I have averaged 9.2 miles a day for consecutive 687 days. I have reduced my anxiety and depression. I stopped running no more injuries. Life is more consistent. Family and friends think I am nuts when I am walking in hurricanes or below freezing weather however it’s the consistency that is the key to happiness and heart health.

@roxanneholt-abernathy3698. I really needed to read your comment. I am 89 and I have a treadmill and I am in good enough condition to where I really need to be out there every single day but I find excuses. I am reading these comments thinking how stupid I can be. I’m thinking I might try preparing my breakfast and going out, getting on the treadmill walking for 30 minutes and then the breakfast will be my reward. It will already be prepared. It’s OK because it’s muesli and yogurt. It will keep. I also have a habit of working puzzles in the morning while eating breakfast and that takes up a lot of time also so I’ve been slacking off in my physical activity. That has got to come to a stop. Reading these comments is really motivating me.

I am a 76 y/o male, Greek-American retiree living on a Greek island in the middle of the Aegean Sea. I take an hour-and-a-half walk every afternoon in the countryside and foothills of the mountains behind my home and look forward to it every day. My walk takes me past open fields where sheep, goats, cattle, horses and donkeys graze quietly. Before leaving my home, I sometimes stick a few carrots in my pocket to feed to them...they love them! The latter mile or two of my walk is on a paved road where passing motorists in cars, trucks or on motorcycles have come accustomed to seeing me every day and toot their horns, smile and wave at me as they drive past. I think my love for walking originated back in my early teens when I was an active member of the 'Boy Scouts of America' and all the weekend hikes we used to take. Today, my daily walks help me stay fit and healthy and it's exercise that I really enjoy.

I agree. I was walking 11,000 steps a day and my cardiologist said I wasn't working hard enough from an exercise test on his treadmill. So I have been trying to elevate my heart rate. My Fitbit measures the Zone Minutes where my heart rate elevates above 91 beats per minute. Initially it was easy to elevate my heart rate above 91bpm but as I became more fit, it was much harder to get my heart rate up. I was my wife's carer with her MS for almost all 26 years and I have had a heart attack and pneumonia as a result. She has now passed. I am now getting much more fit. I am 76.

I have walked at -! degrees and at 104 degrees (although at the high temperatures I don't walk over a mile) and during the summer months I get up at 4:30am and am out walking at 5:00am. I love it.

In Singapore, we have good covered pathways to walk, huge greens beautiful parks, reservoirs, and a close by island Sentosa, yet many people chose to watch TV, on their phones, eating almost all day as we have hundreds varieties of food and it is affordable, even taking a bus instead of walking for less then a mile. They are on their electric cycle and cars. We have the best and clean transport systems like the MRT , buses, and taxis. It is because of convenience and affordable transport , people refuse to walk. It is a chore for them. We are so spoilt. We have so many private and government hospitals yet we do not have enough beds. Our clinics and private clinics are full everyday. All because our people do not appreciate the gifts and convenience that our government had provided for us. Most of our citizens prefer the convenience at home and good food. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful information here. I'm a 71 yr old male American walking one brisk mile first thing a day every day. Luckily, I have access to an indoor track so weather is of moderate concern. What I've found is it's not just about the number of steps per day, but the pace you walk those steps. I'm now at about 2000 steps (one mile) in 18 minutes and have never felt more energetic and invigorated in my entire life. What I'm most worried about is being compromised due to age or health and can't continue this daily walk schedule. I listen to headphone music when I walk, so I'm dancing the whole way.

A further benefit I find is that walking warms my body and helps my body cope better with other physical activity such as gardening and home maintenance. On a good day I follow it up with yoga stretches. Living in a small country town, I do less walking than I did when I lived in the city, just as you describe here, including when I had a desk job. This is a good reminder to chose carefully where to live as I age for good daily habits to maintain quality of life.

What he said about microdosing steps over the whole day opposed to fewer longer walks is true. 💯 I'll routinely get 20K+ per day with a 45 min walk out of bed, a 45 min walk three hours later, a few 30 min walks over the next 4-6hrs, and then some 15's every few hrs. Doing this keeps you way more active over the day, stabilizes energy levels, and even helps with digestion. What I love most is that it allows you to eat way more which helps with lifting performance and recovery.

Don't eat anything that comes in a package and a list of ingredients that requires a chemistry degree to understand. Eat keto and the depression will likely lift within few weeks. If you have to take any drug for depression you aren't likely to be helped by walking or exercising and ignoring the root cause of your broken brain. What has cured many people to never have to take those drugs is meat and the saturated fat that comes from eating that meat. You want to raise your omega 3's? Eat grass fed beef and get as much of the fats without rendering them. Taking a rancid fish pill isn't likely to help you enough to get you off the meds.

