I’m disabled just watching out of curiosity and was NOT ready for the section where you not only mentioned wheelchair users but also included us in the challenge. It was really encouraging and just a lovely addition to the video. Not to be dramatic but this stuff makes a world of difference for me 💜
I really appreciated that part! I'm not disabled but have just started my wellness journey and keep looking for encouraging content and saw this video. I love the encouragement and recognition she brings! 💚🥰 I can only imagine what it feels to be included in this challenge!
@@tebhernandez what does your workday look like? Have kids? Sick parents to care for? For some ppl carving out time to *intentionally* care for themselves is their greatest challenge. If you don't know what other ppl deal with you don't get to make blanket statements.
I have 7 children and run a very busy household. I drop the kids off to there various schools and leave my car at my sons Preschool. I walk for 30 minutes then drive home again. I haven’t the time for the gym or classes and I have found just a 30 minute fast walk every morning has really helped my weight and is great for my mental health. Walking is free !!!! And I love it. ❤
Love this. I too have been doing about 40 min walks on my lunch break i get 1 hr so i have time to eat and get outside. I started this back at the end of jan. I was at 198lbs and now its may and im down to 170 just by walking and changing a bit of my diet. I started this for my mental health and also because my coworkers seem to only gossip during lunch. Peace of mind and body. I wish everyone success on the health journeys
I have been walking 3 miles every morning the last few months and I have lost so many inches off my body. It's easy and sustainable for me. I'd love to squeeze in 2 hours a day of walking eventually. It clears the mind, the skin, the body. It's wonderful.
Instead of looking at walking like a workout or chore, I like to see it as a way to relax and de-stress. It improves my mental health and helps me cope/ manage stress A LOT better. Being outside is also a boost to my mood. When it’s cold (I’m in Canada lol), I break the 30 minutes into 2-3 shorter walks throughout the day
So much yes!! I’ve genuinely been changing it from “my walk workout” to “my walk” because it’s just like any other task you’d do in the day to get by! Definitely changing it to “I get to” instead of “have to” is a powerful mindset also!
Another great video! Can I just say how much I love that you incorporated an exercise for those not able to take walks? That was an incredibly thoughtful addition!
Yes! I love that she did that too. I have a cousin who has a disability and uses a wheelchair, and one of her complaints over the years has been that people never share exercises for people who aren’t able-bodied
Right? I hate working out with a passion. I’m 54 and menopausal and my joints just can’t take Hiit anymore. I do weights at the gym which is fine, but cardio is all about the walk. My mental health is so much better now
Thanks for being inclusive of bodies with different abilities. I always take a 20 min walk during my lunch break and it's so mentally and physically refreshing. I am now feeling inspired to walk after work too. I could use an energy burst!
I just came across your channel. It's so nice to see a RUclipsr that actually has a job and a job that's 12 hour shifts. I feel like most fitness people on here only just do RUclips and act like we have all this time in the day to workout. Thanks! It's definitely refreshing to see someone that has a "normal" life trying to fit in a workout like the rest of us. 👏🏽
The inclusivity you brought to this video opened my mind. Most people would click on this video just to see the benefits of walking everyday, but you brought awareness to people who don’t have that option. Hats off to you ☺️
I’m currently doing this challenge. It’s been 10 days and I wake up looking forward to it. Who would have thought.. it’s just walking, but it’s been so positive to my life. I’ve also found there are time where I’m walking and I just have random urges to run. I feel like my body really really needed this!!
My brother was paralyzed from a sky diving accident and he passed away last year. I’m not sure why your video came up on my feed but I’m really glad it did. The fact that you thought to include people who can’t walk was incredible and definitely made me think of him. I go for walks to not only exercise because I am so fortunate to be able to do it but also to feel closer to my brother ❤
Walking for 30 minutes in the sunshine every day is my reward for working out first. I don't think of it as my exercise. I love the sun, trees, birds, friendly neighbors waving. It's glorious. I miss it when the weather's too bad to go. In the summer, I sometimes get one in the morning and another later. I'm 53, and I'm so grateful I GET to exercise. I loved your seated workout and reminder that there are so many people who wish they could just take a simple walk in the sun every day. I am truly blessed and grateful.
