Agreed! I lived in Ireland for many years and worked in the office. Whole life was in the car chair, office chair and kitchen chair. One day i had enough, i quit the job, sold the car and left the country for good. Now i mostly walk and walk a lot, don't own the car and became a carpenter. Comparing my 43 today against 35 back then, i was half dead!

Why did you have to leave Ireland? Not being rude but couldn’t you walk there? And be a carpenter there?

Same here, I worked in IT for 20 years but then I quite and moved to the country side in a different state to take care of family. I was basically a walking corpse when I arrived, but then I started working for a shopping/delivery service (which requires a lot of walking and heavy lifting) and now a year later I'm healthier than I've ever been in my life, and despite making much much less, I'm definitely a helluva lot happier too.

When I heard the data about people over 65, my gut reaction is to ask, "Is walking 10,000 steps a day a cause or a metric?" If you're over 65 and can still walk that much, you must be healthy versus if you're over 65 and unhealthy and start walking 10,000 steps you will become healthier / reduce your risk of all cause mortality. Does the study support the latter conclusion?

[@charlesgreen7408]

Good point 👉 soon to be 68, healthy and took a job security patrol, corporate campus, 11000 steps 5 days a week, 3 years ago. Very safe, not working for health insurance company 😅

[@c00ckiez]

Well, isn't that correlation at 4:30 problematic ... ? If a person above 65 years old is doing less than 8k, In many cases it will be because that person would be already sick or in bad shape and incapable of achieving this goal. So we are looking at a study that says 'healthy elders have a lower mortality rate'... which is not really helpfull. Especially when the effect is seen mostly in people above 65 years old, not young people.

Good point!

[@bonnieschmidt5882]

I think as well it is not fully at least causal. When you are old you walk less because you can’t do it. Making more sport young most probably help but there is something else… I simply hope it is not 100% genetics or I am screwed !

I do find all the videos of use. In this case, I also have a problem with correlation and causation. Others have mentioned the fact that those who live longer are simply healthier, to begin with, and that a great percentage of those over 65 are already ill. This is not to knock walking. I developed diabetes 25 years ago and have been walking since. However, I have never managed 8,000 steps. I now managed 4000 over the last year partly due to a knee injury 6 years ago. All that said It may turn out to be objectively true that 8,000 steps is what is needed. It is also true that the vast majority, yes the majority of people will never come close to this for any number of reasons. One point is I am careful not to shame people about not being able to do it, including myself. 8000 ste[s os 3 miles. ( Now lately I have tried to make this sound better by saying that if you walk 3 miles/hr that is “only” an hour a day or 365 hours a year. Sounds manageable but it all depends on one's life situation and obligations. Finally, how does this data compare to the 150min/wk recommendation? What is the difference in morality between 4-5K steps and 8k?

Why didn't they adjust for depression? Seems like you could interpret the results as "people with more energy live longer"

I bet if people jogged or ran 1,000 steps per day with purpose, or intensely peddled an exercise bike for 6 minutes per day they would be getting much more benefit that 8,000 steps per day. Intensity over quantity for heart health. Or, even weight training with shorter rest periods. It is pretty easy to maintain 125bpm weight training if you are messing around between sets for minutes, as many do. Do an upper body movement, straight to a lower body movement, back up to another upper body exercise, to a lower body one, etc. The way people use the gym they act like they are training professionals being paid to be in contest shape....even though they never will. "must rest 2 minutes for optimal ". Bouncing between sets with as little rest as needed to change out plates or move to another machine will get you out of the gym in 25 minutes rather than the "I was at the gym for 2 hours today" crowd. Yeah, of that two hours 16 minutes was actual exercise and 1 hour 44 minutes was standing around "recovering".

It's not that simple. The heart has to be active for a certain amount of time. Walking is quite doable and falls within the perfect range for energy expenditure. Keep in mind that there are two systems,, the fat burning system and the carbohydrate system. There is a split between the two during any activity. Walking relies more on burning fat.

You like that Huberman includes references. It would be really helpful if you listed the references you use in the description.
