Makes me wish the US was more walkable. Even in cities you have to be super careful not to get hit by a car.

[@jazzfan7491]

Great point

[@rockthevisualarts]

I agree. I hear about a lot of instances in my area of people getting ran over. I go to one of the local parks, so I don’t have to worry about drivers too much. Happy summer is about over too, so I can walk at anytime during the day again there. I like the park I go to because I will see hummingbirds almost every time I go, so it’s an extra motivation to do steps.

[@frankduci7138]

My community sucks for walking, but I do it anyway.

[@marysaade4343]

When you walk you just have to be super careful and know that you don’t have the right away and they just assume run you over. That doesn’t stop me I’m just extra careful.I like to walk everywhere when doing my errands. A lot of times I don’t even need a car. I’d rather walk.And those steps add up so fast

[@victoriaelisapeta]

That part!

[@kartiersupremewhite330]

I live in Florida for 13 years, and I’ve been walking my dogs around the block 3 times per day for 13 years!!! All my neighbors know me from consistently walk around the block!! It relaxes me and takes care of any stress tension,,,,and it keep my weight down!! I’m 6 feet 205lb. I’m grateful.

[@ibrahimkhalil5436]

I too love in Florida and it’s amazing because is always hot and sunny outside so we can go for a walk even in winter

I’m 35yo male. 5’10”. I started walking before work minimum 2 miles mon-fri. I hate going to the gym. Walking is easier. Listen to music, podcast, call family/friends, etc. After 3 months I lost 18lbs. Now I walk after dinner as well.

[@mezza_ph]

Wow well done!!!

[@notmebutyou8350]

I heard walking after eating is one of the best things you can fo for yourself because it helps to process the sugar from the food. I'm going to start doing that. Congrats on your 18 pound loss!

[@littleleafyleaf]

@@notmebutyou8350I’ve heard this too, that even just a 10 minute walk after meals lowers your insulin spike which also helps with inflammation too. I’ve been doing it lately and I end up walking for 15-20 mins when only aiming for 10 ha. I try and do ‘earthing’ some of those times too by walking on the beach and partly in the water. It really improves my mood and day ☺️

[@walkingvideo]

I enjoy walking and I have recently begun filming my walks. Not only is it good for your health, but exploring by foot is also very enjoyable and addictive.

[@walkingvideo]

Haha! Won't happen unless you live in a public park :-)

[@zacktran.]

I agree

[@Jcampos24601]

Best cardio ever. Low effort, high reward.

[@kyoto5]

Bike riding is even better.

[@frankduci7138]

I walk six days a week. Love it. Reduces stress. I'm 50. Use to run. Basically walk my old running course. Have to teach in-person in the covid ward as well. Wear my n95.

[@learnmore9485]

@@kyoto5 wrong! Human body is not designed for bikes like that nor we had bikes back in the days. The best ever exercise is walking period and no discussion on that .😊

[@mattwinick7659]

I love walking it helps me reduce feeling stress and improve my mood. I try my best to walk 2-3 miles a day. Also I use walking if I have difficulty doing different exercises.

[@Harjhdchhvv]

🙏

[@herbertrodriquez6456]

I walk and talk to myself at least 35 minutes a day. I sleep better and feel less stressed out. Can't beat the benefits.

[@victoriaelisapeta]

Walking was a huge part of how I lost 50 lbs in 4 months!

[@harvestingseason2725]

Did you chance much in your diet?

[@victoriaelisapeta]

@@harvestingseason2725 yes! Nothing tooo crazy just cut out fried food mainly! I plan on talking more about it on my channel! 🥰

​@Victoria Elisapeta how long did you walk for ??

[@johnedwardjones999]

Unless there's a lot of ice and snow or it's 90° with high humidity, I've been walking 2 miles a day for several years. Love to walk.

[@demolishbeatz3796]

I walk in my big living room back and forth for a 1hr 30 mins a day. 3 or 5 days a week

[@lobiesoso]

they need to improve a lot on the infrastructure in America

[@lobiesoso]

@Markus Patients That's crazy because . It's normal to have walkway's and cycle path any way . It should have nothing to do with a car Culture . They have Cars in Europe also and many of them. So that is backwards thinking of you.

im walking 30 minutes daily from one week ,i already feel better with my body my mind thanks for the information

[@hikerhobby1204]

It works for my weight. Down six pounds this month just from walking.

[@ryandeffley7652]

Walking is technically a form of exercise. But it should honestly just be a facet of daily living. It's sad how so many people don't move. 1) Ideally, people should be spreading 1-2hrs of walking over each day just for health purposes. 2) Resistance training (weights or even bodyweight calisthenics) at least 2-3x per week is a great goal. 3) Formal cardio that tests your vo2 max for at least 90 min per week is a great goal.