I’m a year late but I’m doing a 10k steps a day challenge and what you’ve said about the improvement to your mood is spot on. My anxiety is better, I’m so much more engergised, honestly, I literally will now do anything to get steps in. It takes a whole lot longer than 30 minutes, but I saw somewhere that if you do 10K steps per day, it’s as good for toning and weight loss as 1 hour in the gym which i hate so I’m fully embracing this walking lark.
Bless you, for thinking about others. I have MS so trying to take a walk on a weekly basis and 5 mins of cardio (all I can do) is a struggle but this is motivating.
I've been incorporating 30 minute walks at work during my lunch time. Mentally, it does WONDERS for me and it's so easy to incorporate in my day. It just feels so good and anytime I don't get to walk, I'm not as happy lol
I was someone who ate lunch at my desk when I worked in an office. When I started working from home a few years before the pandemic, I started making a point of actually taking a break, either a walk or even just eating my lunch on the patio. HUGE mental health benefit!
As someone who also works in healthcare, this just called me out because I’m very quick to make the excuse that I’m tired or just got off a 12hr shift haha. Thank you for posting this! Super realistic!
I'm a nurse. Thank you for doing this challenge and inspiring me to move around after a 12hr shift. I'm going to take this as a sign... because I've been thinking about walking due to a shoulder injury.
The inclusion in this video nearly had me in tears with gratitude! Well done. I’m on day 22 of walking a mile a day for 100 days and love videos like this to keep me pumped. I watch while I walk!
Thank you for pointing out that just "going for a walk" is not something that is easy for everyone. My 18yo has autism and intellectual delays. He needs exercise, but we can't just send him out for a walk on his own. My husband has joined our rec center with him and they work out together. It has been so good for both of them. Anyway...you have motivates me to get myself out there. ❤️
I love how inclusive you are. Including a workout for people who may be suffering from a disability and ALSO acknowledging there are days you should rest for your body/mental health and not pushing toxic workout standards is so refreshing and I am so glad this video was suggested on my feed ❤
I cannot say how grateful I am that you mentioned people who may not be capable of walking for 30 mins a day and that you offered suggestions (and tried it!) for ways to still get exercise in. I have struggled with POTS, getting winded and light headed while exercising, not being able to stand for long periods of time, and that has contributed to a major decline in my health, which then turns into a decline in working out further declining my health. It’s a vicious cycle that I’m trying to get out of, but working out has been so daunting for the last few years. You just put a new spin on how I can actually accomplish getting healthier and more active. Thank you for considering people of all capabilities and how to apply this to each individual’s life and situation.
I’ve been like a couch potato for the last few months. With work, making content and a family to take care of, I decided to do the 10k steps a day for 30 day challenge. It’s day 7 today and I feel so amazing, I also joined the gym on day 4 and been going there ever since. The energy, the mood, the confidence are all unmatched. Thank you for this video 😊
Thank you for this. ThNk you for the inclusivity. I got into a bad car accident and I can't tell you how envious I am of people who just exercise freely without limitations. You are what the internet needs. You are a beam of light. Thank you for being an advocate for people who see movement differently. ♥️
THANK YOU! My brother died from cancer right as we were all going into lockdown in 2020. Between grief and the pandemic, exercising was more than I could deal with mentally. I had zero ambition/motivation and to give you some perspective, I worked out 5 days a week prior to this with cardio, Pilates and strength training. So it is so different for me not to exercise. I’m slowly getting back in to it. To compound it all, I have autoimmune arthritis in my feet, right hip and hand. The hip pain makes it difficult to walk for more than a mile or so but I’ve been trying to stick with it. Hearing how you have lost so much around your waist and thighs is such a huge motivator!! Thank you, you really have helped give me a push to try it for a month EVERY day, not just a few days a week, to really get myself back on track. 💙💙💙
I've been disabled since I was a little kid and I can be hard on myself sometimes about not being able to do physical exercise, and I really appreciate the section on alternative workouts ❤ It's really nice to see positive disability representation in a workout space.
