My last travel contract, the unit I worked was nuts, which resulted in me running all day. I actually developed shin splints working there.
I borrowed a friend's pedometer and wore it to work for two shifts.
I don't know how accurate it was, but it said I walked 38 miles the first shift, and 42 the second! (16 hr shifts).
I do know I ran my rear off at that job.
Anybody else ever wear a pedometer to work?
If so, what were your miles at the end of the day?
I have used several and they all said I walked an average of 6-8 miles a day at work.I quit doing it because it depressed me because I was still fat!!! How can someone be fat when they walk that much :)
I know the feeling! Probably because we are not maintaining a heart rate at the exercise level the whole time. Plus, the stress of work can cause a lot of cortisol release, which encourages weight gain.
At least that's what I'm thinking.
