Daily walks give you more Weight Watchers points. Calculate your physical activity level for additional Weight Watchers points. Add 0 points if you are mostly sitting or sedentary during your day. Add 2 points if you are standing more often then sitting. If you walk daily, add 4 points, and if you are much more active throughout a typical day, add 6 points.
In the example, if the subject is 5 feet 6-inches and walks daily, the points added would be "1+4."

Add all points together to get your daily Weight Watchers points. From the example, this person would have an allowance of 33 daily Weight Watchers points, or "8+18+2+1+4=33."
