7. Waiters and waitresses walk twice as much as lawyers and police officers do on an average working day.
But servers walk only about half as much on an average working day as mail carriers, and about 75 percent as much as janitors. According to researchers with the American Council on Exercise, who highly recommend the use of pedometers, mail carriers walk about eight miles per day, janitors walk just over five, restaurant servers walk four, and cops and lawyers walk about two. According to the ACE study, secretaries walk the least, at 1.7 miles.

We exercise and don't even know it . All the little things add up like taking the garbage to the curve or choosing to walk the inside McDonald's instead of drive through. The small little activities will add up and if you have a walk o meter you will see how much you walk. Take the steps to help you more fit and happy :)
