Pay attention to these guys. I’m 75. After being a runner from age 20 to 39, I switched to walking. When I moved to the West Coast, I added hiking and cross country skiing. For mobility reasons, I can no longer walk even ¼ mile. But I can ride a stationary bicycle, and do almost daily. Thanks to that, all the benefits Brad and Mike mentioned are still a part of my life. Again, pay attention to these guys!
2015, paralyzed due to a systemic MRSA infection. Five surgeries, ICU, ventilator, near death. Five weeks of intense hospital rehab. Four months of out-patient rehab. Began keeping a spreadsheet. 19,000+ miles of planned walks, RWRing, hikes, backpacking. 2,000,000 feet of elevation gain. 24,000+ miles of total daily distance. Thousands of calories burned. 8,000+ miles cycling. I just turned 77 years old and credit movement for my survival. I train with resistance bands, continuing to work on balance and flexibility. Life could have been much different.
I went to cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation with a PT after having years of shortness of breath and frequent respiratory infections. Five minutes of walking was too much. I started with 3-5 minutes on the recumbent bike, stretches and breathing exercises. I slowly advanced over 6 months. Now months later I do 30-45 minutes everyday on the elliptical or treadmill along with weight training.
That’s seriously impressive! Many folks get discouraged at starting with seemingly tiny amounts of exercise, but you’re proof, it builds and pays off big time. Thank you for the inspiration to start wherever you can and stick with it. Keep up the good work. 😊
Thanks everyone! The PT was a lifesaver. There are some nice exercise videos if you search for “pulmonary rehab exercise” on RUclips. They are done seated and can be kind of fun. Stuff like swimming-in-place and disco arms. As I progressed, I would do them standing and then when marching for one or two songs once or twice a day. Breathing exercises are no fun, but were also very helpful.
This is such good advice. I walk five times weekly to exercise classes. I take one day off. The other day I ride a stationary bike to nowhere and then hit the weights at the gym. I agree it's not just longevity, but quality of life. Being mobile and doing so with relative ease means a more active, social life and better mood. I can attest the opposite it true as well. Get to where it hurts to stand, to move, to walk -- then the depression and (at least for men) the anger starts. I tell people, happiness is a choice. It doesn't just happen. You have to work at it. Healthy body, healthy mind, and vice versa. With regard to losing weight, I have a super power. I can gain weight faster than a speeding bullet. So I watch what I eat and how much. By now it's a way of life; a lifestyle change. Miracle drugs, whatever, okay, but it boils down to two simple things: Eat less, move more. Miracle stuff may point the way, but in the end, eat less, move more. These guys are onto something. Well done, yet again!
❤❤❤ these guys! Even bought some products. Daily outdoor walks helped me weather the worst of the COVID pandemic physically and mentally. I am so blessed to live in a safe walkable neighborhood. It safeness me when i see how much of the urban and suburban world is built exclusively for cars and trucks.
Avoiding and eliminating as many carbs as possible from your diet can help you avoid or reverse type 2 diabetes. Carbs cause type 2 diabetes. Get a glucose meter and use it frequently.
@MegaValuedcustomer I totally disagree with you about the whole diabetes and keto theories of wellness. Number one diabetes has many causes but eating carbs is not one of them! I'm a proud carbivore. I tried to stop carbs and it absolutely doesn't work for me. What causes diabetes is the things in diet like high fructose corn syrup. Etc .these things are what causes the damage to the internal organs. You might as well add a few drops of transmission oil to every meal. Sure then you are going to be diabetic. Mankind has lived off fruits vegetables unrefined starches etc for years. They do not even make you gain weight I love my fruit. I love a good baked potato. I'm not going to stop eating wild rice chicken soup.i would not think of ever stopping my natural breakfast bars. People have diabetes because of the damage they have from years before. Also parasite play a huge role too, it is not carbohydrates that hurt you it's what's added to them that make them dangerous. Blueberries are not dangerous. Bananas are not poison. Peaches, apples, potatoes and rice are not dangerous. Raw Cane Sugar not dangerous Put butter and sea salt on them plenty not dangerous Clogging the lymph and bile ducts with chemicals infections and parasites, now that's real dangerous! Read labels and eat to live. They have done it for centuries around the world and none are fat until they eat an American de-nutrurnted diet full of chemicals and parasites
Sending kind words. 😅. I love walking and listen to audio books or podcasts….makes the time and distance go by quicker. It’s uninterrupted which helps, too. Thank you all!
Thanks for the suggestions. I used to walk in the woods which was so calming, but I have to be really cautious of the tree roots. I broke my foot last year and am just trying to build up to walks again. Good to hear that pedaling, rowing, and the elliptical are good options as I have access to all of those.
Use to walk and hike frequently for a number of years until a couple of knee surgeries ended that. I Use to do Jordan's videos when the weather wouldn't allow outdoor activity. Now I do chair exercises. I am so grateful for your videos and have recommended your RUclips to a number of people. Thank you for what you do.
Sending kind words! You three are the BEST! You GIVE us what we need. I loooove walking and want to walk across England, but have not been able to walk far for a few years now. Got X-rays last week, and following up with my dr.
I watched to the end. Yes sir. I didn't have much choice. I build a watch list and view videos while rowing (C2). Watching fitness-related videos while exercising motivates me to keep going. Growing my knowledge base while improving my fitness. It works for me.
Thats a pretty sweet rower!! Thanks for all the info - you 3 guys are great! Sometimes the basics, like walking, are overlooked and under rated. Thanks for the reminder 🎉
Greetings from way too hot Arizona! Loved the ideas for staying active indoors, we have over 300 days of blazing sunshine out here so I'm always on the lookout for indoor ideas. Thanks for making it entertaining and educational!
Walking or using the treadmill(in inclement weather) is what I prefer. Stationary biking or rowing tend to stress my back. I also do Rebounding as it helps with bone density and lymphatic circulation etc. Could you do a video on Rebounding?
Hi guys , im 70 years female apart from walking I do a step class twice a week use the raisers too thats a very good cardio workout been doing it for 30 years .
Hate Mall walking, because the scenery never changes. I'm 70 and did my 1st 5k this year. Came in 3rd in my age group. Now I try to do 3 to 4miles a day with a 16m/mph goal. I started adding a 20lbs vest and am now interval jogging. Have to admit I don't always feel like getting out there right after dawn, but if I don't it doesn't feel right the rest of the day. I never liked excersise growing up and always said I'll never run...but here we ate. Love the show. So.much good info
