I do 15k minimum week days and around 25k weekends. I have a desk job but I walk before and after work as I like to do 15k as i’m usually dieting, or wanting to burn extra calories, and weekend i’m in a walking group (also walk one weekday evening so that day i’ll do 18-20k steps. I do tend to go to the office daily too rather than home working so that gets me some extra steps in but I get up early so always do 5k min before I even arrive at work at 8.15.

Love this! Going to try get up to 15,000 a day. Summer is no problem but winter kicks my butt!

An absolutely depressing c4k per day. I have an office job that’s been hideously stressful for the last year and I’ve been tied to my desk for long hours.

I will resolve to try more.

workshyfop · 20/05/2025 21:25

For the last 8 weeks I’ve averaged 10,250. Before that average was <5k. I have a desk job and barely move during the work day 🙁Good weather and light nights help, I’m already dreading winter.

Trinity69 · 20/05/2025 21:27
  1. Desk job, do try and move a bit during the day but am limited really! Will be walking more now the weather is better.
ArghhWhatNext · 20/05/2025 21:28

9,436. But I’m not allowed to carry my phone at work so no idea what I actually do. (Primary teacher so not really sedentary)

Loveduppenguin · 20/05/2025 21:29

Just over 6k…office job 🤣

BoysRule · 20/05/2025 21:30

16,499. I pretty much always do 10k a day, I work in a school but it’s quite a desk based job. I have a dog so I walk after work. I often do 20k on my days off and have been known to do 33k if I go for a run and two dog walks.

TranquilityofSolitude · 20/05/2025 21:31

Oh, thank you! I didn’t know you could do that! 21,804

devildeepbluesea · 20/05/2025 21:31

19,400 average. Dog owner, plus exercise most days. Also desk job.

LAvortonDeLaLitière · 20/05/2025 21:33

Average 10,600. Not so bad as was in an air boot for 2 months. Large dog definitely helps.

LoserWinner · 20/05/2025 21:43

Average is 16300 a day - but I live in London and walk a lot.

BatchCookBabe · 20/05/2025 21:47

36,500,000 over the past year. (thirty six million, five hundred thousand.) I do around 100,000 steps a day.

Just tootling around and doing housework and gardening, ambient walking, walks around the village etc...

henlake7 · 20/05/2025 23:07

Average 11,043.
I've actually got my goal set to 7,000 steps as too much walking makes my knees hurt (15,000 today so......achey knees!).

macshoto · 20/05/2025 23:19

8,718 over the last year. Desk-based job.
Last month 9,946 and last 7 days 10,446 (now semi-retired).

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 20/05/2025 23:38

Just over 19.000 steps daily. Work in a school and am apparently addicted to running.

100000 steps a day would be approximately 50 miles. Think you might have got that wrong

MyIvyGrows · 20/05/2025 23:48

9,945, which is a bit rubbish especially as I run 5-10km 3 times a week! I thought that would push the average up a bit more.

mondaytosunday · 20/05/2025 23:49

@SamDeanCasthey are joking, as the average person in the UK does 3-4000 steps a day, but of course MNers do loads more!

Wincher · 20/05/2025 23:49

i thought mine would be higher but it’s 11,853. I do a fair amount of swimming and gym classes, I cycle to the gym/pool, and they don’t add many steps. Today I’ve only done 8,313 because I was working from home but I did do a body conditioning class this evening. Steps aren’t everything. On an office day walking (to the tube and back, around the office etc) is my only exercise and I normally do about 15k steps those days

purpleme12 · 20/05/2025 23:53

13,338 average daily steps

Not a mission

On a recorded timed marathon hike of 26.2 miles which took me just over 8 hours - 63k steps so I really dont think you are doing 100k a day

suki1964 · 21/05/2025 00:18

I do walk a lot but a change of job has dropped my steps to a daily average of 12,158

Last year I was waitressing - 20k was the norm :(

WithIcePlease · 21/05/2025 01:01

12426 average
I do make a conscious effort to get them in
I did gym (weights) this morning and then supermarket but had to do another hours walk to get up to 10000 which is fairly typical
Usually 15-20k at weekends
