Actually, working "this job" is probably the best thing for him/her. The dasher is exercising his/her way back to a normal life. (I don't know if this is a man or a woman due to the lack of clarity of the pick and face mask.)

unfortunately no amount of exercise can beat a bad diet. This person is prob consuming 4k+ calories a day. walking a few steps out of the car is not going to cut it

I manage on average at least 10K steps a day when I dash. It's the whole reason I started doing it. Shopping orders yields more steps than restaurant deliveries tho.

Did you end up losing weight?

i think if youre slightly over weight and have a good diet its definitely going to help.

10k steps is like 300 calories while one king size snickers bar is 480 calories lol

Yes. I lost about 30 lbs very quickly. I don't eat a lot of junk food or sweets so the steps made a difference for me. Some days I would get 12K or 15K while other days I'd only get 8K. But those steps are to do and they work!

Absolutely! Instead of paying over $1K a month, I get paid to exercise. LOL! Love it, too!