I walk just about every day, mostly nordic walking, some days like you described doing one block fast and the next slow and one day a week with a weighted vest just to change things up.
we notice Brad has moved away from old style shoes with big arch support and is now in low drop flat shoes, GREAT move Brad! Excellent for grounding and energy flow up the body, reccommend putting reflexology insoles into flat soled shoes to increase circulation of energy throughout the system. Why work to relieve symptoms when you can simply work to prevent the cause ?
Thank you so much I really enjoy all your content. Personally I enjoy walking. It is supposedly the safest activity we can do. So says my general practitioner. I look forward to your next video.
I caught a deal on Amazon and my walking pad arrives on Oct 2nd. I signed up for the "Virtual Honolulu Marathon" and will practice long walks indoors until Dec 8th, 2024.
Great guys:). I have MS and have been homebound use rollator but do some marching steps often and other exercises to keep mobile. Watched Bob and laser treatment and so happy to see him as started watching your videos 2020. Also thank you awhile back you had Dr Eric Westman. Joined his program in January this year and have lost 20 pounds no exercise required but now more energy and major cognitive improvement. When I saw Bob thought I hope he has explored keto low carb as people with neurological diseases are experiencing great improvement. Had to mention as thought of him and with his other tools he likely knows but in case not... :))) _all the best to you all!
I have bad balance from a car accident effecting my preexisting conditions. I want to rebuild my glutes and thighs. I lost alot of muscle mass I'm immobile right now. My back was hurt and I've got congenital spinal stenosis, but I danced ballet as a younger person. The muscle memory from years of ballet lasted into my late sixties, then I fell! That started the ball rolling to disaster. I think I have Pitiformis Syndrome and my left gluteal muscle went completely flacid with the first injury in 2020. ( But I got it back) I went to PT for eight months three times a weeks in 2021, and recovered partially to walk again on my rt leg. Then a guy rear ended me eight months ago and now my left leg injured. (Lumbar vertebrae causation). I was hoping to find a passive plie` machine. If I could get my thigh muscles back I might be able to get my core strength back evenly. I have IT Band Syndrome too, usually on the affected side ..first right in 2021 now left in 2024. So far I have avoided the much offered western medical suggestions of invasive surgeries ..Are there any such machines out there? Or maybe Brad you can invent one lol. I miss Bob and send him my prayers. It looks like he's trying to kick ass on that dread condition. Much love to you Bob and Mike! Kudos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am a nearly totally blind. Individual uses a white cane for the blind to walk. I walk very quickly at the 3.7 to 3.8 mile an hour walk to the gym and back and I’m walking around Shipp around 3 miles. So I go to the gym then and work out for 45 minutes. I do all of this three times a week. That’s my routine for keeping healthy, which I hope it is doing.
I just came from the gym to watch your video! Love your videos. Gym today was just a stretching (yin yoga type class). BUT before the class I did my 30 minutes of rowing at home. Glad you mentioned rowing. I love my setup. I have an old Precor 612 and use a Quest 2 VR headset to do workouts with a program called Holofit. The program has virtual worlds you collect trophies in while rowing, biking, running on an elliptical, or just using the hand controllers while running or skiing in place. They also have some HIIT and cardio workouts you can select, or just go at your own pace. I also do strength training twice a week at the gym along with the stretching classes 3 times/week along with the rowing and other cardio workouts. At 72, I seem to be doing just fine. I wouldn't know I'm older if I didn't know my birthdate, lol. I'm always looking to learn more about staying fit and avoiding stuff aging people get prone to and Bob & Brad channel has a lot of videos for that. Yay.
Nordic walking, haven't you demonstrated that, Brad, it is so great! Singing, how come that came up? - Do sing while you walk - time flies! I very much like Lucy Wydham-Read's walking tours and at home walking exercises. Go to famous places with her, while you walk at home, as Paris, Vienna, London... When you've warmed up with her do-along-videos, you can add a few targeted exercises with B&B&Mike!
I've been riding a recumbent bike for five and a half months, almost everyday. I bet it's easier on my spondylosthesis. At first I only did 20 minutes, now usually 40, even an hour. My legs feels much stronger, but I'm waiting for them to look more toned. Now I'm thinking I should take one day between for those muscles to rest. Thanks guys.
Walking in a pool is also an option for people who have impact issues. I teach a class that uses walking in different directions using different techniques to improve balance and coordination. 🖖🏻
Great ideas. I love my hour walk outside EARLY morning (6am) as I live in the country and surrounded by almond orchards. Now is harvest-so so dusty and bad to breathe. So I go out as early as possible to best the workers and dust. (And stay out of the sun because of skin cancers I’ve had🙄) Also best the awful heat. Winter, if we get any rain, is dangerously slippery so I usually exercise indoors walking in place and more. It’s all a balancing act! But keeping active and my legs and body strong is my main focus! Thanks for all the tips! PS..will Sara Meeks be on again any time? I learned so much from her!! Thanks so much for such helpful videos!🩷
YT had been suggesting videos about those and I finally watched one after seeing your comment. It sounds like a very beneficial exercise, lots of research behind it - even NASA thinks it is the best exercise for returning astronauts. I think I might go buy a rebounder one of these months... My dad used to do it back in the 80's when I was a kid and I thought it was kind of lame - but not anymore!
With PTTD in both feet and fibromyalgia...any advice for putting this into my health journey? Thanks for this and prayers continue for Bob .. he is an inspiration!
We don't have any videos on that specific topic at this time but we have a few on flat feet that may be worth a look ruclips.net/p/PL8l32k1r15l6lbwN4XDKTMZ59HUSqk364
Hey, great job guys! I'm looking for the motivation to exercise more. I walk during my job. I'm bad at caring for myself outside of work. Do you have any videos to remind me of the basic goals?
These are great ideas for indoor exercise. I have arthritis in my feet, ankles and back, and so far, the best treatment I have found (besides physical therapy) has been some prescribed custom made orthopedic insoles that were made by a pedorthist. A pedorthist is not a podiatrist! Pedorthists specialize in making medical insoles. They are expensive! Mine were $450, and they're not always covered by insurance, but for me, they have been well worth it. I'm back to walking a mile each day and my back feels much better too.

