I injured myself doing my strength training a couple days ago and just started walking at home. I've lost 88 pounds already doing intermittent fasting and my strength training and can't go back. My back hurts slightly but I know this will help. I appreciate your channel.
I motivate myself by walking to/from a restaurant. I walk 1.5 miles to a lunch place, eat a healthy 800 calorie meal, then walk home. The walk burns about 300 cal., so it's like a 500 cal. meal but much more satisfying.
My son works at a restaurant exactly 6 miles away from my front door. I can start walking at 8PM and by 10PM I'm can be at the restaurant while they're just finishing up. I get my miso soup and hop in my son's car to go home. On weekends, I go on trail hikes - backcountry. Very very awesome. I could drive sometimes up to 2 hours to some trailhead, walk for 4 hours (I go 10+ miles) then drive home. It's a very refreshing way to relax. Oh yeah, trail hiking is not at all like neighborhood hiking. It's definitely not boring.
I've been walking at home for almost 2 years now. And your video is the reason that I'm walking right now while i listen to you. Thanks for sharing this nice piece of knowledge.
I walk 6 miles a day to work. I do long distance national trails, I love walking in beautiful scenery, for me I need to be outside, walking in the house would make me claustrophobic but think your method is fabulous for anyone who worries about walking outside, it's safe, warm and dry and a great way to keep fit. Very inspiring!
I thought the most interesting part of what she was saying was that she wanted to "excuse-proof" herself. Most of us would enjoy or at least prefer walking outside in the middle of beautiful scenery in comparison to just walking back and forth in the hallway but there are many reasons why someone might not be able to and then they just can't exercise! So she pointed out the value of getting rid of the need to have special equipment or circumstances, she was going to get her steps in no matter what, no excuses, even if it was walking back and forth in the house.
When I was 45 I started walking like 2 miles and every day I increased it then I reached 5 miles a day..I was so motivated to keep going cuz I was losing weigh like crazy..yes I cut out all the junk food .Before I knew it I was walking 5 miles twice a day and running down all the hills..On rainy day Leslie Sanson was great for indoors..and yes you have to walk a little faster than a normal walk..great way to meet you're neighbors..and of course I wasnt working any jobs so it was Alot .. easier.. Really all you have to do is start out one foot in front of the other ..and keep GOING!! OH it only took my one night to get into walking..I fell in love the way it made me feel "AWSOME"
The best way to keep me motivated to walk is to walk with someone. I've been walking with my neighbor five miles a day, three days a week for the past two years. I will also walk with my husband anywhere between 2-4 miles a day when he gets home from work. We walk year round, even when it's snowing and in temperatures as cold as negative eleven degrees. We rarely miss a day, and it really makes a difference knowing that my neighbor is waiting for me to meet her in the morning, or hubby and I can enjoy a private conversation outside without our teens interrupting. I typically average around 20-25 miles a week in the winter months and 40-45 miles a week in the summer months. Like she said you just put one foot in front of the other.
Thanks for the encouraging words and tips. I am in week six of my OMAD lifestyle and have been walking inside basically since the beginning. I bought a fit bit recently as a reward for losing 15.5 pounds. I will work my way and walk while watching your videos to get my steps in. Walking 6 miles is a huge accomplishment. I am proud of you. I have been doing 10,000 steps 3 times a week and 5,000-8,000 the other days. Your channel was recommended to me by Cal. Tina
I love your simple aproach! Lost 22kg myself with fasting and keto diet. Now i dumped keto and just eat 80% ish clean and still do intermittant fasting mostly 18/6 . Gonna share your channel with a friend of mine ahe ll love your easy nocexcuse aproach ❤️
This sounds similar to my routine. I walk from work to home 5 miles 2 to 3 times a week which helps. I also do intermittent fasting twice a week. This helps me lose weight slowly and steadily.
I;m doing exactly what you do. 12,000 steps every day, which is 5 miles a day. My poor neighbors down stairs may think I'm crazy, I eat once a day, and I'm sure I found a lifetime way to leave. Your are great. Keep enlighting people.
I’m so glad I watched this because since I subscribed I always thought you were walking 6 miles outside or on a treadmill everyday! I can’t do that with my little kids but this is encouraging☺️
I was going to mention these videos, Leslie Sansone. she will change up the walking to challenge you a little by lifting knees higher or kicking foot behind.
It depends on which walk it is. I like her best when she is alone... she gets a little silly sometimes. I don't mean it to criticize because she's taught me a lot, but when you are listening to the same dvd for the 30th time, it's just not funny anymore.
Fantastic! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I smiled when you talked about watching Netflix or being on social media while walking. I discovered this too and do this while using the stationary bike in my room....sometimes I binge watch Judge Judy or watch pre-recorded TV programs while cycling. This has made exercising more fun for me.
