I am a technology working, so I sit on my butt most of the work day, I’m curious how people have incorporated activity into their daily habits in a sustainable way?

What activities do you find enjoyable?

    Live in a walkable area, have a dog, and don’t own a car. Everywhere I need to go, whether it’s for groceries or the pharmacy or to a coffee shop, I use my feet. Plus I take my dog for walks every day and extra long ones on the weekend. In an average week I walk several km.

      Yeah, that first one is a toughie. In the US at least, that’s only a handful of city areas. And not even the metro areas but actually w/in public transit circles. I wish more places were like that.

        Yeah I’m very lucky. It’s definitely hard to find in Canada too, but there are a few and I was lucky to get into one at a decent price.

        I recently moved to Connecticut and I didn’t realize how much I took sidewalks for granted in the different suburbs where I’ve lived before. I miss being able to just go outside and walk around the neighborhood.

        This is what it’s like in my area:

          Yeah. Moved from FL to MD and the older places have sidewalks here. I love it. Not walking in the street is great.
