Taking more than 8,200 steps a day – the equivalent of walking around four miles – was found to protect against the likes of obesity, sleep apnoea, high blood pressure and major depressive disorder by Wagamaga

Bring a light? Wear a reflective vest? Walking still works after the sun goes down.

If not treadmill?

There are some pretty affordable ones out there.

Maybe a gym treadmill. Planet fitness about $10 a month. You're inside, relatively safe.

It really is a good idea. I have a simple no frills treadmill at home. On days I'm not slowjogging I just walk for around 45 minutes on an incline. That's 5,000 steps give or take at a leisurely pace. If you WFH you can fit in 45 minutes for sure.