First time ever yesterday I walked my 4 miles BEFORE I left to go out of town for the day. My brother rolled his eyes when I arrived a lil late n I said it was because my walking was most important. I pray while walking outside. I have a treadmill but love outdoors! Unfortunately I live in eastern iowa so when snow comes it'll be treadmill for me! Sometimes I bribe myself with a frozen drink or treat if I go all out but I find the euphoria at end of day when I see 15-20,000 steps is a natural payoff. Losing weight has been a natural encouragement too. Good video. Keep 'em comin! 😁
I love it! Yep, in 2016 when I decided to truly make my 6 miles a priority, I started doing things like that too. Waking up early and getting them in before we left, or doing them after we arrived somewhere. Where there's a will, there's a way! Thanks for watching!
That's exactly what I did. I've lost forty pounds walking in the house. Then I also do twists and use little 5 lb. weights. I don't go for exhibitionist outdoor exercise. I like the privacy and as you said- Weather isn't a factor.Thanks.
"Now I would walk six whole miles... and I would walk six whole more... just to eat my dinner and burn some fat... oh, dee da dee da dee da dooooo...." (to the tune of "I Would Walk 500 Miles") Giggle.
Yes. I hear lots of people say diet first, then exercise which completely makes sense. You can't outexercise a bad diet. You can also walk in place ( like Leslie Sansone) while even watching tv. She is vey motivating. I also like to listening to music for motivation. Congrats on your weight loss.😃😃
I also have found it useful to walk during a tv show like jeopardy/wheel, or the news. It's an hour, or so, after dinner that I feel good about walking, and they're shows that I don't have to watch. I can listen and catch a glimpse as I pass near a tv or 2.
Yep, I have walked many miles watching various TV shows. And as far as walking after eating, there's a Chinese proverb that says "if you take 100 steps after each meal, you’ll live to 99." Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kayla, You are such an inspiration 😊 Thank you SO Much for sharing 👍 I need to shed some unwanted kilos as I need Spinal Fusion very soon and know I will NOT be too active afterwards!!! A huge benefit going into surgery fit will help recovery. I have been intermittent fasting for about 8 weeks (I started originally last Oct then had a break in March ) I feel SO much better when Fasting It has become a part of me I Usually do the 16/8 But here and their it will vary by like an hour either side ! I have also started walking ea day I have an app that came with my ph ! So this is brilliant 👌 It’s AMAZING how much we DO walk Around the home so now going for walks is a bonus (Ortho Surgeon wants me to Be safely as active as I can be ) I find I will eat at 7-.7.30 pm Then next day 1st meal between 11.30-12 then 2nd meal again at 7-7.30 What I have noticed is now and then I can definitely only need meal ! As if my fast goes over like it does time to time , say to 1.30 -2pm then I am not hungry at dinner Just wasn’t sure if this was ok ? I am wondering now maybe I can change my windows of fasting To 18/6 ? Thanks again for all you information 😍
Thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm glad to hear you're finding success with walking and fasting too! I very slowly pushed my window out, so that it always felt effortless. I personally pushed my window out like 30 minutes to an hour at a time, but that was just because that's when I felt ready. Also, check with your doc and make sure they're good with your plan since you're getting this surgery and you don't want to hinder your recovery.
Hi from Brunei. just watched your vid on the walking inside house vid. glad came across your vid (plus the news where elders walking inside her house to be srill active) I'm walking inside the house now lol
I love this idea! Both for the extra exercise and because I'm famous for washing, folding and then... making daily runs to the folded pile to get clean clothes 😹
Love your videos. You have given me some more ideas of things to do while walking my 3 mile an hour. I measured with my car outside 3 miles and then walked it in 55 minutes...I do walk 60minutes in my apartment. I am sorry about two comments!!
I have been walking one hour a day..usually evening..for the last year..I have walked 3: 5ks since march.trying one a month. I just want to finish..I am 69 years old. Now I am walking in my apartment because it is cooler..air conditionr
Janet Shenefield I recommend watching Dr Berg's videos and Dr Rhonda Patrick's videos. They have lots of really helpful health related stuff. You might also want to look into barefoot shoes like vibrams.
Wow! that's exactly what i do ,i walk in my house around my kitchen island for 3o minutes Am & 30 Pm. sometimes 1 hr in the pm. If my sugar level spikes or I ate a bit more like on Sunday funday for me. Im diabetic and doing Keto now for one month and lost some weight and need to loose 20 more or so... thanks for your vid. really inspiring indeed!
Thanks. Sounded crazy at first so this video was good to help me understand. I can walk in my house. I can break it up over the course of the day. I can watch videos, listen to podcasts or books. All very helpful. Great no-excuses approach.
Just found your channel and I love the information! I recently started walking in place while watching Netflix. I also discovered the app zombies run. I listen to it and pause my show when the clips come on 😄 I am about to start fasting too. Thanks for the great info
I'm super thankful that people have found my story inspiring. Thanks so much for your kind words. And hey, put your story out there too. I'm sure it would inspire people!
