How much walking do you do in a normal day — are you on your feet a lot, or mostly sitting?

B Natural answer

My day is a mix, but I spend a lot of time at a computer, so I'm definitely mostly sitting for work. Still, I try not to stay there too long. I stand up, refill my water, and do a few steps in the hallway every hour. I also make time for a brisk walk in the evening, usually twenty minutes or so. If I'm working from home, I sometimes take calls while walking around the room, which helps me feel more awake. Overall, I'm not on my feet all day, but I don't sit still all the time either.
