What she said……. 1. Track your steps(Samsung ring,Apple Watch etc). 2. Increase your incline. 3. Nordic walking(Using walking stick). 4. Walking vest(Or use ankle, hand weights). 5. Add intervals(Add interval training, running🏃‍♂️‍➡️). 6. Increase your speed. 7. Change your terrain(Walking on sand, snow, stairs) - Dial in your nutrition for weight loss, start with protein then veggies 🥕🥦🥒 - Make tracking macros simple.

For those of us in hot climates where its 86 degrees at 6 am, and too hot to go outside, i am using app called walk at home for summer months. They incorporate other movements too so its not so boring and some videos add small handweights and resistance bands. I watch tv or youtube videos during the walk at home workout. Its been great to keep my walking habit i learned from chalene.

I started walking in July of 2023. I managed to walk 60 minutes for 355 days out of 365. Everything about my body has changed. Even my arms looked toned again. I walk at gym because I like being able to increase incline and speed, plus it’s 110* 5 months a year where I live. I didn’t try and lose any weight but. Dropped from 120# to 110#. Haven’t felt this good in years!

[@ellec1009]

Thanks! Great tips. I dont think enough ppl know that you cannot walk the same steps, same level, and expect to lose weight. At some point, you will not challenge your body and you will plateau, even if you keep walking. I love the idea of different terrains. When my husband and i walk, we stop at the benches and he does push ups and i do squats. This helps to improve our walk and make it more of a workout.

[@chalenejohnson]

I couldn’t agree more! It’s important to change things up to avoid a plateau. You and your husband are doing amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@debbietaylor9241]

Another, yet pricey option if, like me, you don’t want to exercise outside: I bought a Nordic Track treadmill which has a large ‘tv’ screen connected to IFIT. I’ve had it a few years now and I just love it. The user works out with many trainers in pre-recorded videos, all around the world. This month I’ve power walked Italy, Guatemala, and now I’m travelling through Columbia! I consistently walk at 6 km/hour now and walk a minimum of an hour a day. There are so many scenic uphill hikes - you can climb Kilimanjaro or the Swiss Alps. And you’re with a trainer all the time, adjusting the incline and tempo to the terrain or the type of workout. Interval workouts are common. All in the privacy of your home. I’d feel silly power walking in public where I live. The treadmills are pricey $$$$ but to me it has been worth every penny. The whole family uses it - particularly in winter. IFIT is just outstanding.

[@chalenejohnson]

That sounds like a fantastic investment! This treadmill seems perfect for those who prefer indoor workouts. Traveling the world virtually while exercising is a great way to stay motivated. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@mem68sf]

I have the same treadmill and I agree, worth every penny!

Hi, we are a group of women, in their 70s who have been walking about 4+ years early in the morning. Until recently, we got ten thousand plus steps in about 1 1/2 hours to almost 2 depending. We include inclines in our walks. Two of us started using and sticks a couple years ago but I gave up after an accident whereas I tripped and I think the sticks n my clumsy self were involved but there were other obstacles too that day. I broke my shoulder in two places so I stopped using them but i loved them. The other lady still uses hers and loves them. She really challenges herself and recently achieved 30 thousand and other days in her 20 thousand. The fact that I get up at 5 am and out walking by 6 is enough of a challenge for me. Hot wave in CA dictates early am walking. Costco sells the sticks btw.

[@chalenejohnson]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident! I hope your shoulders have recovered. You are still doing great by keeping up with your morning your walks! Keep it going!!! 💪🏻

[@sandyroloff1075]

@@chalenejohnson thx, from that experience, I will offer this suggestion, the trekking poles have straps at the top where you can slip your hands through. My suggestion, do not put your hands through but simply grasp the pole. The reason is, if you trip on anything for any reason, you can throw the poles down as you regain your balance but if your hands are in those straps, those poles can become an impediment and really get in your way. Chances of that happening, probably small but just a suggestion. You might really enjoy them as I did. Just have a small phobia now, lol.

TOP TIP: for anyone who can't afford a weighted vest or ankle weights, do what I do - get a cheap rucksack and put a couple of house bricks in it and wear that on your walk! I started with one brick, progressed to two then three, and am now up to four bricks and boy, does it make your walk more challenging!! CHALENE: would you do a video on the types of shoes, trainers that are best for walking? I don't necessarily mean brands - just the TYPE OF SHOE that's best for your foot health. Thank you.

