I start walking June 2022 my weight was 145 and December my weight is 124. I walk at my mall 7 days a week. Over 10,000 steps and more steps at home , about 4 miles a day. I am so proud of myself .👏🏼🤗🌹✨

[@83dira]

How do you do 10k steps at a mall??

[@itsDuuaae]

@@83dira my goal is also sat at 10k steps , that's about 7.5--8 km, i go in the forest or by the beach, sometimes i roam around the city. it doesn't matter where, just pick a circuit, a beginning point and an ending point. from home, all the way to "POINT B" and back home. it's veery effective. i combined that with liiittle exercise at home and lost tons of weight

[@videogazer801]

For walking at least 20,000 steps per day, the small amount of weight that you’ve lost over 4 months time, is really not impressive at all. You did okay though 👍

[@charlessadrin6965]

20000 step’s at a decent clip = 2.5/3hrs . Hard on the feet but very doable 😅

[@hamad_q8483]

I was fit for my whole life until 2017, I gained 44 pounds which made me obese. I tried everything to lose it but it always end with failure. I was trying to go to the gym but I survived only couple of weeks. It was so frustrating for me to lose those pounds until COVID came in 2020 I had nothing to do due to quarantine. So I started walking at June 2020, 45 min a day after one month I doubled the time and make it 90 min a day no day off no matter what. It just took me 80 days to lose those 44 pounds and I became fit again and then joined the gym and continue for about a year and my body was in the best shape ever. So best advise for those who want to lose their weight it’s simple the formula is: (sport shoes + ground + time )= weight loss and the secret is with patience and consistency. And believe me once you see the results after a month, you will not stop walking until you reach your goal. I wish you all the best

Black flags blue waters - it's about pirates and privateers. Have you heard of Black beard? Or captin Morgan? (The rum is named after him) The great alone by Kristin Hannah Killers of the flower moon, if you like the movie, it goes into a lot more detail. Reacher by Lee Child - amazon made 2 series about it.

My mother always told me that walking was the best exercise. I never believed her until I was on a cruise ship with 13 floors and refused to use the elevator because I wanted to eat anything I wanted since I was on vacation. I ate like crazy and when I came home I had not gained any weight. I was walking 20,000 steps a day and running the steps. I am now a believer

[@sdr_xp]

I used to be 400 pounds, recently, I started walking and resistance training. The issue was that in 2020, I was diagnosed with Osteomeylitis of L4 and L5 of my spine. I was immediately hospitalized and had a PICC line installed and was given 2 extemely powerful antibiotic injections a day and had to stay in a hospital bed. Before the antibiotics started working, the infection got so bad that I waa paralyzed from the waist down for a month. I had to lay in a hospital bed for 5 months, which in that time, all my muscles atrophied, so I had to learn how to walk again. After intense physio, I got walking and the antibiotics eventually got rid of the infection. I then started my weight loss, dieting and excersizing journey. I started off barely being able to stand for more than 30 seconds and not able to walk more than 200 or 300 steps without having to sit and rest. Slowly I have worked my step count up. I just did my first day last week where I walked 21,000 steps in one day. I also have started resistance training, and I am able to do short sprint bursts with no issues now. I am not 246 pounds and still pushing on. My goal is to get below 200 with 15% or lower fat percentage. I was on 2 blood pressure medications, which I just got off the last one a few weeks ago. My heart health has improved significantly. I resistance train 3 times a week for about an hour and 20 mins per session and I do power walking/sprinting every day after work for about 3 km. My energy is through the roof, I am more confident in my body, next step is to find a girlfriend. Basically what I want everyone to get from my story is that if you want to make a change like I have, you have to see it as a lifestyle change, forever. I will never not be active again. I am 42, male, and am in the best shape of my life, my mental health has improved exponentially. So just remember that you can make a change, and you don't have to change everything all at once. Make small changes, and before you know it, you will look back and be amazed at the good you have done. Walking has been a great tool that I have incorporated in my life and I hope that other people will read what I have wrote and get inspired to change their lives too!!!

