    I have rheumatoid arthritis and severe back injury and have been disabled for 5 years. Left leg was paralyzed. Lots of back infiltrations and cortisone. I lived in Belgium and worked hard for 30 years as an independent baker. I have been living in the countryside in France for 3 years now. I could hardly walk, go shopping and my household. I started walking every day with small steps and now to 5000 to 7000 steps a day and I have never felt so good mentally and physically. I now have a goal to get up every day and in the meantime have become a healthy addiction and I recommend it to everyone. In the meantime I hardly take any medication anymore and I eat very healthy and it feels so good. I have been doing the Wim Hof ​​method for 4 months now with breathing exercises and cold showers and my body and life have changed completely positively for which I am extremely grateful. Thank you for your positive contribution, for which I am very grateful. Namaste🙏💟

      It works because your body prefers using bodyfat as an energy source during walking instead of other sources, because bodyfat is a steady and long lasting energy supplier. When you run your body will prefer using glycogen instead of bodyfat. Walking is also a great excercise for when you fast for longer periods of time because it suppresses hunger.

    Great advice : After going up to 83kg skinny-fat during lockdown, I started doing 7.5km walks every day. Took 70 minutes. Walking fast, at a pace where I would be out of breath if trying to hold a conversation. Keep pushing till the end of the walk. Dropped 0.5kg per week consistently till I hit 76kg (eg after losing 7kg in approx 3 months ). I did no other physical activity. Stopped eating bread was the only other change I made (and I didn't eat much bread to begin with). Even at a slow pace, say 2 steps per second, means 1000 steps takes 500 seconds so approximately 10 minutes. So 6000 steps in 1 hour, which is probably about 4.5km. If you really march it out (say 3 steps per second ), 1000 steps takes 350 seconds, so approximately 6 minutes. So 10,000 steps in 1 hour, which is probably about 7-7.5km. Definitely doable. If you go with a friend, don't chat : if you're walking hard enough, you won't have breath to do it. In non-lockdown life, you'll probably add another 7,000 steps just walking around doing normal things. So 15,000+ steps a day should be doable for everyone with 1 hour dedicated to a fast walk

      This. Going at the maximum pace you can breathe through your nose or complete a sentence but not too much higher so that you're huffing and puffing. That's about the maximum rate your body can burn fat with oxygen, beyond that your body can mostly only burn glucose anerobically, which it will use muscle and protein to make that glucose longer term.

    I’m 53 now and find long walks 10 plus miles kill my hips. I changed to short bursts of HIT max 30 minutes, this keeps the fat off and allows me to keep decent muscle mass. These videos are relaxing and good honest advice, diet is so important, there is no quick fix, hard work, discipline and enjoy it, if you don’t enjoy the lifestyle dont do it.

    Walking is my go-to exercise. Another way to break through a plateau is to walk with added weight. Weighted vests are pretty affordable. You can add weight in 5 kg increments or less depending on your vest’s design. 5 kg may not seem like much, but trust me, walking 10k steps with a 5kg vest will kick your ass if you’ve never done it. And vests go up to 30 kg or more. 10,000 steps with 30 kg on you is a brutal workout.

    I'm one of those lucky enough to have a treadmill at home so when the weather's bad I hop on that. I can barely manage 6km though. Just a bit of useless information, 10,000 steps is about 8km and takes about 1.40 hours depending on your speed and length of stride. It takes me about 1.30 hours to do 6kms but then I only walk at about 3.5 - 4 kms per hour. But as he says, if you don't eat right, all the walking will not make a speck of difference and getting the bigger lean body mass also burns more calories. That's true for both males and females.

    EASY WAY TO ESTIMATE CALORIES WHEN WALKING
    Edit:
    Factors like intensity, scale, etc. of course have an impact. But as a rule of thumb - of just walking casually - this should apply pretty well in the big picture.
    Something i learned during my weight loss, was that for each KM you walk, you burn your weight in KG in calories. So if i weigh 80kg and walk 1km, i burn 80kcal. Although running will make you more fit, you still will only burn the same amount of calories when going the same distance. Of course it will be faster to run than walk, but It's all about distance.

While running 1km will of course of bring you there faster - and it's prob healthier and will make you fitter etc, - you should burn around the amount of calories like if you walked.