I do push ups by the hundreds, although I started with only a few. The important part is the intermittent fasting. I believe that one of the benefits of intermittent fasting is that you find more energy and that makes exercising easier and more enjoyable. I started my intermittent fasting at age 52, 10 years ago. Lost 60 lbs by age 56. So age is not an impediment.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing how you had success, and for sharing your age as well. A lot of people ask me if intermittent fasting will help someone over the age of 50. I'm happy to point them to stories like yours! I agree, intermittent fasting gives me energy too.
Well said! About 80 or 90% of weight loss comes from diet and not exercise but exercise is still really good for physical health and you just feel better overall
Thank you very much for sharing this! My daughter thinks I am weird but I have been walking in my home and garage for the same reasons you mentioned. 😁
I also get my miles in at home. I walk in the house. Our house is big and open plan. I literally walk or run laps. My husband has a 90 minute commute and whilst he’s driving I’m walking chatting to him on the phone. I also have a stepper which I use at least 20 minutes at a time, three times a day. I have a mini trampoline and I bounce to music. Easy way to get good steps in that way too. Fun a varied and as you said, break it up over your day.
I do intermittinf fasting as well and Keri.. it's the best thing I have ever done . .Walking is a stress reliever..Its all about Sugar and keeping your stress low!!
You’ve inspired me. I don’t know if I can do all of my goal in my house but it’s a start!! Digging out the old Fitbit now. Thanks for this and your fasting video. :)
Hi Kayla! I really enjoy your channel. I love the stories where you interview people who have had intermittent fasting success. Why do those videos have the comments turned off? I would love to maybe share something under those videos or congratulate that person. Anyway...wishing you a Happy 2022!! :))
Wow two hours... I could definitely do that with podcasts etc as you mentioned. Only problem is I live in a small condo so I feel like I'd get dizzy pretty quickly lol
Hi, I just subscribed. Another tip that works for me is if you're open to traveling outside your home picking different scenic locations or different parks or neighborhoods that are nice to walk and it keeps me entertained.
Hi Kayla. I found your RUclips site from your vids on walking 6 miles a day. Been doing IF for almost 20 years now. Started IF after getting back from thruhikes of 2000 mile distance or more that lasted 4 to 5 months. Used IF to get my eating back on schedule. I would lose 1 pound a day for the first month and 1/2 pound for the second month while hiking. Burning 6000 calories a day, eating 2500 per day. 3500 calories defecate equaling one pound. After that I was burning muscle, fat brain cells, etc. Just thought you would find this interesting. Hanging tough. Peace and Love.
@@joaninha3484 no, I wish but I have started watching old cartoons in Spanish and listening to Spanish songs and I am starting to understand some things spoken. It's hard at first because they speak so fast but it's fun stuff for me. Scooby Doo sounds funny in Spanish, LOL
One way to walk a lot for me is cooking, cleaning, painting, washing the car, gardening plus more while at home. Meanwhile I also watch TV and stay on my smart phone. I do 8-10k steps a day.
Kayla has published over 150 topical videos about intermittent fasting on this channel. If you have a question about Intermittent Fasting for weight loss that you can't find the answer to, you can submit your question here: sixmilestosupper.com/ask/ and Kayla will work on making a video in response to it. If you need step by step courses and group coaching, go here: sixmilestosupper.com/courses - J.R.
Thank you for the great tips. Sorry if you've answered this elsewhere, but do you simply keep track on your pedometer & make sure that by the end of the day your total distance, after all of your daily activity, equals 6 miles? How many steps does that equal for you, about 12,ooo? Another fun & healthy way to get in some steps is to jump or jog on a mini trampoline. I try to do that a few times throughout the day to get my lymph & blood circulating. Even just a few minutes, like 3-5, can be very invigorating. I mix it up with some light bouncing & jogging while I watch tv. They're pretty affordable & can be tucked away under a bed.
Katarina, it's about 14,000 steps according to my Fitbit. And yes, the 6 miles includes my daily activity. Thanks for sharing about the mini trampoline, it sounds fun. Jumping on a trampoline was one of my things to do when I was a kid.
Didn’t expect to learn much or anything really but I’m shocked this was a great video with really great ways for me to do what I need to do with no slacking thanks so much!!
Just found your channel. Just what I'm looking for. I sent you a Fitbit friend request. Hope trying to keep up with you will get me more motivated. Since school is out I'm using my mornings to get moving before my little one wakes up. Love your idea about getting steps inside. I would ruin the carpet in our small house Haha. But on bad weather days that's a great plan!
