"Walking is the best medicine" - Hippocrates
Walking is essential for good health. Walking research is very clear. If you take a 30-minute walk each day, your heart will be dramatically healthier. As you walk, your heart pumps in a nice and relaxed manner, circulating oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. When your body is receiving this vital oxygen-rich blood and nutrients, your body and tissues stay younger and healthier. The benefits of walking for exercise are infinite.
Is walking for losing weight effective? A 30-minute walk can boost your metabolism for up to 12 hours after the walk! Pairing a healthy diet with a 30-minute walk can help you lose weight without exercise. Additional benefits of walking include strengthening your bones and improving your attention and memory.
Taking a walk after eating a meal is a great idea. Walking helps to decrease the blood sugar spike that happens after eating a meal. Start taking a walk every day and let us know how you feel in the comments below! 👇

In 2020, I was over 300 pounds. Back then I could barely walk 1000 steps for 10 minutes and feel winded afterwards. I saw multiple videos about the benefits of walking. I started to walk for my health. Today I am the healthiest I have ever been. I have lost over 100 pounds. There are days I can walk 16,000 steps. I sleep better. My mood has greatly improved. I am more confident.

No more chasing balls and quick reversals. Very bad for dogs' knees and hips. At least half the walk is on grass. Some slow jogging. I'm 72. I live on a hill, so every walk includes up and down. My total time per day: 2 hours. Even during COVID. Nobody dares stop me. Lolol Oh, yes. I did get a bit sick once in April. Don't know if it was COVID.

I added walking to my daily exercise program and without dieting in any way I moved from 275 pounds to presently 220 pounds in only 6 months. I dropped from size 42 pants to 38 and may be moving to size 36 soon. My mental focus has become very clear, I no longer suffer from depression, my blood pressure was high when I started but has normalized to about 131 over 70 taken just a few days ago. My breathing has improved and the oxygen level in my body has become very good, Even my eyesight is improving and my sense of smell and taste is increasing I find that my taste buds reject foods that are not good for me -- i don't think about it -- it just happens. I find myself craving apples for instance, and I never really cared for them before walking. I have people who are overweight ask me how I lost so much. I tell them all I did was added walking to my daily habits. For some reason people reject the idea and think you have to follow rigid diets etc. And lots of people will say walking is good for you BUT THEY DON'T DO IT.. Lol And they wonder why theiy stay overweight and havae so many health probllems.

I started walking regularly after my surgery and it had an amazing effect, leading to my speedy recovery. I also lost pounds and got slimmer, coupled with the healthy foods I started eating. But this video explains clearly and thoroughly why walking is such a beneficial form of exercise! I shared it immediately with my family and friends!

[@FitMotherProject]

Awesome my friend! Thank you very much 🙏

[@luckystarz4444]

Getting out, going for a brisk walk, getting some fresh air and taking in the sun is one of my favorite things to do. 😊🚶‍♀️🌳🌞

How old are you? I'm in my 50s and I don't think my legs can do that. I walk 3 miles a day almost every day for years but I legs keep reminding me that I should not do more than that. They feel very tired after the walks.

Just found out yesterday that my headaches are due to high blood pressure that I didn't know I had... this morning I went for a brisk 20 minute walk around my neighborhood. This will be my new normal because hbp runs in my family and I refuse to need pills. Thank you for this video ❤

Awesome my friend! Keep it up...walking is one of the best things you can do for your health💪 😊

[@406annie]

I just found your channel and subscribed. I appreciate your direct, no-fluff information, backed up by science. After a lot of inactivity this past year, and knowing I needed to make some changes, I acquiesced to my adult son’s invitation to walk together. It was difficult at first, and I insisted on staying close to home so I could stop when I was tired. We live in a hilly area, and that was challenging. We now walk nearly every day - from 2 to 7 miles, depending on our schedules. Hes wanted to walk after dinner, and I have not been willing; I guess you’ve changed my mind. My son is a huge inspiration to me; he almost never sits. In fact, he often eats his meals while standing and walking, coming back to his food after a few minutes. We live in Montana, and I’m already thinking about what I’ll do when winter comes; I don’t want to walk on icy streets. Guess I’ll have to join a gym with a walking track. Thanks again for the great information and inspiration.

At 70 years old I walk 4.5 miles each day. Been a type 1 diabetic for 55.5 years.

[@elenbrandt290]

I walked over 11 miles today... I am over 70. A lot of it was hills. I am on track to do 225 miles this month. Four months ago I couldn't walk to the corner mailbox without being winded and tired.... oh yes, walking works. I walk hard and fast and feel alive again. If I can do it, anyone can.

