For Long-Term Fat Loss Success, Walking Is BETTER Than Running

[@govdave007]

I love how these guys admit to having made mistakes in the past as personal trainers.

[@zacharycardiff2774]

I used to be over 500 pounds. Walking/hiking was one of the best tools to achieve weight loss, and of course obviously learning how to control my diet. Now that I'm hovering between 210 and 215 I love that I'm able to run now but I still primarily just walk. Another superb tool for weight-loss exercise is a rebounder (mini trampoline). It's like a bouncey treadmill that I can do steps on, sprints or just bouncing. Feels great to get fit!

I love 15-30 minute walks to break up the day or after eating a big meal. Aside from the physical benefits, the mental health benefits of being outside and unplugging from electronics are much more impactful.

LOVE how u guys always admit the mistakes u guys have made in the past . MUCH respect.

[@TobyKBTY]

After realizing how sedentary I am on a regular day (not counting lifting heavy to the gym), it hit me that I'd really rather spend more time walking and building up at least 8k -10k steps a day than dreading sitting on a stationary bike or run for an extended period of time. Low impact, easy to do, and it adds to passive burning of calories. Helped me stay in shape since the whole lockdown business in 2020, and it's since become part of my daily life.

[@connorman1993]

I work in a hospital and I have to travel the entire hospital pushing a cart around. Easily walk 5+ miles every shift. I guarantee it's one of the largest reasons for me keeping my body fat pretty low

[@Jujubees225]

Holy moly. How do you fuel yourself walking that many miles? I am assuming theyre 12 hour shifts.

[@ryanrobertson7124]

Y’all are SPOT ON about how most people don’t know how to run properly and how important it is considering the injury risk.

[@spin_flo2235]

Really informative segment. Gonna try to walk more on the regular. Never thought about the reasons running may not be so sustainable.

[@MarkWalmsley]

I always watch people running and think how bad their knees and joints are going to be in later years. I got a dog 10 years ago and now walk every day. Plus we wall at a very quick pace. If I hadn't got a dog I imagine I would be in worse shape by quite a bit.

[@jc4evur661]

Walking is good Brisk walking is better Brisk walking on incline (stairs, treadmill) is best

[@jc4evur661]

@hayley.thequietplace It can be a good workout addition but be careful. Why? 1. Rucking (carrying a weight in a pack when working out) can cause lower back pain and possible injury. 2. If you're older (over 50) it can cause disc compression which is not good.

[@DrakeBrunette]

I do my more strenuous exercising 5x a week and I walk 2x a week as my rest days. Aiming to get 10k steps which usually equates to about 5 miles in total... It's easy, it keeps me focused on my goals and I love the way it feels.

[@Christians9955]

I only run once a week - 6 to 11km. I wouldn't want to run anymore, other days I walk at least 15,000 - 22,000 steps. I always thought if I don't sweat it's not a work out, well I am stubborn because that isn't the case. I try to walk everywhere I go if I have time now

[@gainde1137]

One of the most wise discussion about running 👍

[@dimasavila9158]

1.5 mile walk 40 times over 4 to 5 months lost 40 lbs it works.

[@RobustMustache]

One of the major keys to all workouts is consistency. Find things you like to do, that you can fit into your schedule. Same with lifting weights. You can make good progress/maintenance with low weights over time if you are consistently doing it every week.

[@a1junkremoval]

Love walking. Because of the nature of my physical job my hips, knees, and ankles are not in great condition to run but walking has kept me lean and in good shape.

[@richardmiddleton7770]

Walking is only better because most people run way too fast. You can easily run every day if you keep the pace low and get more benefits than just walking.

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

Thats jogging but running.

[@johnmckeron3663]

I agree 100% with these guys ‘ walking is sure better for me ‘ combining with weight training ‘ I’ve done running ‘even a couple of half marathons ‘ never really enjoyed it ‘ plus studies have said zone 2 for cardio is better than running ‘ walking is more closer to Zone 2 training

[@florianhemme]

Currently training for a marathon (not my first). Y’all couldn’t be more spot on. The moment I’m not actively prepping for a race, I walk exclusively for my cardiovascular health. Running is a performance sport, not a leisure activity or efficient long-term weight control regimen.

[@cassandragill9977]

Took me 10 years to really nail my running technique from middle school to D1 distance running. It's really a constant skill to always be improving and slightly tweaking over time 😆 Love it, but with that process came injuries to learn from and adapt for sure.