I just found your videos and I love them, thank you so much for the great tips. I do have a question, what time of the day do you eat your one meal? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your kind comments! I eat my meal around 6 or 6:30. I don't freak out if it needs to be earlier or later than that if our schedule dictates it. (:
My current plan is walk 6 miles 6 days a week (I take Sundays off both from fasting and from a step goal). I do OMAD most days most weeks, though there are some days I do 2MAD. My weight goal is simply to maintain in the 140s. If for any reason my weight creeps to 150 or above, I go back to my old reliable plan of OMAD 6 days a week, and keep my walking goals the same.
I have a wireless headset that connects to my computer and I can make phone calls from there, listen to podcast or RUclips videos and whatever else and I have 1000 square-foot apartment and I can easily get 12 to 14,000 steps daily!
That's awesome. I've got some wireless headphones that I really enjoy. Thanks for commenting! So many people mistakenly think you need tons of square footage to do this.
Thank you for your video! I live in an apartment building with 32 floors. If I can't walk outside, then I sometimes walk up and down the stairs. I also have a part-time job early in the morning that I walk to when the weather is good.
Once i walked 55 minutes (medium pace) while talking on the phone with my girl. And I didn't even realize that I walked so much without getting much tired. My intention was not exercise, it was late night and i wasn't getting a taxi. I guess we don't feel much tired when our (genuine) focus is not on the exercise when we are exercising
If it is bad weather how many miles on a stationary bike equals 6 miles walking? I know...a ton of feathers is the same of a ton of rocks, but the volume is different.
I do the same system on a 1990s style stair climber that my family stored in my garage for years (the one with shocks). I tried weights but I cant get Into a routine with weights. I like the simplicity of getting on a machine and getting it done. Podcasts are awesome. But 80s motivation music is is the best : "your the best" from Karate kid soundtrack. we have the same routine accept I use antique stair climber.
Thanks love your videos! I am new to IF, just started with a 12 hour fast this week and you have inspired me to try this walking 6 miles a day, appreciate your time in sharing your experience and advice.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Dana! Let me know how it goes for you! I've found it is almost impossible to be in a bad mood after I walk 6 miles.
The fact that you said walk in the house just blew all my excuses away.
I injured myself doing my strength training a couple days ago and just started walking at home. I've lost 88 pounds already doing intermittent fasting and my strength training and can't go back. My back hurts slightly but I know this will help. I appreciate your channel.
Sorry you got injured. Congratulations on losing 88 pounds! That's life changing right there! (:
I motivate myself by walking to/from a restaurant. I walk 1.5 miles to a lunch place, eat a healthy 800 calorie meal, then walk home. The walk burns about 300 cal., so it's like a 500 cal. meal but much more satisfying.
I love that! And I definitely find it helps my digestion if I walk after a meal!
Larry Storey I know a guy who does this. Only eats at restaurants he actually walks to.
I also walk for my meals. It is rewarding.
My son works at a restaurant exactly 6 miles away from my front door. I can start walking at 8PM and by 10PM I'm can be at the restaurant while they're just finishing up. I get my miso soup and hop in my son's car to go home.
On weekends, I go on trail hikes - backcountry. Very very awesome. I could drive sometimes up to 2 hours to some trailhead, walk for 4 hours (I go 10+ miles) then drive home. It's a very refreshing way to relax. Oh yeah, trail hiking is not at all like neighborhood hiking. It's definitely not boring.

Yeah when you live in the Midwest it’s hard to always walk outside. I like her idea of not leaving herself room for excuses. I needed to hear this
i would walk to work but the last time i did that the pitbull stray made me just run instead
When I was 45 I started walking like 2 miles and every day I increased it then I reached 5 miles a day..I was so motivated to keep going cuz I was losing weigh like crazy..yes I cut out all the junk food .Before I knew it I was walking 5 miles twice a day and running down all the hills..On rainy day Leslie Sanson was great for indoors..and yes you have to walk a little faster than a normal walk..great way to meet you're neighbors..and of course I wasnt working any jobs so it was Alot .. easier.. Really all you have to do is start out one foot in front of the other ..and keep GOING!! OH it only took my one night to get into walking..I fell in love the way it made me feel "AWSOME"
The best way to keep me motivated to walk is to walk with someone. I've been walking with my neighbor five miles a day, three days a week for the past two years. I will also walk with my husband anywhere between 2-4 miles a day when he gets home from work. We walk year round, even when it's snowing and in temperatures as cold as negative eleven degrees. We rarely miss a day, and it really makes a difference knowing that my neighbor is waiting for me to meet her in the morning, or hubby and I can enjoy a private conversation outside without our teens interrupting. I typically average around 20-25 miles a week in the winter months and 40-45 miles a week in the summer months. Like she said you just put one foot in front of the other.
Thanks for the encouraging words and tips. I am in week six of my OMAD lifestyle and have been walking inside basically since the beginning. I bought a fit bit recently as a reward for losing 15.5 pounds. I will work my way and walk while watching your videos to get my steps in. Walking 6 miles is a huge accomplishment. I am proud of you.

