$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.
Absolutely steps.
$600 x 365 is $219k a year. I’d quit my job and become a full-time walker/hiker.
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.
But an injury or smth. Plus you can’t necessarily walk your entire life, or at the same rate anyways. Have to with sleep
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.
Sleep. $500 a day is quite a pretty penny
Steps for sure. Just walked 20k steps at work, that’s $1200 vs the 6 hrs I slept which would only be $360.
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. 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.
Steps. Give me an extra incentive to practice healthy habits.
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
Over the past year, I averaged 10,896 steps a day. To get paid the same in sleep, I would have to sleep 10.896 hours a day. There’s no way that I could enjoy life and sleep for almost half of it. Steps is the easy choice.
As long as I don’t have to sleep MORE and get paid for the sleep I’m required to do to live, definitely sleep, no brainer. The thing I hate most about sleep is that I’m not doing anything while I sleep.
After a lot of back-and-forth with myself: sleeping. There have been times I’ve been injured or sick or overworked and didn’t do much walking, but I need to sleep every day. Plus it’ll be nice to have some guaranteed income when I’m old and bedridden.
Steps - sleep can be hit-or-miss for me but steps are something I can actively increase, plus it’s healthy.
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
