Very inspiring Ryan - I am on my own weight loss journey via walking - manager 10K steps a day in August, Sep, and Oct so far and the weight is starting to go!

[@RyanCondon]

Congratulations. Keep it up, you're smashing it. Thanks for watching.

[@shaetteb1272]

I've been preaching this method since I was a young fat kid(late teens) who lost the weight hiking on acid.

[@andrewhayes7055]

Get a decent rucksack and put some weight in it c10% of your body weight it really helps with getting your heart rate up into zone 2 and burning off the fat

[@chrislaing4648]

Great storytelling, editing, voiceovers… entertainment and inspiration 👏

Thanks Chris, I'm really pleased you liked the vid. :)

Ryan really is one of the best content creators in the Zwift/fitness space.

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

So many people don't understand how far diet and walking can get them. You don't have to go out the door on day 1 and do 10 miles either. In fact, you don't even have to go out the door. You can walk around in your own place for a while.

[@christophercastrillon4737]

This is by far your best video yet. You are a true inspiration and a natural story teller. Thank you for being you!

I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps per day. I advise anyone overweight to begin walking even if it's only for 15 minutes per day. Get used to it then set your goals. Stick on a podcast and away you go. I got terrible Shin splints as my body was not used to it however as the weight comes off the strength increases. I'd also recommend a step counter. After a bit of time l stepped up and and downloaded my fitness pal. I wanted to create a calorie deficit without going on some type of crash diet and suffer mentally. I stuck to 2500 calories and 10000 steps per day. And the weight started to come off. My mental health improved my mobility improved. It can be done. The key thing and advice ld give is! Consistency. Build up to your targets and stay consistent and don't beat yourself up.

[@mickingle]

Good on you pal. Four months ago I was in that spot, rebooted myself back to health witb two months of daily Walking before I got back on my bike. 3 stone later lost I'm back alternating walking and cycling every other day. Brilliant video.

I was about to give up on zwift before I found your videos. You managed to get me addicted to it. Hopefully I can get back on track after gaining around 50lbs in a year. Crazy to think that I was running 50-60 km a week not too long ago and couldn't run a full 5k today.

You are really inspiring to me. I'm a 39-year-old and by now 95kg(209 pounds) woman and I started cycling in April this year. I began to lose weight and mountain biking to get healthier and spend time with my boyfriend in nature. last month I also got an indoor cycling setup to keep myself going during winter. I love to watch your journey alongside mine.

Cheers. Pleased you liked it. Music is Epidemic sound but they dont pay me to recommend them. 👍

[@visualwander3752]

This is such a good message! There was recently an article in the biggest Finnish newspaper where they interviewed a legendary sports coach who brought up how important the basics are even for the top level athletes. He even said that in Finland the coaches and athletes have lost the understanding and knowledge of endurance training. In his opinion, for example, many hockey players lack basic endurance. He puts players who seek his personal coaching and guidance to walk 😊

[@RyanCondon]

Walking everyday helped me build my endurance, you're 100% correct. 🙌

Easier on the joints, similar calorie burn per mile, zone 2 is better for fat burn and mental wellbeing. Its insane that walking isnt promoted more for people with weight issues. Top tip... carry 10-15% of you body weight in a bag for extra calorie burn.

Really enjoyed this,I started my weight loss last year and the first person to mention about walking was influencer James smith who was en advocate for walking and weights (i am no gym bunny) between that and calories in and out. Fantastic to see someone else talking about a cheap and easy workout my time out at night is usually two hours walk maybe more depending on the Strava challenges i have set myself.

[@RyanCondon]

Nice one. Thanks for the comment. 🙌

[@BrokenBidon]

Great video as always. Your output has been, and continues to be, one of very few KZbin channels that I always watch. After finding your channel a few months back, I went through your older videos and they encouraged me to get off my oversized derrière and start my own weight loss and fitness quest. It’s also your fault that I’m now Zwifting every day. Keep up the great work and thank you. PS Your London Marathon video was especially inspirational.

[@marktucker208]

What’s with me mate. I went from 155kg to 115 in 7 months, then back to 152kg, got down to 103 last Christmas but now I’m 122kg & every day I say “I’ll start tomorrow” but I can only last 2 days max at dieting. Can’t even get motivated to exercise anymore. Walking is too boring after about 20 minutes I get demotivated and when I go on the exercise bike I can do an hour at a good pace but again it feels like it takes forever

[@RyanCondon]

It is hard mate, i feel your pain. i made a video about this battle you're describing. It might help you. 🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5itlZhoeteJfrMsi=FxFS834K4b-nMhGe

[@AndyRides]

Like this video. Inspirational. You should be very proud of your achievement.

[@michael1]

Walking is probably z2 if you're 190kg? I think it's good because, it's free and you don't need to fret about equipment. Big guys are always asking about weight limits on bikes on cycle forums and saddle issues etc and I often think "just walk until you're under the weight limit for the bike you like" and running is a tough sport and very injury prone. So yeah, I think you did the right thing - well, obviously whatever works is the right thing and what you did worked. I'd suggest people walk, and then eventually add cycling or running when walking feels super easy because it'll likely plateau weight loss as you lose weight and get fitter and you'll need something that pushes your HR into z2.

[@RyanCondon]

Walking can be a zone 2 workout even if you're not Obese. Thanks for watching.

[@michael1]

@@RyanCondon Maybe, but it's far less likely. If you live where it's very hilly perhaps. For most people z2 is going to be jogging.

[@marksimm-smith2237]

Hi you might want to consider the LDWA (long Distance walking association) if you complete a 50 mile challenge walk that would qualify you for the anual100 mile challenge. It's like the super crazy ultras you've done but at a sensible speed (also the LDWA events are well cheap I did a 50 miller for £30)