Congratulations on losing 15.5 pounds! And thanks for your encouragement!
Always surprised when the "universe" sends me somewhere unexpected. You were my blessing today. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for that kind comment! I'm glad you got something out of it!
God, not the universe x
I love your simple aproach! Lost 22kg myself with fasting and keto diet. Now i dumped keto and just eat 80% ish clean and still do intermittant fasting mostly 18/6 . Gonna share your channel with a friend of mine ahe ll love your easy nocexcuse aproach ❤️
That's awesome. Congrats on your success! Thanks for sharing my channel with your friend!
Leslie Sansone walking the pounds off videos are good too.
This sounds similar to my routine. I walk from work to home 5 miles 2 to 3 times a week which helps. I also do intermittent fasting twice a week. This helps me lose weight slowly and steadily.
I;m doing exactly what you do. 12,000 steps every day, which is 5 miles a day. My poor neighbors down stairs may think I'm crazy, I eat once a day, and I'm sure I found a lifetime way to leave. Your are great. Keep enlighting people.
I always think that when I'm getting my steps in in a hotel room! Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I’m so glad I watched this because since I subscribed I always thought you were walking 6 miles outside or on a treadmill everyday! I can’t do that with my little kids but this is encouraging☺️
I do the same, about ten minutes every half hour throughout the day. Works great.
I got my partner to walk 6 miles a day, by the end of the week shes 42 miles away
Haha!!
Leslie Sansone walk videos are great!
That's great! She seems very motivating!
Beverley Cumming Yes, I love her videos as well.
I was going to mention these videos, Leslie Sansone. she will change up the walking to challenge you a little by lifting knees higher or kicking foot behind.
I can only do if I turn off the sound.. Talks to participants as if they were children.
It depends on which walk it is. I like her best when she is alone... she gets a little silly sometimes. I don't mean it to criticize because she's taught me a lot, but when you are listening to the same dvd for the 30th time, it's just not funny anymore.
I can't run or jog.... M an asthma patient hence I tried walking on 15incline for40mins, it's my day 4,plz pray for me🙈
May God bless you
You’re awesome! You can do this girly!
Fantastic! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I smiled when you talked about watching Netflix or being on social media while walking. I discovered this too and do this while using the stationary bike in my room....sometimes I binge watch Judge Judy or watch pre-recorded TV programs while cycling.

(: It's really important to make it fun! You'll stick with it.

Thanks! You'll do a lot of good when people realize they can exercise right in their own home without having to spend a lot of money.
That's my hope!
Since Jan 1, 2019 I walk 2hrs a day. Today May 10, 2019 I’ve walked 934miles so far
"Now I would walk six whole miles... and I would walk six whole more... just to eat my dinner and burn some fat... oh, dee da dee da dee da dooooo...." (to the tune of "I Would Walk 500 Miles")
Giggle.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m Omad and walking 3 to 4 mikes a day, with great benefits. I listen to music and just get out and walk ... simple but effective, and free 😊
I love free!
Yes. I hear lots of people say diet first, then exercise which completely makes sense. You can't outexercise a bad diet.
You can also walk in place ( like Leslie Sansone) while even watching tv. She is vey motivating. I also like to listening to music for motivation. Congrats on your weight loss.😃😃
Thanks! Yes, many a night when I first started doing this, I was pacing back and forth in my living room, binge watching Fringe with my husband!
@@SixMilesToSupper One of the best sci-fi series ever!!!
Now I know why my husband is thin. He usually skips a meal or two, and can't stop pacing everywhere.
I also have found it useful to walk during a tv show like jeopardy/wheel, or the news. It's an hour, or so, after dinner that I feel good about walking, and they're shows that I don't have to watch. I can listen and catch a glimpse as I pass near a tv or 2.
Yep, I have walked many miles watching various TV shows. And as far as walking after eating, there's a Chinese proverb that says "if you take 100 steps after each meal, you’ll live to 99." Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderfully relaxed and balanced approach to fitness! I love it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for your kind comment, Elsa! Glad you liked the video.
i needed this so much. i honestly think you just saved my life. THANK YOU!
Well I'm glad you found the video helpful! I hope you keep me updated on how it goes for you!
Hi Kayla,
You are such an inspiration 😊
Thank you SO
Much for sharing 👍
I need to shed some unwanted kilos as I need Spinal Fusion very soon and know I will NOT be too active afterwards!!!
A huge benefit going into surgery fit will help recovery.
I have been intermittent fasting for about 8 weeks (I started originally last Oct then had a break in March )
I feel SO much better when Fasting
It has become a part of me
I Usually do the 16/8 But here and their it will vary by like an hour either side !
I have also started walking ea day I have an app that came with my ph !