[@chalenejohnson]

That’s a great idea! Just be careful with your posture to avoid any injuries when using the rucksack with bricks. I'll def look into this topic for you! Thank you for suggesting!

I absolutely adore your videos. It's truly inspirational to see. As a 35-year-old Mom of two small children, my long-term goal is to be as active and balanced as possible. I had an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise in my 20s as a competitive cross-country runner. The pressure to keep getting leaner and faster eventually lead to injury and metabolic damage. Pregnancy was the straw on the camel's back and I got up to 170 pounds. I've lost about 20 of that since healing, strength training, walking, then adding a weighted vest as of recently. All of these tips I got from you. I can't thank you enough. I always had a good hold on cravings, but exercising "smarter", taking account cortisol and stress was the missing link.

[@chalenejohnson]

Thank you so much for your kind words, doll! I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve found my tips helpful and that you’re making such amazing progress.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

There is so much to unpack in this video! I started using walking sticks often on very early in life because of a traumatic injury to my left ankle when I was 19. At some point, I got rid of them. at age 68 I’ve gone back to using them often times because of a knee injury, all body boarding and advanced osteoarthritis in both my knees. It’s actually shocking how much pressure they take off your knees! Because of you Chalene, I bought a walking vest on Amazon. I’ve not received it yet, but looking forward to trying it out. 50 years ago I used to walk everywhere with ankle weights on and attribute the healing of my crushed left ankle and leg to ankle weights. My son bought me a walking pad for Mother’s Day! Within a couple weeks even at max speed of 4.8 I found was not enough. My husband has an incline board so I popped the front up on the first level and what a difference! I believe the numbers are speed per mile. If you’re walking over 5.0 that’s crazy! That would be running for me! ❤

Just a word of caution taking bigger strides in order to speed up. Do it in intervals and progressively. I walked with someone who is much taller (I am not even 5 feet tall) so I tried to catch up taking big strides throughout the walk. At the end of the 6km walk, my toes became numb. When I got home, 2 of my toenails had turned purple and I had to rest for 2-3 days. Still waiting for the blackened toenails to grow out!

Please share where ya got them or the brand (hopefully not Amsterdam kinda of a hike to grab a pair of boots ya know. ) Lol ❤Thank you for inspiring all of us in our age group (55+) to keep going. 🦋You’re amazing… (awesome candor), totally crushing it, & look fantastic!👱‍♀️😊

[@amandaj3056]

Walking through lockdown kept me sane ( I’m maybe a little crazy like you Chalene 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣) but one day I hit over 50,000 steps. Not bad for a “fine wine”……60 years young 😂and walking in The Cañarían sunshine daily. Thank you. I just LOVE LOVE your podcasts 🩷

[@chalenejohnson]

OMG!!! You are a beast! I love this so much!! #goals

[@ChittarupaYoga]

That's awesome. Walking is so fundamental and good for you.

[@heathervice639]

Chalene! Just can’t do the walking sticks 😂 but I love that you are looking for all options for people

[@chalenejohnson]

I feel you lol

[@jlrowan1973]

I've had poles for years but only used them hiking or walking our hunting land. Last December, I tore my ACL and when I was ready to start walking again, I sucked it up and used them on my walks. I got over being self-conscious after I saw the difference in the quality of my workout metrics! Higher calorie burn, upper body workout, higher heart rate...perfect for getting a good workout when you can't walk super fast or long. Now I'm using a weighted vest AND the poles for an even better workout. (Still waiting to see weight loss tho 😞)

[@beachs7210]

I completely get the obsession with tracking the workout! I have quit runs because my watch wasn’t tracking right or it died 😂. It’s so stupid, but I feel like if it isn’t tracking my run or walk, it didn’t happen. I love your videos, always motivating me!

[@chalenejohnson]

Saaame!! But don't let it get it to you too much, it might stress you out lol

[@desert_moon]

Great info!!! I've been tracking steps since the 90s when it was a big deal to get 5k steps a day lol. I try to get a minimum of 10k a day and often far exceed that (double+).

[@ewoolwine]

Ha, that’s me!! I get bummed when I don’t have my Apple Watch with me to track my steps. I’ll run back to my house to get it from the charger so I can “get credit”. 😅

[@lz8484]

This is such a great video, I didn't realize there are walking vests, I've got to get one!