Lots of respect from India..❤ when I hav joint pain or any muscle ache. I follow these vedios and it gets cured 😊
Hello from Indiana
Walking even in a mall if the weather is too inclement. Owning a dog is a motivator.
Walking in the Mall - great idea thanks
I love walking. I do indoor walking workouts. That way, it's not boring and changes it up.
Thank you and great to see Bob! 🙌🏾💪🏾
Thanx to all at Bob and Brad ❤❤❤.
The absolute best and my favorite physical therapist on RUclips!!!!
Thanks bunches Mike and Brad! 👏 I walk nearly every day on my waking pad, which I’ve had nearly a year, and my life has most definitely improved. 👍
Wonderful!
I am a 77 year young. Walk outdoors for an hour. Bad eeathet walk inside. I really enjoy your videos. Very informative. Thank you
Bob and Brad are the best!❤
I love Bob and Brad so much! What a difference you have made in my life!💯
Hello Bob, Brad and Mike 💚☘️. I appreciate your sound advice.
We love leslie Sansone, walking at home routines.
Best phsiotherapist in world.i am cured now.and improving from severe slipped disc case
Glad to hear that!
Thank you guys once a fan always a fan 🙏
Avoiding and eliminating as many carbs as possible from your diet can help you avoid or reverse type 2 diabetes. Carbs cause type 2 diabetes. Get a glucose meter and use it frequently.