So this is brilliant 👌
It’s AMAZING how much we DO walk Around the home so now going for walks is a bonus (Ortho Surgeon wants me to Be safely as active as I can be )
I find I will eat at 7-.7.30 pm
Then next day 1st meal between 11.30-12 then 2nd meal again at 7-7.30
What I have noticed is now and then I can definitely only need meal !
As if my fast goes over like it does time to time , say to 1.30 -2pm then
I am not hungry at dinner
Just wasn’t sure if this was ok ?
I am wondering now maybe I can change my windows of fasting To 18/6 ?
Thanks again for all you information 😍
Thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm glad to hear you're finding success with walking and fasting too! I very slowly pushed my window out, so that it always felt effortless. I personally pushed my window out like 30 minutes to an hour at a time, but that was just because that's when I felt ready. Also, check with your doc and make sure they're good with your plan since you're getting this surgery and you don't want to hinder your recovery.
Hi from Brunei. just watched your vid on the walking inside house vid. glad came across your vid (plus the news where elders walking inside her house to be srill active)
I'm walking inside the house now lol
I get extra steps in when folding laundry. Like instead of sitting and folding, stand and kind of walk around and put the clothes away as I go more!
Yes! I did that too!
I love this idea! Both for the extra exercise and because I'm famous for washing, folding and then... making daily runs to the folded pile to get clean clothes 😹
I march in place while drying my hair...
Love your videos. You have given me some more ideas of things to do while walking my 3 mile an hour. I measured with my car outside 3 miles and then walked it in 55 minutes...I do walk 60minutes in my apartment. I am sorry about two comments!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Janet! I'm glad I gave you some ideas! Thanks for sharing what you do!
I have been walking one hour a day..usually evening..for the last year..I have walked 3: 5ks since march.trying one a month. I just want to finish..I am 69 years old. Now I am walking in my apartment because it is cooler..air conditionr
That is so awesome! I love it. Good luck on your next 5k. And I love air conditioning too!
Janet Shenefield I recommend watching Dr Berg's videos and Dr Rhonda Patrick's videos. They have lots of really helpful health related stuff.
You might also want to look into barefoot shoes like vibrams.

Wow! that's exactly what i do ,i walk in my house around my kitchen island for 3o minutes Am & 30 Pm. sometimes 1 hr in the pm. If my sugar level spikes or I ate a bit more like on Sunday funday for me. Im diabetic and doing Keto now for one month and lost some weight and need to loose 20 more or so... thanks for your vid. really inspiring indeed!
Congratulations on your weight loss success so far! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Felicia. Around your kitchen island? Im getting dizzy thinking about that! Good for you.
Thanks. Sounded crazy at first so this video was good to help me understand. I can walk in my house. I can break it up over the course of the day. I can watch videos, listen to podcasts or books. All very helpful. Great no-excuses approach.
You’re an inspiration. I congratulate you on your achievement and wish you health and wellness in your future!!
Thank you Mary Ellen!
Just found your channel and I love the information! I recently started walking in place while watching Netflix. I also discovered the app zombies run. I listen to it and pause my show when the clips come on 😄 I am about to start fasting too. Thanks for the great info
I walk 10 miles minimum every day, sometimes 12 miles. The most I walk is 15 miles which is usually done about once a week.
That is awesome. Good for you!
Thank you. I would also like to help and inspire people like you are doing. Keep up the great work!
I'm super thankful that people have found my story inspiring. Thanks so much for your kind words. And hey, put your story out there too. I'm sure it would inspire people!
You are very welcome. I thought about that, but I am not quite camera ready. lol
I know what you mean. It took me until I lost the weight before I could even start to get comfortable on camera.
I do push ups by the hundreds, although I started with only a few. The important part is the intermittent fasting. I believe that one of the benefits of intermittent fasting is that you find more energy and that makes exercising easier and more enjoyable. I started my intermittent fasting at age 52, 10 years ago. Lost 60 lbs by age 56. So age is not an impediment.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing how you had success, and for sharing your age as well. A lot of people ask me if intermittent fasting will help someone over the age of 50. I'm happy to point them to stories like yours! I agree, intermittent fasting gives me energy too.
Intermittent fasting it is excellent for controlling insulin resistance, the basis of Type II diabetes, something very common in women and men my age.
Well said! About 80 or 90% of weight loss comes from diet and not exercise but exercise is still really good for physical health and you just feel better overall
Thank you very much for sharing this! My daughter thinks I am weird but I have been walking in my home and garage for the same reasons you mentioned. 😁
Haha! My kids think I'm weird too! It's funny that at first I really did feel self conscious doing this, even though it was only my kids watching me!
I also get my miles in at home. I walk in the house. Our house is big and open plan. I literally walk or run laps. My husband has a 90 minute commute and whilst he’s driving I’m walking chatting to him on the phone. I also have a stepper which I use at least 20 minutes at a time, three times a day. I have a mini trampoline and I bounce to music. Easy way to get good steps in that way too. Fun a varied and as you said, break it up over your day.
