I used to be able to walk 3 miles at a clip-- and this was as an amputee. My doctors keep trying to direct me to lowering my expectations. Sitting around on the computer all day is not how I want to live my life, despite their advice.

I do lots of things even being disabled but I wouldn't call it offsetting really. the tech compliments the other things I do beautifully and breaks up my days which are always painful or more painful. I would never have done any of this without tech or it would have been a lot harder.

I'm on my feet during the day ( lab bench work) mostly. When I go into writing mode I get restless easily because it's long periods of time just sitting or lying down. I jog, love long walks with my dog, and try going to the beach every chance I get to play with the waves. I'm a big sucker for salsa social, and attend every chance I get. I'd say I'm more of a busy body than couch potato, but there are days when I merge with the couch, catch up on the shows I've neglected, and eat everything in sight.

I'm a mailman who walks fourteen miles a day some days so I have no problem in that department!

6 days a week at the gym is my offset. However, I do need to hit the trails more..

I was an office worker for most of my life, but surfed or did farm work on weekends, now I am outdoors 3 hours 1st thing in the morning and last thing at night, I work outdoors 2 days a week. I still spend too much time on the PC, don't do television though.

I take three walks a day with total average miles of 8-10 miles per day. Inspired by my daughter I will also resume my daily workout. However, unlike her I will not be entering a global competition for the well toned and superfit.

I get up every hour or so and walk around. I also row, lift, run on an elliptical or exercise in some way 6 days a week.

I try to practice my taekwondo every day, if I sit too long parts of my body spasm and go numb.

If I can't practice I at least work on my stretching

I am 67 and have many scars to show an active life. Used to always think about being in shape but not to the point of losing life and my loves. But always active working around the house and stuff. I built a woodshop but the things I have done mean nothing , rather it is the willingness to understand my aged limits but not at all, never , give up trying to do something that is fantastic

Gym, work with a trainer, try to walk at least 3 miles each day.

Thankfully the Military has me working out at least three times a week. Other then that I run, hike and ride my bicycle.

I have 7 shih tzus and everybody walks everyday.On a good day I go about 5 miles, on a bad day I go about 10 miles. Plus my job has me standing for 8+ hours a day. Plus all the chores around the house (I'm single). I'd kill to sit down for more than 5 minutes.

I get up and walk around the office a bit, but that's pretty minimal. When the weather is nicer (i.e., not during the five-and-a-half months of winter here), I'll sometimes take a long walk around town on my lunch break. It's not much, but it's something.

if I'm sitting and suddenly feel the urge to stand I usually go lay down until it passes.

Its difficult. An object in motion tends to stay in motion but if in sitting on my butt playing video games I tend to remain there

Walk here, walk there, walk everywhere

Haven't turned on the TV in weeks

I have to. Fine days a week writing software. One day a week on my feet for 8-12 hours volunteering. One day recovering from volunteer day. My body can't take the extremes. I need to do more during the week to counteract the sedentariness.

Yes! I get up every 30 minutes and walk around the building. I also try and stand when I am at the computer.

Try to, have a Garmin Vivofit that tells me when I've been on my ass too long. I try to get up and move every hour until it says I'm cool. Try to get at lease 4 miles in a day and other stuff too. What about you SE?

Professional driver here must go for walks daily to stay alive lol try to get in shape enough to jog more

Well, the cleanest bathrooms where I work are up on the 2nd floor, so I do a couple flights of stairs now and then. I'm VERY LUCKY to have stayed a healthy weight without trying. I suffer from an autoimmune illness that often makes moving a real pain in the everything. I get by thanks to super strong opioid pain meds (go Fuck yourself FDA/DEA). Other than walking a few blocks to my parking area and walking my dogs, I'm making my living sitting down (that was once a sign of success!).

Nope I have a physical job and find it to be all the exercise I need.

Who has a sedentary lifestyle?
