$1/minute sleeping and $0.06/step taken.

This gives you 8x60x$1 = $480/night or 10000x$0.06= $600 a day for the recommended 10k steps a day.

    Steps. I walk fuckin everywhere. Walked 30K steps last Saturday, 10K steps a day most days. I’d have earned minimum $600 a day just for my daily commute for the last six months.

    I haven’t slept eight hours in god knows how many years.

    I used to get paid £0.06 per tree planted.

    I’d definitely take the steps payment as I still have an active job.

    Last job I was walking 20k+ steps a day

    Sleep. My health problems can confine me to bed for some time with little walking.

    With all that money maybe I can find out why!

    Sleep. I need to sleep anyway, I do not have to walk 10k steps. So basically safe money vs. maybe money .

      And nobody said only 8h. One could sleep 10h and earn same as 10k steps a day. Take couple of naps during a day and add to income.

    Walking. I would immediately make plans to walk the Appalachian trail and the PCT. You would get paid around ~300,000 dollars to walk the Appalachian trail and ~480,000 dollars to walk the PCT. 2 hours a day on a treadmill at 3mph would garner you ~800 dollars a day. Fit and rich sounds like a great plan.

    I’d choose to walk. I can make even more running so there is room for growth. While I can only sleep a max of (if you sleep the whole day) $1440 a day.

    Playing a sport for fun will earn you a lot of money all while simply exercising.

        You could also become an Insomniac. Idk, I think old people are told to keep moving for as long as possible. I’d hope one would have saved for rainy day funds and retirement.

        I think this is a question that similar to capitalism or socialism. Work an avg amount or work for what you get.

      It’s mid-afternoon and I’m already at 8,672 steps, just from housework and a half-hour walk. I don’t think you have to be an extraordinarily active person to reach 10k steps in a day. Barring disability it’s a very achievable goal.

    I don’t take a lot of steps. Even when I’m walking for a day, people with me get literally thousands more steps recorded. So absolutely sleep. I need about 510 min sleep a night. It would pay more than my current job, that’s for sure!

    I also prefer to do things other than walking/running for exercise, and I don’t have the recovery capacity or energy to do heavy squats, high intensity cardio, and also get in 8500 steps a day. When I go to the office, I’m lucky to break 3000 steps!

    Steps for sure. Just walked 20k steps at work, that’s $1200 vs the 6 hrs I slept which would only be $360.

    Sleep! Because I have a disability that limits my ability to walk. And that disability makes me so damn tired that I sleep a lot