[@masonjjohnson]

People absolutely sleep on the benefits of just moving around more. While I am not trying to be a mass monster (love basketball too much.) When I moved back home from college I came down from 280 to 195 in about 2 years pry simply helping out around the house. If you are currently cutting and live at home help your parents out. Things like mowing the lawn, dishes, walking the dog. It’ll feel good to help out, they’ll buy you more chicken breast, and more importantly you’ll be too busy to think about how hungry you are lol. I get in around 15k steps a day (full time online student) simply by trying to help them out. Moving around more also dramatically helps my digestion so there’s another benefit. Basically what I’m trying to say is the small shit for sure adds up just don’t make it a hassle for yourself. Everything with weight loss is supposed to be a lifestyle change, might as well become useful in the process!

[@ninadsbhatt100]

C25K is working for me. I did tweaks all along the training and my form is much better now than at the start.

[@MartialGolf]

When I started running again I learned some proper technique and it made a HUGE difference on my joints

[@johnharris1352]

Running is a primeval action and we are all here,literally, because our ancestors knew instinctively how to run. Either to run down prey to eat or to run from becoming prey to be eaten. I don't think running and walking are mutually exclusive. It best to do both and can be done in the same workout. Just like people should lift heavy things folk should also run and walk. Evolution designed us that way.

[@_einodmilvado]

Truth

[@madmandu]

Evolution is verifiably false.

[@martingimenez339]

I've been training and running my whole youth as a sportsman and rugby player but now I'm 51 and with 280lbs although Im lean I wouldn't run for my life. For me it's just heavy lifting and walking with a couple of long sessions on the elliptical per week. Running kills your gains, while walking keeps your muscle mass intact.

[@danm2756]

[@GuidetteExpert]

Very regarding part of keeping your weight of long term is walking more! In Europe people walk or bicycle everywhere! In countries and towns where they drive everywhere tend to be more overweight. I dont agree that running is bad, you just need to warm up and eat right. All the cons you mentioned about running did not consider diet or warm up tho. Its healthy and important to run for your body.

[@fuzion2003]

Beautiful advice guys thank you

[@ambargaytan84]

Hi Adam!! It has been a couple of week’s, only. Since I heard from you. Hi.

[@gainde1137]

When doing the math regarding time spent and calories burned both workouts are imho almost the same. Running is faster to burn the same amount of calories (e.g. 3 miles) but you also need to take into consideration change clothes, warm-up, running time itself, taking shower, change clothes, wash clothes. Walking the same distance takes more time but it's not necessary to change clothes, warm up and shower. So at the end I spent almost the same amount of time to cover the same distance and burned the same amount of calories. Beside that I like walking as you can combine it with other activities like listening podcasts, thinking or doing street photography. What do you think about this argument?

[@dimitrie17]

spot on, agree 100% If you take into consideration all the cons of running in the video, walking is better by far.

[@melissasahagun5359]

I walk daily but some times i wake up early on a rest day and go for a 30 minute run because i really enjoy it.

[@jlogan2228]

To me running is one of those things that everyone clings to but is honestly not all that great. Theres so many other ways to train cardio and endurance. Like instead of jogging if im going to run for endurance im going to do sprint training, swimming, jump rope, stationary bike, elliptical, circuit training etc

[@nirvairg]

I could never get myself to walk on a consistent basis. To lose even an additional 0.25lb per week, i would have to walk 1hr at at least 3 times a week. It was just far too boring. I have been running 3 days a week for 10 months and lost 35lbs in the process. Cant underestimate the mental toughness gained from running, walking just cannot give you that challenge.

[@dmanzawsome]

You should make a video talking about the common misconception that modern medicine made modern humans healthier than hunter gatherers or other primitive peoples. I think since medical treatments allow people to live longer, all else being equal. People have this false belief that modern humans also have less disease and less disfunction than primitive people but the way people live their lives actually leads to more disfunction. Simply because people don't apply principles of a healthy lifestyle and just expect the meds to fix it.

How much walking is that in hours? How are you doing that?

[@plutoburn]

A more general way to put this: For long term health success, healthy habit that people can incorporate into their lifestyle permanently is best. Following the same thinking but for diet, rather than doing hardcore Keto or long term fasting to reduce fat which is too hard for people to stick to until they reach their goal weight and they tend to rebound, just eat less unhealthy substitute rather than straight up junk food instead is more realistic, easier to stick to permanently and prevent weight rebound.

The calories burned in a mile are the same whether you walk or run. The only difference is the time it takes.

[@sethpawlik]

Not true

[@ryandeffley7652]

@@sethpawlik - The runner will burn more overall cals based on miles per hr. But let's say a runner does a mile and stops. His cals burned is roughly 100-150 depending on weight/speed. The walker will also burn 100-150 for the mile as well. It just takes twice as long. **This is why walking is the equivalent of the tortoise and not the hare. You can walk daily in very high volume with no recovery cost. So on volume alone, the walker burns more per week. You don't see the average person running 70 miles a week. But someone could easily get 20K steps daily.