Thanks for the tip on Ella: I care for a 34 year old son who was handicapped from an aneurysm. He has no volitional mobility. We do range 4x a day and have him stand daily and put his feet on a power plate but we are always looking for ways to move his body. He was formerly an athlete than never stopped moving! Love the results of your challenge. Our challenge is taking care of our bodies so we can continue to care for him. It's not easy to even find 30 min. a day to walk during our 18 hours of care.
As someone who is in school for OT, watching you incorporate a workout centered around the disabled community was amazing. It warmed my heart and its SO important to always consider how we can get that community not only moving but involved in fun activities they enjoy.
Just want to add to all these comments, thank you for mentioning differently abled people. With arthritis, I often have to use a cane and knee straps, but the more you walk, the more strength you build up. It's taken me a year to build up to being able to walk 5 miles regularly and 10 miles, or even more, once a week. A year ago I was taking 6 to 8 ibuprofen a day, now it's zero. Not worrying about your speed is key!
I to have arthritis,having had a few operations to help this I still have it but I walk every day or six days a week this has helped maybe because of my weight loss.
As a disabled person with mobility issues, THANK YOU. Your words made me want to cry. I try so hard to be active and maintain fitness and wellbeing, but I don't know how to reach these goals as the world is tailored for non-disabled people and I often feel forgotten about. Love you for this 💓
I generally don’t comment on RUclips videos, but there’s so much positive energy emanating from this kind, warm woman, I feel like telling her that she is surreal.
thank you for including those of us who're disabled. some may laugh, but i walk in my apartment every day for 1/2 to 1 hour. i'm not stable enough to go out too much, so this has really worked well for me. while i'm walking, i can do some good thinking, listen to audible, watch youtube, whatever. i'm so thankful that i can still get some exercise. i'll be looking out for more of your videos, as well as checking out the woman that you mentioned. thanks for such a great video!
I don’t laugh. I have a thick yoga mat that I walk/March in place while I watch RUclips music videos. 30-40 minutes. I live in Florida so I need to be in the air conditioner and I hate gyms. Lol.
I remember very well my grandmother walking in her house. She had this little path she would follow, and she would walk and pray...when I was little I would walk behind her. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience! I just started doing a daily 30 minute walk this week and it’s amazing how much more energy I have. My mood and sleep quality have improved too. I started doing it for weight loss, but the other benefits are amazing. I have an auto immune disease and fatigue is a real thing, plus the constant brain fog because of all my medication’s/chemo. I’m definitely sticking with this! Also I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the work you do in physical therapy. I had brain cancer eight years ago and had to undergo a massive craniotomy, followed by chemo and radiation. I couldn’t walk for a while, and I will never forget the physical therapists who came in and took me on my first walk out of the hospital bed with the belt around my waist. They were so encouraging and made me want to try harder and I did it on the first try. You’re doing good work. God bless you!
As another healthcare worker, this was really inspiring to hear that you walked after a 12! I loved that you included the info on wheelchair/seated workouts because I will definitely use that as a pump up on lazy days. Thank you so much 😊
I seriously needed this boost, as a PT, I have been slowly getting burnt out with the state of our medical system and appreciate your perspective and solidarity as another hospital worker! ❤
It is incredibly refreshing for someone doing a fitness/health challenge to actually include disabled people in the conversation and add in an alternative exercise.
How lovely of you to recognize people with altered-abilities! Later in my life I experienced significant spasticity on my legs due to adrenoleukodystrophy and walking 8k now feels like when I used to walk 15k. It’s all about what works for you. So nice of you to appreciate diversity in workouts 😊
I LOVE how you are being inclusive of all humans!!! I came here thinking it would be same old video but you pulled me in when you stopped to remind anyone watching how it is not possible for everyone!!!
OMG! How amazing is this girl! I came for some walking motivation but subscribed within minutes! Heart of gold and I wish so many more people had her soul. Chronic illness suffer here and weight gain is very common when you can’t do what you use to anymore. I’m not in a wheelchair but this was so inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing and for your understanding to other struggles we can all have.
