The article discusses the stark contrast in daily physical activity when the author moved from a walkable city like New York City to North Carolina and began working remotely. After realizing their step count dropped to under 1,000 daily, the author invested in a walking pad, which has been key in restoring their activity to 8,000-10,000 steps per day. The author highlights the importance of choosing an easily accessible walking pad and incorporating walking sessions throughout the workday rather than all at once, making movement a seamless part of their routine.
For nearly eight years, I didn't have a car and lived in super walkable cities, like New York City, which meant I often got close to 10,000 steps a day just by commuting to work and doing daily tasks like grabbing coffee or groceries.
I started feeling sluggish and gross for moving so little throughout the week and decided to look into getting a walking pad.
Since it's been so accessible, it's been easy to incorporate the walking pad into my daily routine.
I can easily go from sitting to walking and back, so I get my steps in over the course of the day instead of all in one session.
