> Burning 1,000 calories is a lot of physical movement.

Divide that by 7 days per week and it’s only 142 calories per day.

The average person can burn that many calories walking a mile or mile and half. If you take your phone and answer emails while walking you’ll get there.

Some of the estimates in this thread claiming 10 mile runs are necessary are way, way off the mark.

I think most people who are in jobs where they have to answer emails would be better off, physically as well as mentally, by unplugging and learning to be connected to their surroundings, at least for that mile walk.
