How far do you walk a day

Jump to newest

Been using the pedometer on my phone (so not entirely accurate) but in work I'm hitting 10k plus steps every day for the last few months on average about 5-6 miles a day with about 5 of that being in work.

what's mad is I work indoors.

So anyone else use their phones or other pedometers to see how far you walk?

Yep I use one on my phone, like you when at work I'll usually hit about 13k steps.

10k steps is about 2 miles unless you have got massive feet.

I try and do minimum 10000 but it varies what I'm doing.

They recommend 1000 a day

10k is two miles!!!. No way. Are you sure?. My pedometer must have a problem because I walk for hours four days a week and knock up about 10k a week.

10k steps is around 5 miles for the average male walking down the road - in work you're likely to be taking shorter paces though, so a bit less.

Easy to work out - measure your the length of a typical stride (is prob just less than a yard), there are 1,760 yards in a mile - so if you estimated that you took say 2,000 paces to a mile, 10k steps would be 5 miles.

Sigh, they don't teach basic maths very well these days

well that's what the nurse told me and I'm sure I don't walk minimum 5 miles a day. But I might be wrong, I'm just going on what she told me they recommended

Why would the size of your feet affect the size of your step?

10k is around 5 miles, have checked a couple of times with distance on maps and it's surprisingly pretty accurate. Thing is sometimes mine say's I've been running when I know I haven't.

If I'm out working at a decent size art gallery - about 25km.

The rest of the time, about 3km walking in my house. Plus a run.

One easy way to increase your

amount of steps is have vigorous wank with phone in you're hand.

If the nurse said 10,000 steps is 2 miles, she/he is totally wrong, that would make a pace around 1 foot, or 30cm - it would be about right for a 2 year old though.

Seriously, whilst many nurses are very knowledgeable about treatment protocols and have a wide vocabulary of abbreviations and acronyms, I've yet to meet one who was any good at basic arithmetic

What's walking? I hobble if that counts?

Ok - I've just measure the total distance of 10 relaxed paces, not stepping out ones. It comes to 10 yards near as dammit, and I'm a shortarse.

So, that means I'm doing 1,760 paces to the mile.

10,000 divided by 1760 is 5.7 miles

Well the school runs combined are 3 miles a day then after that it depends on what I'm doing. If I walk to town and back it's 3 miles not counting the steps taken walking around town. If I go for a walk down the canal it's anything from 3-10 miles dependent on the route I've chosen. When I'm at work I literally just walk to the loo and the coffee making facilities and back to my desk, so very little walking there but if weather is nice I walk home (2.4 miles but it's a very BORING walk).

So in short... Anything from 3 to 13 miles a day.

You are correct, some nurses arithmetic is shocking. I think 10k in adult steps is roughly just over 6 miles..

Apparently I walk 5 miles a day on a day when I'm not doing too much (and I haven't left my phone in the van).

I never take my phone when I walk the dogs and thats another 2 miles....

When I used to work days my Samsung fitness app suggested 10000 steps a day but I used to average 32000. Now I do nights I'm lucky to see 5000. I get most of mine nowadays walking my dog, on a good day I walk him 6 miles if it's sunny 2 if it's raining.
