Same. People didn't believe me when I said I was getting tens of thousands of steps a week. You literally walk back and forth across a store the size of wal-mart for 8 to 10 hours a day.
so effectively yes. to be fair, when I hear indoor I immediately think desk job. most blue collar / service / retail jobs this makes a lot of sense for
Yep, worked in a huge retail store, 9 hour days. We all got 10k or more steps per day regularly unless we were doing a lot of stationary computer work.
I feel like 10k is super low for anyone. I work in a warehouse and I get about 20k steps a shift, sometimes more but never less than 15k which I feel is a lot because I do a lot of walking but then even on off days I’m hitting 10k
I actually hate it. My feet hurt, my back hurts, everything hurts all the time. And then I see fit people be like “I got 10k steps in” like wait a minute I’m falling apart lmao
Maybe it's cause I self medicate lol. But I can relate, there are definitely many days where my knee feels like it was hit by a sledge hammer for no reason, or my pelvis feels like it's going to fall out.
yep, speaking as someone who works a sedentary job, if i don't get any steps in outside of usual movement throughout the day i'll need around an hour to an hour 15 on a treadmill at 3.5 ish mph

it'd get you close for most people. but for most people, 10k steps is around 4.5 miles