That is awesome! And so neat that you get to connect with your husband that way. So good for your marriage!
You have inspired me. The weather is bad here 6 months a year and treadmills give me motion sickness so this is something I can do!
I do intermittinf fasting as well and Keri.. it's the best thing I have ever done . .Walking is a stress reliever..Its all about Sugar and keeping your stress low!!
That is the truth! Walking is the best stress relief I have found. Thanks for watching!
Love it! You can never out run or out walk your fork! You're awesome!
Why thanks! Yep, that phrase runs through my head at least once a day. (:
Thank you. This was very helpful. Your skin looks amazing.
You’ve inspired me. I don’t know if I can do all of my goal in my house but it’s a start!! Digging out the old Fitbit now. Thanks for this and your fasting video. :)
Alright Mel! Thanks for your kind comment. After you dig out the fitbit, be my friend on there: www.fitbit.com/user/329KJ3
I was getting my steps in while watching this
I am so proud of you!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Kayla! I really enjoy your channel. I love the stories where you interview people who have had intermittent fasting success. Why do those videos have the comments turned off? I would love to maybe share something under those videos or congratulate that person. Anyway...wishing you a Happy 2022!! :))
Good video, very inspiring, I started walking 1/2 mile per day now I am averaging about 2 miles a day.
That is awesome! Thanks for your kind words!
They have walking you tube videos that are fun that you can do at home!
I’ve been watching all your videos and find it so helpful!
Thanks for your kind words!
Wow two hours... I could definitely do that with podcasts etc as you mentioned. Only problem is I live in a small condo so I feel like I'd get dizzy pretty quickly lol
Yeah, my husband gets dizzy like that too. I have heard of others just marching in place.
Our local arena has a excellent running/walking track. Been going there for the last month and walking about 60-70 minutes 5x per week
Awesome!
Hi, I just subscribed. Another tip that works for me is if you're open to traveling outside your home picking different scenic locations or different parks or neighborhoods that are nice to walk and it keeps me entertained.
Thanks for subscribing! Those are great suggestions for getting your steps in!
Hi Kayla. I found your RUclips site from your vids on walking 6 miles a day.
Been doing IF for almost 20 years now. Started IF after getting back from thruhikes of 2000 mile distance or more that lasted 4 to 5 months. Used IF to get my eating back on schedule. I would lose 1 pound a day for the first month and 1/2 pound for the second month while hiking. Burning 6000 calories a day, eating 2500 per day. 3500 calories defecate equaling one pound. After that I was burning muscle, fat brain cells, etc. Just thought you would find this interesting. Hanging tough. Peace and Love.
What a great video! Thank you for all the tipsAND now there are no more excuses 😁
Great point, sometimes I just don't feel like going out.
I'm learning a new language so I listen to my lessons while walking
Are you fluent yet? 😂
@@joaninha3484 no, I wish but I have started watching old cartoons in Spanish and listening to Spanish songs and I am starting to understand some things spoken. It's hard at first because they speak so fast but it's fun stuff for me. Scooby Doo sounds funny in Spanish, LOL
Walking is a great daily exercise!
I love walking but always get my steps in. You have inspired me!
One way to walk a lot for me is cooking, cleaning, painting, washing the car, gardening plus more while at home.
Meanwhile I also watch TV and stay on my smart phone. I do 8-10k steps a day.
arif ali very true! Whenever I cook a big meal and clean the house I can easily get 10 k but when I don’t I struggle to get them.
I like watching your videos while I'm walking.
Thanks for the suggestions! I am going to ty the 66 day goal.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes for you!
This is great advice. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Good information! The background music is distracting though! 😊
lol, yeah that one was from waaay back. I did an updated version here: ruclips.net/video/0hqjjZmFYgs/видео.html
I walk and dance (in the safety of my room so that I won't make my children gag lol) love your straight to the point videos. New sub
Me to I love walking my favorite exercise and dancing in the house
Great suggestions. I am sharing your video in my Facebook group. HUGS FROM TEXAS!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Kayla has published over 150 topical videos about intermittent fasting on this channel. If you have a question about Intermittent Fasting for weight loss that you can't find the answer to, you can submit your question here: sixmilestosupper.com/ask/ and Kayla will work on making a video in response to it. If you need step by step courses and group coaching, go here: sixmilestosupper.com/courses - J.R.
Thank you for the great tips. Sorry if you've answered this elsewhere, but do you simply keep track on your pedometer & make sure that by the end of the day your total distance, after all of your daily activity, equals 6 miles? How many steps does that equal for you, about 12,ooo?
Another fun & healthy way to get in some steps is to jump or jog on a mini trampoline. I try to do that a few times throughout the day to get my lymph & blood circulating. Even just a few minutes, like 3-5, can be very invigorating. I mix it up with some light bouncing & jogging while I watch tv. They're pretty affordable & can be tucked away under a bed.
