Walk to work instead of driving?

  This. I know many folks who have a 30min - hour commute each way (pre-pandmaic). If they lived a bit closer, and spent that time walking to/from work instead of driving, there you go.

  Pre-COVID and WFH becoming normal, I had a short commute. Only 6 miles. Many places, walking to work is a joke.

    Well, 6 miles sounds about right for a 30min bike commute to work. Do that each way and you’ll have a daily hour of exercise without having to step foot in a gym.

  But walking is rather easy and does not really count as demanding exercise, at least if there's almost no elevation change. Also, I only need about 12-13 minutes for my walk to work, so I get only 25 per day - surely better than nothing but not enough to really counter work sitting at a desk 8 to 10 hours a day.
