$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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Anyone saying steps is stupid. With sleep, you’re still making money if you’re sick, if you’re injured, if you’re lazy. And if you absolutely must increase your income, you can pursue ordinary work during the day without threatening your other income stream.

    Also, actual average steps per day are in the 4k to 7k range. $240-$420. If you’re not already an extraordinarily active person, how long do you expect you can keep your effort up? Will it really be a permanent change in habit once you get financially comfortable?

      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.

    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!
