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

A natural way to answer

Honestly, not enough. I sit for most of the day, so I've started getting off the bus a stop early to squeeze in a bit of a walk. It's small, but it makes me feel less sluggish.

Key phrases to use

• adds up — (of small amounts) gradually combines into something significant“All those short walks really add up.”
