I'm right there with you. I am figuratively tied to my desk for 8 hours 
a day. Not to mention that, when I come home there are other things, 
like checking this email listserve, :-) that involve sitting. lol I find 
my self with, at most, 3200 by the end of the work day. Some days it is 
as little as 2000. This is a long way to get to 10000 by the end of the 
day and still accomplish all the things that you need to do at home. I 
try to walk during breaks at work, and during lunch, once I've finished 
eating. But, those times just don't add up to much. I am really 
interested in how folks that consistently get over 1000 steps do it, 
especially while working.