Don't feel bad - I am kind of in the same boat - started walking (not 10,000 but I'm working up to it) an cut my sugar intake substantially (I won't say completely because it's hard to remove all sugar from the diet) and I've seen mostly incremental losses, nothing earth-shattering. One thing they don't really tell you about ramping up walking is, your feet hurt more, and yes, I do wear good walking shoes - but I think it just is what it is. I tell myself I'm getting healthier and that's what really counts.

I walk an hour or longer a day at least five days a week. I will be trying out the advice in this video and talking 2 or 3 walks a day and walking 30 minutes or so a walk. I like this idea as it breaks up the day and I’ll find it easier to take these shorter walk a couple of times a day. Thank you for all the tips and as Ive said this video was really helpful.

What do you think about walking according to heart rate zones? Is there a difference between very slow walking for many hours at 90 bpm versus 90 minutes at 120bpm and 60 minutes at 140bpm etc? I feel like there needs to be a certain level of intensity for it to be effective at burning fat

[@IvanaChapman]

I don't think that it's necessary to worry too much about heart rate zones, but it depends on your goals. Yes, the level of intensity affects how many calories you burn off or the amount that it trains your heart. You will burn similar calories by walking for longer periods at lower intensities as for shorter periods at higher intensities. So it really depends on how much time you have and what your current fitness level is. Do you do a lot of walking already?

@@IvanaChapman I've seen theories about fat burning zones, certain intensities burning more sugars and others more fat. I've had an experience where I tried to lose weight by walking very slowly around the house all day working from my iPad and it left me losing a lot of weight over weeks but also a pot belly still as my body preserved the visceral fat. I'd like to do an experiment where I try to eat the same and burn the same calories but this time with more intense cardio but I've joined the gym and am lifting weights, eating more and the whole shebang.

[@IvanaChapman]

That’s not a theory…it’s a well-established scientific fact. You burn a higher percentage of fat (compared to carbohydrates) at lower intensities. However, the overall amount of fat that you burn is higher when you exercise at higher intensities.

Hi. I lost 22kg or 50lb from walking everyday for 1 hour. I was 190 lb now I am 140 lb.

[@IvanaChapman]

Great job!

[@ciel983]

Hello can you tell me How much time did it take you to lose that ?

[@camillefunn6405]

Very informative and helpful video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@rosesantoyo]

Thanks for the information.

[@Centralcoastqueenofswing1]

I'm 62 and I walk 4 to 5 miles a day. I eat only non starchy vegetables and lean proteins and 1/2 an avocado or measure 1 tbsp of olive oil per day and make sure I dont go over 1400 calories a day. Ive been doing this 6 months. Yet...I'm not losing weight or inches. Ever since menopause, I've gained 20 lbs and can't lose it for love or money. The woman in this video is skinny and blessed with a good metabolism. She does all the right things and it works. That's the way it should work but not for me...😢

[@melissaperrotta1054]

Try 1200 calories a day and really limit carbs. High protein is also a must. Look into keto

[@cats5649]

I feel like you’re depriving yourself and not eating enough calories. Your body is probably really stressed out from walking so much and not having enough calories, so it’s holding onto fat because your body is feeling starved and deprived. If I were you, I would make sure to eat enough calories and don’t skip meals and see how you feel after that!

[@Catz-o1z]

I am the same, 58 years old and gained 20 pounds since menopause. Nothing so far diet wise has helped so I've started brisk walking 2 miles a day. It's only been a week but just weighed myself and I have gained 2 pounds! I will keep going because I know how important it is for health but I really feel despondent regarding my weight now.

I recently suffered from Slip disc at 3 points, thereby causing acute pain lower right back running to my right thigh, however the head strong person I am, I took a challenge to loose 20kgs this year. As I cannot do heavy weight lifting currently, I have started to walk everyday for an hour with restricting my diet with protein rich food and very limited carbs and fats. hoping in the next 30 day I see some results. I know I need to be consistent and keep going. Thank you for the tips, this was useful :)

[@IvanaChapman]

Glad you liked the video! But please remember that you don’t need to excessively restrict carbs or fat to lose weight. It’s the overall calorie intake that matters.

