    My mother is 60, 2 months age she began walking for an hour each morning with her friends and also eating healthy but plenty no diet. She lost 15kg!!!!! Just by walking daily, I was so surprised because I always do much more complicated exercises and because they’re tough I skip them often and her, simply because of walking she lost weight and I still haven’t. There’s a lesson there 🙌🏼❤️
  • Walking combined with resistance training and good nutrition is all that is required for long term fitness and health. Sticking to the basics works best

    I have been sedentary for many years due to 19 surgeries and chronic illnesses. Last week I started walking to the end of my road and back 3 times a day . And I started eating good . I have lost 6 pounds in 6 days and I feel soooo good !!!! I feel like I am high on life . Best therapy for depression as well

    I have multiple myeloma. This is a terminal and deadly blood cancer. Last year I lost 32 pounds in a week and a half and spoke to my hematologist about hospice care. In February 2022 I noticed that I was slowly gaining weight which was a good thing. On march 23 I started power walking again. I do between 10K and 26K for now. I plan on doing another 42K marathon. I can vouch that power walking is better than running. There are a ton of benefits. When I was running my knees always hurt. Power walking solved that problem. Now I do at least one half marathon a week usually the day after chemo when I feel the worst. For me I feel so much better after. Thanks for this video. By the way, I have done almost 40 virtual races since March 23. My hemotologist is astounded.

    I have to say again, this is an excellent video. I often tell my friends and my nurses that my fitness club is free and open 24 hours a day. I like to do virtual races close by in case in have any cancer related issues. After 12 and a half full marathons and over 50 half marathons, I'm still here power walking and able to live with my cancer. 😀♥️

    Fantastic advise, breakdown simple and easy to follow, I’ve bought a fitbit and do 10k steps a day and its wonderful for depression anxiety, mood uplift, I’ve got better sleep too and feel more alert and motivated, I’m losing weight too 😊👍thanks for the video

    Walking is WAY underrated!
  • Walking and intermittent fasting have been my holy grail! There’s a virtual challenge where you “walk to Mordor,” and since my husband and I are such nerds, we’re going to do it. 😅

    I've had better results from walking plus strength training than having just done running by itself. I always found I had this uncontrollable hunger after running that I would not have had otherwise. But I understand there are people that really enjoy running and that's great everyone is different. This was great advice really enjoyed the video.

    I walk about 6 miles a day every single day and it feels great 😊

    Thanks for making this video. People love to complicate the simplest things, and YouTube videos sometimes cater to this mentality. You've cut through all the BS and have given us common sense advice and facts about walking.