[@chalenejohnson]

It's amazing!! You can watch this video to help you get used to wearing a weighted vest - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJqkdXeVmr6rnpo

[@susantustin3827]

I just found you on utupe I'm 69 and from Canada love Listening to you today.Well , definitely watch more of your videos

[@nanadoctrove5590]

All great tips , I choose a different routes, and always end with a minute walking backwards

[@alexandraalonzo7095]

Awesome video! I can’t wait to have my Mom watch it, especially the part about the walking sticks!

[@chalenejohnson]

Thank you for watching!

[@lindsaylovesit]

Thank you! All great info. So many talk about VO2 max and zone 2, walking, etc. but they don’t give details about how long and combining those things with resistance training/HIIT workouts. I’d live a video about coming up with a formula to figure out how to create the ideal schedule. Don’t get me wrong, I workout everyday but I’m trying to keep cortisol levels down while building muscle and improving VO2 max and managing hormones! I’m 46 btw… wife and mom of 4:)

[@chalenejohnson]

I'll work on a video about this for you 😘

[@lindsaylovesit]

@@chalenejohnson awesome! Thank you so much for the quick reply as well:). Have a great day!

[@StephanieYL87]

Chalene. Can I just say that I miss your Jam'd shorts you did with turbo Jam. Been a fan of yours for many many years. I still do turbo Jam and I do piyo at times. Always trying to improve my health because it's a yoyo for me for sure.

[@bonniedavis7498]

I had some Nordic walking sticks that you inspired me to pull out and learn to use properly. My friends had ordered some too, and we called them "Dorkdic" walking sticks.😂😂😂😂😂 they have since gotten rid.of theirs but I'm gonna use them, you feel it in your triceps

[@jaimeclemens6216]

So much great info!! Thank you for sharing this. Also your top is so pretty!!

[@chalenejohnson]

Thank you so much!

[@dawnakent1151]

Whats the best walking shoe?

[@franciscachesca]

Can't believe you are in my country in my favorite city. Hope you enjoy The Netherlands 💚

[@michy2630]

So interesting about the walking sticks. I thought they were for balance

[@chalenejohnson]

I was also surprised when I found out!

[@noodlep2547]

Chalene, I've just watched a Thomas DeLauer where he highlights a study where 2 groups did walks that burned 300 calories, but one group walked at a slower pace than the other and burned more fat and lost more weight than the faster paced group. There are just so many ways to approach walking; perhaps rotating through the different methods will stop plateaus, and keep results coming?

[@chalenejohnson]

That's so interesting! Yes, it we should change it up to avoid hitting plateaus!

[@TheFireStationHubBathNC]

Wanna look weird… have you seen the Friends show with Phoebe and Rachel jogging? LOL 🏃‍♀️

[@chalenejohnson]

😂😂😂

[@shelleyhodgkinson1341]

Totally agree woth everything except the ankle weights..its not a great plan if you have knee issue. Important to take care of the joints

[@chalenejohnson]

Yes, it really depends on your current condition.. Always always listen to your body

[@tprevite]

LOL!!! The 'turning around'. LOL! That is SO ME! I HATE turning around. I prefer loops but you can't always find a loop to walk.

[@chalenejohnson]

right?!? But we just muster up the courage to do it lol

[@MsVitaMaria]

Yes, I’m one of those that hasn’t lost any pounds but I don’t also weigh, but I can figure out whether or not I’ve changed my body composition by my clothes and how they fit and nothings really changed.

[@user-dn1pj3db2k]

I use a ring I got off of Amazon. It’s the Nova Ring and it is awesome. It was $132 I believe.

[@ChittarupaYoga]

Some interesting information here. Thanks for this.

[@chalenejohnson]

Glad it was helpful!

[@micheledi5032]

A lot of great information Chalene

[@chalenejohnson]

Glad you think so! Thank you for watching!

[@jeanniekirby596]

Great info and inspiration! I’m going to lace up and go! Need to get a ring to track my steps. I have a cleaning business and do 2 houses a day so I’m curious.

[@chalenejohnson]

You got this!

[@littleitaly1925]

So Good!!! Thank you!! Have you ever had a pinched nerve in you upper back / arm, if so, what did you do for relief? 😅

[@michy2630]

Chalene -what back pack do you use when traveling? Love this helpful video

[@chalenejohnson]

I don't use a bag pack but I use this one - amzn.to/3CiPtIR