I am about 90lbs overweight and trying to get back in shape. I don't know why but treadmills really kill my calves compared to sidewalks. Even just walking... I'm not sure if it's because of weak muscles, poor diet or all of the above. Not sure if others have this issue.

[@Tweetybird5994]

Is 4 miles a day in a treadmill is good or should I add any other form of exercise? If walking is enough in which pace? Why sometime I feel very tired after a mile?

[@IvanaChapman]

If your goal is just weight loss, then walking can be enough. The pace is determined by your current fitness level. As you get more accustomed to walking you can go faster. If you’re tired after a mile, that’s probably enough right now. As your fitness improves, you can walk for longer (or walk longer).

[@ronhoover5516]

Newbie walker here; 50ish male with a solid fitness background but also a busy career and life outside of exercise. I can share that I've started walking in earnest since the first of this year (2024). It's been slow but steady for me. I'm slowly increasing the walking and trying to form good habits. I can honestly say that I haven't lost much weight but I think this takes time and a longterm commitment. My diet wasn't too bad to begin but things could always be better in the diet department so I'm tweaking that. One thing they don't tell you is your feet may hurt; mine did even though I wear good shoes (I'm slightly bigger at ~250 lbs than the average male).

[@George-on3zm]

Good point! Im 51. 240 ish pounds. Never been quite to this. So i started walking again. Going slow 1-1.5 miles per day. Gonna try and do it 4-5 days a week. Then after a couple weeks crank it up to 2-.2.5 miles per day.

[@sandralujano520]

How many days is best to do walking and for how many minutes?

[@preacher031163]

U have to keep your heart rate below 120 for weight loss/ max fat burn...its ok to mix a fast walk for the heart but fat burn stops abd ur body switches to glycogen reserves

[@Mizzliz2006]

Hi. I am very curious to know what I am doing wrong as my health data on my iPhone reports that my daily average steps are 13,500+ steps (about 6miles per day) for the past 6months. I make sure to do a minimum of 30min walks x2 per day (usually 30min x 3 per day) plus eating about 100-200 calories below my maintenance per day but I have only lost about 8 pounds total. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. I do walk on a regular surface so I am not sure whether I should walk on an incline. I have decreased my processed food intake, no alcohol, no added sugar, no sodas. Just want to know what else I need to do, because I do not understand why I haven’t seen any improvements in my weight with walking 13,000+ steps every day. Thanks.

[@melissaperrotta1054]

Try keto. And high protein

[@onsenguy]

you're likely eating too much. I made this mistake too. count calories and eat 80% of your food that you prepare..not restaurant food.

Hi ivana! I’m 27 yo female…Trying to lose 25 pounds with just walking& some little dieting .. is it possible to lose fat and gain muscle by just walking or should I do any other form of exercise

[@IvanaChapman]

Hi there! You can lose weight with just walking and some nutritional changes, but you won’t be able to put on muscle. Only strength training will help you do that.

I started running regularly in 2018 and bumped up the miles in 2021 but i was still lazy with my food. This year, 2023, i came across the keto diet, started proper cooking, cut out bread, pasta, rice, potato, apples and bananas. I have lost almost 30lbs, from 225 to currently 198. My target is 170 or less. Ive been doing walking, running and swimming but will have a go at include some simple resistance training.

[@AbsolutelyFeral2605]

oof... I did go from completely sedentary to one hour a day and have been doing this for a few weeks now. Lots of ice pack and soaking my feet has helped but I probably should've started smaller!

