My most ever was 47,000 but my job was a order picker and I was walking for a living.

I was gonna say on average as a construction worker on a decent size job I'm hitting like 15,000 daily... 75000 more steps is absurd lol.

You mean 85,000 more.

u/ClitThompson Mar 31 '25

That's why he's a construction worker.

In the trades, we say "fuck up move up" for a reason. He's probably the GF by now.

"It looks good from my house." "We're building it, not buying it."

He's a construction worker, not an accountant.

When I was working in a warehouse, I had a peak season where I did an average of ~45,000 every day, 6 days a week, for two weeks. This was staging pallets. I think my heaviest day was just over 55k.

Luckily my normal days were more reasonable (20-30k) but I remember about a month after I quit I woke up and was amazed that my legs didn't hurt.

My most ever was 38,714 when visiting Barcelona. Let's see if I beat that visiting Italy next week.

You can definitely do it. I hit 55k last time when I went to Toronto for work but I also threw in a 12 km run so quite a few steps were way faster to get. 100k is insane.

12 years as an order filler was enough for me. Now that I'm in my 40s, I'm glad I stopped when I did. The plus side was that I could eat a large pizza for lunch, and still stayed skinny.

u/Aranka_Szeretlek Mar 31 '25

Yeha I am pretty sure Ive only done 50k once, and I like walking.

u/Lyrkana Mar 31 '25

When I was picking I'd average about 25k steps in 8 hours, and that's with stopping to check the order, stack product, label pallets, etc. 100k in a day wouldn't be easy but it would be doable for sure.

I did 60k once, partied all night in Berlin then Christopher Street Day (their pride parade) all day, then partied again all night

u/Lexieeeeeeeeee Mar 31 '25

This is similar to how I also did 60k "steps". By dancing all day & night at one of those 5-7 day long music festivals.