Thank you 👍🏻☺
Thank you
Sending kind words! You three are the BEST! You GIVE us what we need.
I loooove walking and want to walk across England, but have not been able to walk far for a few years now. Got X-rays last week, and following up with my dr.
Brill lads. Love all the info and the chat! Indoor activity for during the week is the handiest for me.
Thanks guys, I've been trying to get back to walking and now I feel motivated 😊
Thanks for sharing!❤
My favorite is hiking!

Thats a pretty sweet rower!! Thanks for all the info - you 3 guys are great! Sometimes the basics, like walking, are overlooked and under rated. Thanks for the reminder 🎉
I have a standing desk for work and got a walking treadmill to go with it. I put a RUclips video on and walk.
Thank you.

Mall walking is like people watching at the airport. Lots to observe and in a large mall there are lovely shop fronts to look at.
@francesbrown850 if I walk I'll do it before it opens, so no
I walk just about every day, mostly nordic walking, some days like you described doing one block fast and the next slow and one day a week with a weighted vest just to change things up.
I like the tip walk normal and then speed up and walk outside
we notice Brad has moved away from old style shoes with big arch support and is now in low drop flat shoes, GREAT move Brad!
Excellent for grounding and energy flow up the body, reccommend putting reflexology insoles into flat soled shoes to increase circulation of energy throughout the system.

Very helpful.
Walk at Home with Leslie Sansone. Still the best at home workout.
I am a nearly totally blind. Individual uses a white cane for the blind to walk.

Excellent as always. Redox Signaling Molecules - I drink them every day. Scientifically proven. PTs, MD, etc are all on board.
I've been riding a recumbent bike for five and a half months, almost everyday. I bet it's easier on my spondylosthesis. At first I only did 20 minutes, now usually 40, even an hour. My legs feels much stronger, but I'm waiting for them to look more toned. Now I'm thinking I should take one day between for those muscles to rest. Thanks guys.
you guys are great!
Thank you!
The kind words for walking. I like being out on the trail.
Kind words. I walk outside when possible, or else treadmill. Last resort, indoors. I always am happy I did it.
I use a rebounder (mini trampoline) when the weather isn't fit for walking.
Walking outdoors and with Walking poles.
Kind words....
I've done some of Jordan's walking workouts. Pretty good stuff!
I enjoy walking!
Walking in a pool is also an option for people who have impact issues. I teach a class that uses walking in different directions using different techniques to improve balance and coordination. 🖖🏻
I walk my back yard 15 min at a time. Easy on knees
Great idea! Never thought of something like that - will try.
I like that brad add spondylolisthesis point of view
Great ideas. I love my hour walk outside EARLY morning (6am) as I live in the country and surrounded by almond orchards. Now is harvest-so so dusty and bad to breathe.

What do you all think about Rebounders, mini trampolines?
YT had been suggesting videos about those and I finally watched one after seeing your comment. It sounds like a very beneficial exercise, lots of research behind it - even NASA thinks it is the best exercise for returning astronauts. I think I might go buy a rebounder one of these months... My dad used to do it back in the 80's when I was a kid and I thought it was kind of lame - but not anymore!
With PTTD in both feet and fibromyalgia...any advice for putting this into my health journey? Thanks for this and prayers continue for Bob .. he is an inspiration!
We don't have any videos on that specific topic at this time but we have a few on flat feet that may be worth a look ruclips.net/p/PL8l32k1r15l6lbwN4XDKTMZ59HUSqk364
I need to do more walking. Think I will start with in one walking in place
I just walk around the house. It's surprising how many steps you can get in if you do it in small batches throughout the day.
Love your videos, as always! Is there a reason you don’t walk with your knees straight ahead??
Thanks for watching!
I do exercise videos and hike normally two days a week using trekking poles.
Hey, great job guys! I'm looking for the motivation to exercise more. I walk during my job. I'm bad at caring for myself outside of work. Do you have any videos to remind me of the basic goals?
These are great ideas for indoor exercise. I have arthritis in my feet, ankles and back, and so far, the best treatment I have found (besides physical therapy) has been some prescribed custom made orthopedic insoles that were made by a pedorthist. A pedorthist is not a podiatrist! Pedorthists specialize in making medical insoles. They are expensive! Mine were $450, and they're not always covered by insurance, but for me, they have been well worth it. I'm back to walking a mile each day and my back feels much better too.