I just started my walking journey 3 days ago and came across your video. I’m physically able to do so many things, and since I started this journey I’m finding so many things I’m grateful for and I realize not many have the ability to be physically active. I’m really glad you included and did a workout for those who have a disability. You’re so sweet and inspiring for that! God bless you, you gained a new subscriber 🩷
I started walking a minimum of 3 miles per day since 06/15. Walking is so amazing and helps me de-stress. I’ve also lost 24lbs solely on walking + healthy eating.
@@Rain_bow_song - i do a minimum of 45min to 1 hour of walking a day sometime a bit longer depending how I’m feeling. And I actually just started adding in some interval training like (jog, walk, jog etc) plus some weights here and there (nothing crazy like 5-10lbs dumbells) ir even do a hike on the treadmill…it’s good to mix it up especially on the days When you just “don’t feel like it” ...the key is just to stay consistent! Best of luck on your journey 😊
I started walking daily on my treadmill (or outside if it isn't sweltering lol) to lose weight, but I suffer from pcos so it's a little bit difficult. However, even though the scale is going down verrrrrrrrry slowly, just getting in that 20 mins of walking makes me feel so much better. It's the weirdest thing. It's almost like I can breathe better, I can move better and even sometimes sleep better. I am so so so so grateful for my body. I also just want to say I love that you added in the segment for others who may not be able to move much or walk. That was really thoughtful of you!
I just randomly clicked this video while cleaning & I am officially a new subscriber. You have such a genuine energy about you & you can tell that your work is important to you. Someone close to me is in rehabilitation from an accident and almost every physical therapist I’ve met working with them shares this super intuitive, empathetic energy. It’s such great work and it’s great to see a field that experiences a lot of heartache be filled with positive and caring people such as yourself !
I'm a big fan of walking. I use the treadmill at the YMCA and set it to 2.1 mph. Slow, but I'm elderly - ha. Have dropped weight, but how I feel after I'm done is the bonus. Good luck to anyone starting a health plan.
I’m not disabled, but my mom has had mobility issues most of my life. I was already really enjoying this video and feeling inspired to walk (once my damned sprained ankle heals!) but when I got to the portion where you spoke on the privilege of being able bodied I could have cried - it’s not often enough you see someone speak on that. And then on top of that you included a workout that was inclusive of people who can’t do the daily walks! That was so amazing and I just want to thank you for doing it, and for reminding me to always be conscious of thinking of people who move through the world differently than I do.
Durring quarintine I adopted a dog and started walking regularly. We walk around 2 miles a day in total, but at one point it was double that! I just pop on a podcast, audio book or music and enjoy some quality time with my doggo :) The main thing I noticed was my mental health and general endurance improved so much!
That was a very beautiful thing you did by including people who don’t have the ability to walk. Never seen someone do shout out like that. Amazing job!!!
I grew up in Switzerland and this is wild to me. I walk 60 minutes everyday just to get to work or uni and back + 1-2 hours in total with my dog (depends on the weather). I've never viewed walking as a privilege or a workout, so thank you for this perspective!
Ahh, I’m in the midst of a Crohn’s disease flare up and I haven’t walked more than a few meters in about a month. Thank you so much for acknowledging those with illness in this video. That part really got me emotional and it’s so appreciated from so many people. I can’t wait till I’m a bit better to try this! New sub :)
I wasn't expecting that you mentioned workouts for people who are in a wheelchair, I have a sister that suffered a cerebral accident and I saw her the other day searching out for some workouts to do at home but they were all for people who is not disabled. Thank you so much for what you said and the channel recommendation, I'll be definitely trying those workouts with her🥰💞
I can't handle every day but you've motivated me to walk for 20 or 30 mins 3 x a week now :) I'm gonna try it! I'm disabled but definitely not taking care of myself enough.