[@FitMotherProject]

Awesome my friend! Walking is one of the best things for your health. Keep it up! 🙌

[@martinanaidoo2539]

I have reintroduced myself to walking. My father was a serious walker until age 87. When lockdown laws were relaxed, i gathered some of my friends, ages 45 - 60 yrs old. South Africa Cape has the most beautiful nature-walks on our door steps. We walk (with masks and physical distancing rules ) everyday. It is at that point that there is no controlling the craving to walk. We are all getting fitter, calmer and healthier overall. We attest to your findings. So we walk between 7.5km and 14 km per day. But, the inner voice will always tell you what nature has to offer.

[@Better2BFree]

Be EXTREMELY careful with wearing the mask!!!!!!!!!!!! It will impair your oxygen intake and increase your intake of carbon dioxide!!!!!!!! There are numerous videos demonstrating the dangers of wearing the mask. In fact, there is such a video on KZbin where an OSHA approved device is used to reveal how the mask lowers you oxygen intake!!!!!!!

[@stephannielandell7173]

Hey there from California. visited Capetown @ NYE 2 years ago. Most beautiful natural landscapes on earth!

[@jbird1777]

This video about walking for 30 minutes was great! I learned a lot new things and definitely recommend checking it out.

[@katiehunter1488]

I agree. Walking is very important for the body to digest. Taking a walk for 30 minutes is very essential because it gets the oxygen into the body. This video definitely helps me to learn more about the benefit of walking for 30 minutes.

[@shabchique7149]

Thanks doc!

[@LynnePaulocsak]

Excellent video!! I've seen many videos on walking and this was by far the best!!

[@Hippy2021]

I walk since the past 50 years, 2 hours everyday split in 2times morning and evening. Never got any flu or cold for many decades even working in the office with many sick co-workers around during cold season. I keep walking till I die. Now there is a threat with pandemic, I even increase a longer walk, and walk like a Maniac, average 1 mile/15 minutes that give me average 9 to 10 miles a day. And That the only happy moment of the day as we have nothing to do. No one can guess my age. Very informative, very educational this video. Thank you ❣️

[@danielbedoni4844]

I've tried walking early in the morning or late in the evening (from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m.), and for me walking in the morning has been making my day more productive. I don't know how to explain, but I end up doing more things...

[@FitMotherProject]

Awesome my friend! Keep it up 🙌

Try Vajrasana after meals. You can google it. Great for digestion.

Great video, thanks!

[@lin2thez341]

Best motivation for me - my dog! I'm very stiff in the morning (to the point of having difficulty tying my shoes) but feel great when I get back. And then I take her out after dinner. There are times when I truly do not want to walk but she gets me going.

[@debabratadas8774]

So does mine 😊

[@charlesgallagher8147]

lin2theZ my dog has a built in clock for her walk everyday

[@winbri5]

Watch the movie Forks over Knives. It might help you with that stiffness.

Try Epsom salt baths before bedtime!😊

I recently met a lovely 86 year old woman who walks on the beach at a pretty good clip every single morning at 5:30am for an hour with her 3 big dogs. She's been doing this for the last 17 years. She looks AMAZING and she's smart as a whip. She still works 6 days a week teaching English online because she loves it so much.

[@FitMotherProject]

Amazing Susan, very inspiring 😊

[@angelaortiz7874]

Thanks for the video

[@aeromedical6750]

We’ve always heard the benefits of walking, but this video really brings it home. I really had no idea walking had this many health benefits. I do more hiking than walking, and I definitely see and feel the benefits. I am going to start incorporating daily walking for at least 30 minutes. I have no excuses. I live in a community with plenty of sidewalks that allow you to get in a 2-3 mile walk without having to be on the streets.

[@FitMotherProject]

Awesome my friend! Keep it up 🙏

[@robyroby1902]

Lovely listening to you while I'm walking in Rome to go to work 😊 I've started doing it during lockdown instead of taking the subway and.... I've been doing it every day since then. 1 hour to go and 1 to come back. Adding a bit of exercise in the early morning (15 min) and I'm in a perfect shape like when I was working out at the gym for hours!!

[@mamahenscatholicteaching]

You need to do a fit grandmothers too❣️ I really like how you put in the science in being a retired nurse. Because recently finding out that weights are more important than cardiovascular for weight loss yours convinces me both are important. And just from watching this video I decided after my prayer. In the morning which is about 5 to 6 AM I’m going to start walking for 30 minutes. I’m not Sure how long it takes me to walk to the park where there’s a lake I can walk around but tomorrow morning I’m about to find out and my mother and my son walked around the same lake and being in Florida you have to walk early in the morning or late in the afternoon after the sun goes down. So my best time would be in the morning. Since I’ve been doing daily intermittent fasting I will add after dinner walking just around my complex. Sometimes the older you get the harder your head but you also look at facts and that’s what you gave here today so thank you for that❣️🙏🏻