SPEAKING OF BRAIN INJURIES? Really interested in what my 1200 to 1500 steps a day. Does for me. Given that I am a wheelchair / crutch user from birth. I have Cerebral palsy. Now at 55. Slight age related balance changes. On top of existing ones. Forced me to rethink how to keep moving. Safely. That plus joint stress. Left me needing to find a different way to keep walking. Though I am now a full time wheelchair user. I bought a seven ft parallel bar set. It sits atop a plush throw rug in my bedroom. I get all my steps in. Between the bars.

More then that I cannot do. Not enough studies on CP, & aging. Exist. Add that CP is, brain damage. The result / effect of which, is unique to each person. The one thing I am curious about. Is the fact that moving in general / walking. Requires anywhere from 3 to 5 times more energy for someone with CP. What does that mean for someone like me. Who is as active as they can possibly be? In terms of overall health. Finally. I am curious if looking young translates to better health / Longevity overall. I do watch what I eat. Don't smoke, & limit alcohol. That said I am routinely mistaken for someone in my mid 30s. Is that significant beyond the surface genetic component / benefit? Is it any indicator of your actual health?

Not heroic at all. Just another person who enjoys life, & wants to remain in good health. Continuing to enjoy it. Heroism implies being me / life with a disability, automatically requires it. While I would not presume to speak for anyone else. That has not been my experience. I will say. The Idea that disability is inherently negative, & sad. A hardship. Is a societal wide fear driven bias. Unquestioned. Accepted as fact. The truth is we are not a monolith. The experience of disability. Is as varied as people themselves are. Fearing the unknown is natural. Even understandable. Fear & trauma, however, are not the same as truth. All that said. Thankyou. I will take it. In the spirit. That it was intended. @@AJ-es5yd

Becket was an adroit walker living in Paris. When he became ill and couldn't walk he didn't live much long past that. Einstein is reported to have been on a walk with a friend when his first theory of relativity came to him. He reportedly ran back to a place where he could write it down. It's fun to walk with your eyes closed in an open area where there is no possibility of a collsion. This can give one a sense of the miraculous coordination and balancing of human locomotion.

I can't believe that Dr O'Mara prefers walking in cities to the countryside. Cities are usually polluted so you are not doing your health any good going on long walks in those environments. They are full of ugly modern buildings too. The countryside is full of natural colours that calm and relax you and the air is pure and the surroundings and natural sounds and smells are so invigorating and just improve your mood. No competition.

😃As I was listening to your video I tested out your idea to walk backwards and did so even though I was at home inside the house. It i felt great to move in that way. Joyfully I repeatedly walked several steps forward and several steps backwards , it felt quite a bit as if I we're dancing. Which was great for me at age 69 and with arthritis thank you both❤

Happy for you all that you get so much out of it, but felt I needed to put in a word for those who cannot walk, or cannot walk pain-free. "It is something we can all do" is simply not true. Whilst my ageing body has more and more challenges with even the forms of movement I have used daily throughout my life, I never give up and keep seeking ways to off-set the congenital problem I have been landed with. It hasn't been helpful, however, to keep hearing that it is our natural basic heritage when I can't do it near as much as I would like to!

Let me preface this by saying I am an avid walker. But, I'd like to dissect if it's the waking per se that is the driver of the outcomes in these studies. Maybe people with the time to walk large amounts are less stressed, or the people with the ability to walk larger amounts are more healthy overall. Also, what are these tribal societies eating, how are they socializing, etc? To attribute their health outcome all to walking seems simplistic.

Before the car the Shipyard workers walked five abreast to and from work the mill workers walked with their pals women pushed prams with kids tagging along. On Sunday people walked to church to the park. I find myself on a Sunday walking the buses sail past and the cars . Walking gives you time to your self as well. In some places in Ireland they organized community walks. Saul good.

You beat me to it Kim. I have the same thoughts about this. I know walking does NOTHING for weight loss. At least not for me. And I say that as someone who just walked (very quickly) 4 miles yesterday. I do walk but I also RUN 4 miles twice a week (among many other things). Running is the only thing that helps me lose weight.

This all sounds very plausible... because My father died at the age of 95, despite he had tuberculosis after the war, did smoke for decades and was obese. In fact he was eating cake full of sugar on his last birthday. But he never owned a car in his life (Germany). He was a Biology Professor and spend a good part of the day on field trips with his students. He was never preaching proper diet or lifestyle, in fact he was violating all good nutritional behavior we today consider healthy. Could it be? Anyway, I am now almost 70 myself and I just came back from my 5 mile walk. Yesterday I walked 10 miles and sometimes I walk even 20 miles in a day. After a while you get used to it. It is not a waste of time, because I do my "thinking" during the walk. I get home and I do not remember anything about the walk, but I remember everything of the things I was thinking about.

I walk a minimum of one hour every day. But I do it at once. Rest of the day I sit in an office. According to what Dr. O’Mara says this is not very benificial. I should spread out the walking through out the day. But it is very hard to do with the job I have.
