How many calories you may burn standing at work versus sitting, strolling

Along these lines, I&#x27;m thinking that having larger corporate offices make the walk farther for non-handicap parking in general would be beneficial to employee health. I know that some parking lots are huge in general, but positioning entrances, and the majority of parking to effectively enforce a roughly 1&#x2F;4 mile walk would help a lot.<p>Although it was really rough at first, I worked in an office, where the closer parking lot was always full, and in a Phoenix summer, that sucked.. but as it cooled, I had forced myself to park at the far end of the overflow lot, that was farther down the road... about 1&#x2F;3 mile walk each way. My health in general improved a lot over those months working there. Although, it was a bit exhausting when I&#x27;d invariably forget my security badge in my car about once a week.<p>I&#x27;m also thinking it might be nice to have cities actually block off auto traffic on certain streets in favor of higher walking, opening areas to foot traffic over auto.