Love this video!! I am a girl on wheels and I'm totally into fitness. I love Pilates and lifting weights. I can move my legs a little bit, so for cardio I like to cycling on the Ergometer and on step on the step machine. I also recently started the 12-3 - 30 challenge on my own terms. I can walk a little bit but only with assistance and for longer distances I need a wheelchair, because my legs are too weak. I have a spastic in diplegia which was discovered when I was 1,5 years old. Thank you so much for talking about people with disabilities and thank you so much for introducing Ella to us, she's really awesome 😍💪
It’s day 14 of resetting my sleep schedule and walking an hour a day and I can agree that it makes you feel amazing!! Even if I’m tired today, I still walked and it made me feel so much better.
I just want to say thank you so much for including a section for people who may not be physically able to walk daily. I work as an occupational therapist in a cancer hospital so I am so happy to see resources out there for people who need adaptations in their workout. I’m definitely going to try this challenge because I could use a boost this November!
Walking is great! Recently I learned to appreciate it way more than I ever did before. I used to be very lazy not working out at all. Then during the pandemic I got motivated and started working out 6 days a week. Unfortunately I was doing things incorrectly and caused herniated discs in my upper and lower spine... It started with mild pain which I totally ignored and just kept going. Then it turned into a world of pain. There was a point where I wasn't able to get up and walk normally. Let me tell you... no matter how lazy or unmotivated you feel to work out and move, when you're faced with being unable to do the most basic thing as walking it hits you hard. For me, it added crippling depression on top of the excruciating pain. As cheesy as it sounds, I realized how precious it is to be able to walk. Now I'm better and able to walk normally again. I still feel some level of pain but I guess that's how it's going to be from now on. I never thought I'd say this, but I also miss working out. But gotta take it easy.
I’m a nurse and work 12 hr shifts. So this is inspiring to challenge myself and not be lazy. Health is wealth! Thank you for what you do too! We need our PTs! 🙏🏽❤️
I love that you found a way of making the challenge more inclusive!!! It made the video so much more interesting! And I'm up to go out for a walk now!!
You totally motivated me, thank you!! I am currently pregnant, so my workouts are limited. I was doing a 2-3 mile walk almost everyday and just kinda got out of that habit. Now I’m motivated to do it again, and I’m sure my dog will appreciate it lol.
I’m starting my daily walking soon and ordered a treadmill and this video really has pushed me to really lock in with this! I’m so excited to start, and it’s like you mentioned how 30 minutes a day is such a small amount of time. It can absolutely get done! Thank you for the motivation
I have a chronic illness that might at some point severely impact my mobility so including a workout for people with limited mobility was really meaningful, thank you.
Thank you for the wheelchair section!! I have chronic pain and sometimes walking is just not possible. (At the gym I will row or bike... I'm able to do seated workouts) But the days when getting out is too much... This is incredible and thoughtful. You are dang adorable! 🌻
Loved this & needed this💙 I’m 60 & trying to get motivated after this darn pandemic 😷 Thank you so much for a video that makes it sound doable💙 I’m up for the challenge!!!
I just found this video as I am contemplating my goals for the new year. I have decided to complete a 30 day walking challenge beginning on January 1st after seeing how you felt at the end of your challenge. Thanks for sharing and motivating!
This is awesome. I have tennis elbow and my shoulders hurt. I clicked on this video for something easy to try. And the chair workout is a bonus. ❤. Thanks
I just started doing this and I’ve been combining a few of your past challenges and I’m also been eating more vegatarian meals . I find you so inspiring. So thank you for all your honest videos and health challenges . I have rewatched a few of your videos a few times . I also walk fir two blocks four days a a weeks for a few months now but I know that not enough abs I should walk outside of work too . And it’s true . Excercise and eating healthy and getting really good rest really helps . I know I feel the best and most stable I ever been . So thank you inspiring me and being inspiring to everyone else .
I am having goosebumps. I have cerebral palsy and limited mobility. But I have been slowly walking, or trying to. And just in a week, the difference in functionality and gaining more energy and muscle strength in my weaker side. Love this so much ❤️ 💗 💖
Wow I am welling up at this video. I have pretty intense depression and had a family member in a wheelchair and I did not expect you to be inclusive of so many communities on here. Amazing video. Totally subscribing and going to binge your other videos now!!