[@Derpingtonshere]

Want to start easy and lose weight, cut out breads and soda... As a person who has went from 380 pounds to 250, I can tell you that it works wonders. I am back up in weight again (do to almost dying from diverticulitis) but I am back on the wagon again and for good. I am not saying to completely cut them out of your life but just cut it back and it will do wonders for you. Also, another tip is if you feel less hungry then drink more water, you'll feel fuller faster and it's healthy for you. A replacement for bread that are healthier and can be used to replace traditional breads are something called "OOPSIE BREAD" and "Corn tortillas" corn tortillas are high in fiber so very good if you have diabetes. I traditionally use oopsie bread for things like turkey burgers ( you can use regular beef as well but we are trying to be healthier here, and for things like brats or turkey hotdogs I use corn tortillas as it's easier.

[@AnjanaGautam-rc3rt]

I have lost 3 inch from my waist just by walking an hour everyday

[@jig1056]

I was just in my diet and I have been walking about 3.2 miles per day for the last three months. I have lost a total of 16 pounds. I’m happy with that however for the last several weeks I’ve been stuck between 194 and 197 pounds I fluctuate in a 3 pound range. I’ve also added a weight vest to help increase my resistance. I’m not sure why I’ve stopped progressing, do I need to walk faster? I walk at a fairly brisk pace for my age (I guess) I’m going at a rate of 16 to 17 minute mile. Do I need to walk faster than that? I tend to keep my heart rate between 110 and 120 bpm is that adequate? Or should I ratchet up the intensity?

[@joana-lynnsabado8882]

How’s your diet? Diet plays an important role in weight loss.

I was thinking about replacing running with walking the 12-3-30 thing that's popular on tiktok. This is motivation that it might work out 😁

I have a question so currently I weight 208 lbs as a 5’1 foot tall person. I try to walk at least 1-2 hours a day every morning but I work from 4pm to 9 pm and like I’m overweight and I try to eat less calories and watch what o eat would that be an issue I was told to eat more but I just can’t because I’m already overweight the eating habit seems very tricky because idk if my body is gonna store all the healthy food as fat and I don’t want to gain any more weight 😣

[@IvanaChapman]

Hmmm, that’s tough. Whether or not a food is “healthy” or not doesn’t affect whether it’s stored as fat…the total amount of calories are what matters. Who told you to “eat more” and why?

[@tasha3939]

@@IvanaChapman I was told to eat 1 thousand something calories, I track the calories that I eat and it ended up being like 600 for the whole entire day and the food was healthy also my friends told me lol and I burned 500+ calories after walking for 2 hours

[@IvanaChapman]

Ahhh, I see! Yes, 600 calories is too low. An absolute bare minimum of 1200 is normally suggested. Trying to eat so little probably won’t work for long…and definitely isn’t a healthy way to lose weight.

[@tasha3939]

@@IvanaChapman but what if I only burn 500+ calories and eat 1200 calories would I still be able to lose weight ?

[@IvanaChapman]

Almost certainly! At a weight of 208lbs, your maintenance calories are estimated to be around 2700. So eating anything less than that would help you lose weight. I suggest not including the calories burned in any calculations (it just complicates things further). Do you know how many calories you were eating before you started dieting?

[@Simon-pl2zi]

Getting your walking fitness up will see you losing weight fast. I walk around 7 miles a day. I built up gradually, and my stomach is completely flat. I also quit all alcohol, refined sugar and processed foods.

[@dharmageddonnow]

I just want to bring up, your speed doesn't impact the amount of calories per mile you burn. It just impacts the length of time it takes to hit a certain amount calories burned.

I've never had a car so have always walked to and from work. And on the weekend if the place I want to go to is less than an hour away I walk. And I live in the sub tropics so it's very hot and humid. The trick i think is to walk to get somewhere. And walk alone. The faster walker won't get much benefit.

I don’t run anymore because I’m tired. But I got fat quickly again. I think pop-gym culture is dumb and panders to the financially rich.meanwhile sawed off human beings remain out of the conversation because they’re not aesthetically pleasing to look at. So walking is all I have at the moment.

There can be some negativity with gym culture, for sure, but it can also be a supportive, friendly environment if you find the right place. But walking is a great alternative, if the gym isn't your thing.
