Stay home mums or people who work from home- how many steps do you get in each day?

I read that you should get 10 thousand a day and anything less than 5000 is considered a sedentary life style. 4/7 days a week Iโ€™m getting less than a thousand in๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

I only got 300 yesterday ๐Ÿ˜ถwhen I had a big day out last week I felt like Iโ€™d walked miles but it was only 6000 steps I was astonished

Probably about 5k on average. Only because some days we are out for a long day and then some days Iโ€™m a 1k kinda girl ๐Ÿ˜‚ but who even has their phone on them 24/7? (If you donโ€™t have a Fitbit)

On average around 4000. Way too low considering I used to get around 20,000 a day at one point in my previous life.
I plan to dust off my Fitbit and make an effort to start getting at least 10,000 again. I actually got 10,000 yesterday for the first time in a while ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

On a general day at home not doing anything special, usually around 6000. If we go out to the park or something itโ€™s likely Iโ€™ll get over 10,000

how do you do 6000 steps while staying at home?

Avatar

Chasing around after & playing with my children, putting washing out, climbing the stairs when Iโ€™m putting them down/getting them up from naps, moving round the kitchen making breakfasts, lunch, dinners.
Thereโ€™s always some kind of cleaning to be done too. Iโ€™m rarely sitting down, except for their afternoon nap, thatโ€™s when I chill out for a couple of hours

I get between 2500-5000 steps per day. I work from home and sometimes in an office, but sitting for the majority of my day. My steps usually come from me doing housework.

Solely at home and inside between 3500-5000. But mine are 6 and 7 now so Iโ€™m always cleaning, chasing, playing, etc.

I usually get around 10k but only because I go on a walk everyday with my kids and Iโ€™m a busy body at home. And then in the evenings I usually go on a short-medium length run after my husband hets off work or my kids are in bed
