorporated. It would certainly help increase the health of the nation.

Not bad for midday!

(Does include a 10k run this morning!)

central london parking isn't randomly available at 2 mile marks, needs to be the work car park. There's also the issue of being able to do school drop off, drive to london and then fit in a 2 mile walk before 9 / 9.30 which isn't entirely feasible. I am at a loss to see where I can fit a 2 mile walk into daily routine unless someone forks out for a treadmill desk for me!

Austen can you’ve just park 2 miles from work and walk? I wouldn’t want to walk thirty miles per day but parking further from work and walking the last bit would give you some walking

It varies greatly! Yesterday I did 16k, today, 3.5k.

I average about 11,000 a day, that’s with 2 School walks and a midday dog walk. Will be more if I go shopping etc

I've had a basic day today - I have a semi-mobile job, partly sat for long amounts of time with some walking around. I've done 12,300 so far.

Gym doesn't always mean steps - a pump class is about 250 steps and circuits only about 2k!

I ealk for 30 minutes twice a day cover 1.7 miles each way and average 7000 steps

But I do go to gym and cycle and don’t get steps for that as i collect steps on my phone

Gawd this is depressing. I have either a car commute (not going to walk 15 miles into central London ta) or work at home (10 steps). Very, very rarely take a lunch break as leave at 5ish to collect kids so need to work. I think I'm going to have to start getting up earlier to run / walk because 10-15k steps takes time I just can't seem to find (walked to post office and back today. iPhone made it 4.5k steps, took 40 minutes out of my day thought)

My target is set at 10k but I average 15k, 20k if I've been to the gym. When I started in May I averaged 5k a day and I've just built it into my daily routine. I used to drive to school but now we walk and that's my 10k done (it's half an hour away). The rest is general daily activity and then 30 minutes on the cross trainer (I try to do this 3x a week) usually gets me up to 20k. At weekends I walk to the gym and back (I don't have time to do this in the week if I want to do bedtime stories!) and that gets my 10k in place of the school run. I find the fitbit so motivating and it has been life changing for me.

I work from home so am very sedentary. Yesterday I had to stay in all day because I was waiting for a parcel, so by the time I went to bed I'd only done about 6000. I did swim in the evening though.

A walk into our local town centre, even if I don't really need anything, usually adds around 3000, so I can get it close to 10,000 most days.

However, I run three times a week so I always cover more than 70,000 a week even if I have some very sedentary days.

I'm really impressed with those of you who are doing way in excess of 10K a day!

I've done 10,000 today so I'm pleased with that. I have a very sedentary job and I don't have kids or a dog to bump my steps up

That's really good and I definitely get what you mean - half my daily steps are walking the dog! Also add a couple of thousand on a school day from the mad panic running about the house in the mornings and, although we drive, we can't park very close to school so I have a 7-10min walk from car to class door to car, morning and afternoon.

Hah wishingandwaiting I've just seen your similar reply!

Some days it can be 7000 but most days it's about 1300, occasionally it's between 15000-20000 but that's when I run too.
