I have always had a suspicion that I do quite a bit of walking during the day at work.

 

Just never knew how much until I decided to put it to the test for a week using the app on my smatphone.

 

This is during work hours ONLY, started the app at 8am and stopped it at 17:30!

 

Holly crap I walk a lot!!!

Pretty much averages out to 10km per day ... excluding walking to gym, walking at home before and after work!

I have clocked myself walking just over 6km when mowing the lawn and weedeating! Up and down and around again....!

 

I work from home so there isnt much walking to be done!

Depending on what I am busy with, and the size of the site, I can clock up some serious kms.

 

Currenlty i am offce bound, and yesterday for instance only took 350 odd steps.

Yup all work related.

 

I work in a bike shop.

This is walking between counter, workshop, to clients, to back to collect bikes etc.

 

I save petrol by commuting to work from Somerset West to Stellenbosch.

This would also be the longest time during the day I am seated, while on the bike! :eek:

 

We dont have any chairs in the shop, so we are saving the forest also!

Wow would not have thought that would add up to +/- 10km per day

How does it calculate the km's?

I use the S Health app on my Galaxy S4, it counts your steps using the built in pedometer.
