I live about four miles from my workplace and although I haven't yet walked all four miles to or from work, there are a few games I play during the week to increase my stepcount.
Some days I'll take the hillier, windier, unnecessarily long route to BART (San Francisco's heavy-rail rapid transit system). Almost always, I forgo the escalator for the stairs. Today, that act alone added 5 flights of stairs and over 250 steps to my morning journey.
My other favorite "cheat" is high stepping in place. Sure, I may look a little odd bouncing up and down while typing at my makeshift standing desk, but it feels good to keep the blood flowing and the legs moving!
What do you do to get your extra steps in?

I have the Fitbit One also. I think it's pretty accurate most of the time but when I noticed it not tracking stepping in place, I watched as I moved forward and backward and it seemed stuck. Once I started walking quicker and more consistently, it started counting steps again.

You will also notice there is a slight lag when you stop to view the steps, probably 1/2 a dozen or so, all about battery saving.
You stop, look, and it appears to stop and you start stepping again, a quick look and you have increased by at least a dozen steps.

Quick question to the group - yesterday my fitbit said I had 36 active minutes but when I looked on the computer at my dashboard, it only logged 26 and never synced to 36. Has anyone else noticed this? I even logged the workout I did and didn't change the active minutes. Is there a way to do this that I am not aware of? Thanks! And thanks for all the tips! They are helping me reach my daily goal.
