That includes walking to the coffee-machine, to the elevator, to the car, etc.

If you walk a moderate 100 steps/minute, 49 minutes of walking is just 4900 steps which is easy to hit without even really intentionally walking anywhere, unless you work from home without going outside

It depends on where you live. In a European or Asian city it’s just a normal commute. In North America it can be more difficult outside of cities.

Not really. I pace around my house all the time when I work from home. I go up and down the stairs a dozen or so times a day. I walk the dog twice a day most days.

Put some headphones on and walk. If you live outside of the city you have even more nature to walk in.

When you walk do you do so on sidewalks?