Katarina, it's about 14,000 steps according to my Fitbit. And yes, the 6 miles includes my daily activity. Thanks for sharing about the mini trampoline, it sounds fun. Jumping on a trampoline was one of my things to do when I was a kid.

Didn’t expect to learn much or anything really but I’m shocked this was a great video with really great ways for me to do what I need to do with no slacking thanks so much!!
Good video. You are correct about changing how you eat. You can't out exercise a bad diet!!!😄😄😄
Just found your channel. Just what I'm looking for. I sent you a Fitbit friend request. Hope trying to keep up with you will get me more motivated. Since school is out I'm using my mornings to get moving before my little one wakes up. Love your idea about getting steps inside. I would ruin the carpet in our small house Haha. But on bad weather days that's a great plan!
Yay! I accepted your friend request a few minutes ago! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos!
Great video - really insightful and helpful.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
great idea.. walking up stairs too going to try it. now that intermitant fasting is a habit.
I just found your videos and I love them, thank you so much for the great tips. I do have a question, what time of the day do you eat your one meal? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your kind comments! I eat my meal around 6 or 6:30. I don't freak out if it needs to be earlier or later than that if our schedule dictates it. (:
Thank you for your reply.
Are you still doing all this and your intermittent fasting plan as of 6/15/21? Because I think it's great!
My current plan is walk 6 miles 6 days a week (I take Sundays off both from fasting and from a step goal). I do OMAD most days most weeks, though there are some days I do 2MAD. My weight goal is simply to maintain in the 140s. If for any reason my weight creeps to 150 or above, I go back to my old reliable plan of OMAD 6 days a week, and keep my walking goals the same.
6 Miles a day ... great accomplishment!
Thanks!
I have a wireless headset that connects to my computer and I can make phone calls from there, listen to podcast or RUclips videos and whatever else and I have 1000 square-foot apartment and I can easily get 12 to 14,000 steps daily!
That's awesome. I've got some wireless headphones that I really enjoy. Thanks for commenting! So many people mistakenly think you need tons of square footage to do this.
Six Miles To Supper you can march in place! There’s plenty of 6 mile indoor walks on some RUclips channels if your imagination isn’t good enough ha ha
Ha! I never knew that.
Thank you for your video! I live in an apartment building with 32 floors. If I can't walk outside, then I sometimes walk up and down the stairs. I also have a part-time job early in the morning that I walk to when the weather is good.
Thanks for watching! Stairs add in quite a challenge! Good for you!
Walk the way of saint James. 800k or 500miles took us 33 days. I was 67
This is on my bucket list!!!! 👍
I'm so happy I found your video!! I house walk too and I thought I was insane lmao
LOL! Yeah, I totally thought I was the only weirdo doing it!
That's a huge achievement 6 miles!
It seemed like a lot when I first started doing it for sure!
Wow excellent info!!!
Can never Outrun your fork, lol thank for ur video, you look great!
That's still one of my mantras. (: Thanks for the compliment! I feel great!
The best line EVER!
I listen to music on you tube while I walk. It helps to motivate me
Great tip!
Once i walked 55 minutes (medium pace) while talking on the phone with my girl. And I didn't even realize that I walked so much without getting much tired. My intention was not exercise, it was late night and i wasn't getting a taxi. I guess we don't feel much tired when our (genuine) focus is not on the exercise when we are exercising
Thank you. I am inspired!
Awesome!
Thanks for posting this!
Glad you enjoyed it. (:
If it is bad weather how many miles on a stationary bike equals 6 miles walking? I know...a ton of feathers is the same of a ton of rocks, but the volume is different.
I did to start with walking because I had surgery . I needed to do something easier.
How do you do? Walk down the corridor back and forth?? I don't understand how you can walk and watch a movie?? Unless you have a treadmill
Walking, mini trampoline, hoola hoop and jumping rope. Fun and easy ways I stay fit.
Thank you so much kayla for sharing your experience.how many steps are required to perform six miles a day?
14,000 steps for me.
@@SixMilesToSupper thank you kayla
Kayla, if u cheat on Sunday, which I consider carbs, what do you eat during the week?
I do the same system on a 1990s style stair climber that my family stored in my garage for years (the one with shocks). I tried weights but I cant get Into a routine with weights. I like the simplicity of getting on a machine and getting it done. Podcasts are awesome. But 80s motivation music is is the best : "your the best" from Karate kid soundtrack. we have the same routine accept I use antique stair climber.
Thanks love your videos! I am new to IF, just started with a 12 hour fast this week and you have inspired me to try this walking 6 miles a day, appreciate your time in sharing your experience and advice.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Dana! Let me know how it goes for you! I've found it is almost impossible to be in a bad mood after I walk 6 miles.