[@jc4evur661]

He's talking here about reducing mortality...there are MANY additional benefits of walking. I started brisk walking and was amazed just how fast my belly went down as well as my jowls and turkey neck. Makes me wonder why I wasted my time doing sit-ups.

[@jwf3148]

if each step is 3 feet then 7,000 steps is 21,000 feet or between 3 and 4 miles. If the pace of walking is 3 miles per hour then walking for 1 hour will do the deed. Another idea is that doing any repetitive exercise, like walking, 20 minutes eevery day will do the deed.

[@olgakim4848]

And they say older people who walk faster live longer. I can't help but walk fast. When I try to walk at a pace most people walk, I feel like I'm walking in slow-motion.

[@TheChristianCarey]

Did we really need a study for this?

[@pelicannurse7397]

That is how science works

[@pearlejam7115]

Yes. Some ppl need to visualize. Some need proof. Some just need to be reminded

[@isobelsmith6999]

Penny, so true, I just need to be reminded 😛

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I wonder how much somebody got paid, to tell us something we already knew.

[@Jorr235]

And do you do it or just sit on your ass all day?

[@MyHeart1955]

Unfortunately, Mr. Whiskers, people tend to “jaywalk” thinking the car is going to stop. I can stop quicker on my feet than that heavy car can. While we’d like to think we as pedestrians always have the right of way, I’d rather stop for the car than just think they are going to care about me and automatically stop. Pedestrians have taken that “you always have the right of way” TOO DAMN SERIOUSLY.

[@cvgb21]

Well said!

[@TiffanyWilliams-rj7ul]

I’m done! Wearing my Apple Watch everyday to make sure I get those steps in.💃🏽

[@tirpitz19]

Any form of exercise does the same thing.

[@nicole2828]

Might not be the case. Chronic cardio can be detrimental due to the constant release of cortisol (stress hormone). Plus, long-distance running can cause damage to the body, like the knees for instance.

[@IOSALive]

Good Morning America, Yay! I liked this video so much, it made me smile!

[@angloaust1575]

Walk as jesus walked Apart from a few boat trips and a ride on an ass He was a walking person

[@jeansaunders1871]

Walking does little to help you lose weight but it will create longevity and give you a feeling of well being. It’s the perfect exercise for anyone.

[@keemoify]

It helps burn calories so it can also help you loose weight

[@randomyoutubeaccount6906]

I'm sure I do more than 10,000 steps a day just pacing back and fourth. i'm always paced around my room or my yard to the point I made trails in my yard as a kid and since then spend prolly a quarter of my day walking for the past 20 years. Easy to day dream while walking, pretty sure my knees are destroyed at 25.

[@cefinau]

“ independent of other risk factors such as age or diabetes, gender, race” … Did they factor in obesity? Obese people have a higher mortality rate and they tend to be less mobile as well. So is their mortality rate due to obesity or lack of walking?

[@joanb.6211]

Lack of physical activities coupled with unhealthy diet, often lead to childhood obesity, and if unchecked, leads to many health issues into adulthood.

[@forgeustiss6667]

This might seem obvious but if it occurred to you, chances are that the researchers also thought of it. You might want to read the study to see if they controlled for obesity. There are enough obese (BMI>25) people who walk > 7000 steps each day for them to have enrolled enough to control for this. There are very simple ways to control for any given variable in a multi-variate analysis. .

[@cefinau]

@@forgeustiss6667 BMI over 30 is considered obese. 25+ is “overweight” Personally I don’t know any obese people who consistently walk 7000 steps a day, as it seems to be too painful/fatiguing. Apparently those in the study who recorded the lowest level of steps per day, were more likely to have a high BMI

[@tbrwn2548]

I walk 6k steps at the end of a work day my watch says

[@OurRetireEarlyJourney]

We currently try to get 20,000 steps a day. We work jobs which are traditionally “sitting”, but we walk on a treadmill to continue to move through the day.

[@carlossong2851]

just like they say eat vegetables fruits and whole grains are good.

[@megsgriffin]

So I get to take 3000 steps off my fit bit 🤣

Why is this news? People don’t have common sense ? Of course walking has benefits just like running and exercising in general

What about people who are neither black or white? 🤔

[@Joce-bl7qi]

@ Mazinger and Minerva He said they had a diverse population in the study. My thought is he listed the two largest groups, not that they were the only people. In a short interview I’m not surprised everything about the study wasn’t covered.

[@Spartanishous]

They are not allowed to walk. They can only hop ! Lol !!!

[@LilyNguyen-fn4uy]

But sometimes I have to cross the street when it's crowded and I'm scared. I feel they're about to hit me before I exercise
