How do you find time to walk 10 miles a day? You must spend almost 3 and a half hours a day to achieve that.

I'm between "real" jobs. I do 5 miles in the morning (90 minutes), 45 minutes after lunch and the rest in the evening. It takes 3hrs of my day. That's why I'm adding indoor cycling. It takes about half the time to burn the same amount of calories. I discussed that in another blog: https://h4labs.wordpress.com/2015/08/27/apple-watch-8-weeks-...

Yesterday, my Apple Watch had me at 1600 active calories. I cycled for an hour and walked just under 10 miles.

So the key to reducing job burnout is... not having a job?

I'm an indie iOS developer :-). Yeah, not having a real job is nice but I actually put on 20lbs. When I worked I kept a regular schedule.

It's hard to believe there still aren't enough hours in the day. I don't think I've ever had job burnout. However,I did get a little tired of working on my little app.

In other words "3.5 hours a day of free time each day for exercise" might be the key to reducing burnout.

Your mileage may vary. I was over 230lbs and I'm almost 50. I hope to get back under 200lbs. Gotta do whatever it takes.

I've simply been on a mission since July 6th to get back into shape. It's not forever. I'm simply explaining that I feel much better and more relaxed than 2.5 months ago. If you're in halfway decent shape just run. A slow 3 mile jog always felt great. Hopefully I'll be back to that sometime this year.

I work a software engineering job, and manage on average 1.5 hours a day of exercise, on top of relaxation time in the evenings. The trick is to get it done in the morning when you don't miss the timr

Why not run? You could presumably run a fraction of that in a very small fraction of the time and achieve equal or greater benefits to your health.

Even jogging eliminates most of the (overstated) health risks of consistent running (e.g. joint issues).

Not the parent, but some simply prefer walking as an activity, and aren't concerned about optimizing how much distance is squeezed into a unit of time. A long, slow walk provides plenty of meaningful benefits that running and jogging may not.

Additionally, for people who experience joint issues, I'm sure the risks aren't at all overstated.

People aren't considering that the current thinking is that exercise might not be enough to make up for all the sitting that we do: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/regular-exercis...

By trying to walk a certain number of calories daily, you might be healthier.

That's definitely an important point to be mindful of.

I was also attempting to target those of us who simply enjoy the process and outcomes of a walk, and don't get the same benefits from running or jogging. When I run or jog, which is rare because I detest it (but love spending serious time lifting and training other ways), I'm always focused on my body, on pushing myself, on my breathing, etc.

When I walk, I can go forever and forget about my body. I get lost in thinking, reflecting, processing, etc. Walking is pure joy. Sure, it has positive physical effects. But I particularly seek the peace of mind that comes from going on walks. It's something I enjoy so much, I often pick my travel destinations based on how much walking I can do while exploring a new place. Walking has long been almost like meditation for me.

Because I recently put on a bit of weight. Every time I tried running my feet would hurt for a couple days.

The goal is to lose 25 pounds then try another C25k again.

Twenty years ago I could just go out 4 days a week and run a little farther every day. I could drop 20lbs in a few months.

Most people can walk 10 miles a day (you might get a big blister like me) without a problem.
