An office worker at a desk and a computer all day?

I gave my FitBit to my husband one day - school administrator, large school, had supervision at different gates during the day + running all over putting out “fires.”

He figured he covered five miles/day and it turns out he did. As a school teacher, my mileage was about 3.5 each day.

Of course all that changed after retirement - but having dogs helps, they get me out walking morning and evening.

Yes, just walking from the car, walking a bit about the office, going to lunch, and going to the bathroom adds up to around 6-7,000 steps for a modern office worker.

My daughter in law has a standing desk at work, and a walking treadmill under it. It’s worked well for her and has not affected her work (she’s a marketing assistant).

On a different note, my son got me a pedometer because he didn’t think I was walking enough. I wore it a few weeks and logged 8-10,000 steps per day, lol. Between housework, farm work and gardening, I keep pretty busy!