This has convinced me to get back into walking. Before the lockdown, I'd always park further away from work so I could walk. But then I got moved to remote and I've always missed going on those walks. We do small walks after work with our dog, but I think I'll try to walk more before work again
So happy you posted this because I’m going to do this challenge. Tomorrow is my first day of not drinking for a month. I’m also a smoker and am hoping this will help me quit because I’ll only want to feel better and better. So, thank you for posting this at the absolutely perfect time…it has made me even more excited to start my personal journey to better health😊
As someone who was non weight bearing for 4 months because of a tibial plateau fracture--seated dancing in my room to my favorite songs was a lifesaver. I’ve never been more embarrassed of myself lol but I was desperate for any movement at all. It was sooooo helpful for my mental health during recovery!!
Just stumbled on your video, and can I just say how cool and thoughtful you are? Loved this video as a whole and especially loved the disabled-body inclusivity portion. Definitely had to subscribe after that. Keep up the amazing work ☺️
This is my first video of yours i saw it pop up on my recommendations and instantly subscribed !! i love how thoughtful you are in including a work out for those who cannot due to limitations! keep up the great videos💖
This video was definitely inspiring. I really never thought about doing exercises sitting down even if you are able bodied. I think I often times get in such a mental rut about having to leave my couch or house. But it just goes to show even just a 30 minute work out is totally doable.
Gotta love being able to recognise a book you’re reading, I’ve been adding walking into my routine (30-60 minutes) and I always have so much more energy and motivation afterwards
Thank you for this video .. your “nudge” is what I need.. I am in my 50’s and I’m too sedentary .. overweight and take a few meds due to the obesity. I have a diagnosis is Panic Disorder (since I was 27) and sometimes exercise , including walking, sends my anxiety into a frenzy ….. your videos are very uplifting …. I may have to put this challenge in my calendar for September …..
I think it’s great to move in whatever way feels best! Even if it’s 5 or 10 min it’s still valid. Even sitting workouts while watching tv is something! Be kind to yourself :)
I really really appreciate you considering the disabled community. I walk with a cane and walking is very hard for me, but I find that I can cycle quite well so I do that instead. When you discussed that, it was an instant subscribe for me
Thank you for adding that disabled person channel and disabled workouts, I often feel Lake disabled workouts often get over overlooked even though manual trigger users almost wrong with people that I know, speaking as a disabled person myself 😇
I am a CNA in a hospital and just want you to know I appreciate you and others in your field of work I work alongside PT and OT and I just think you guys are wonderful and I can’t tell you enough how much I do appreciate you thank you so much and I love your videos you’re very encouraging keep up the good work
Once my family got a dog, I walked everyday to every other day. It's weird thinking back, but Oliver (our dog) really helped me. I love walking him and just watching him run around the field. He is such a little goof ball.... but he will guilt trip you into walking.
This was such a great video and I especially loved how you talked about people who aren’t able to walk for various reasons and chose to do something just for them. How sweet and encouraging that was. Definitely making me want to do a 30min/30day walking challenge! And I just might. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Thankyou for talking about people with disabilities. I found this video looking for inspiration today for information about walking. My mother was in a nursing home in a wheelchair and I used to do exercises to help her. I was thinking about this while walking today. Thankyou for providing this information. Xx
I will say every time in my life that I spent a good portion of the day walking - as a college student with no car; during lockdown to keep my body and mind occupied - I looked and felt my best. I need to get back into it. I stopped for a while due to iron-deficiency anemia sapping my energy, but now that I’m being treated for that I could stand to move around some more.
Aawww its so nice of you to think for the one who cant do this walking challenge. God bless you more for your dedication in your work. Your work needs alot of patience. My nephew too is a nurse i can see how tired but fulfilling his work is..

I’m disabled just watching out of curiosity and was NOT ready for the section where you not only mentioned wheelchair users but also included us in the challenge. It was really encouraging and just a lovely addition to the video. Not to be dramatic but this stuff makes a world of difference for me 💜
It needs to be recognized more!! Thanks for watching, Kimberly!
I really appreciated that part! I'm not disabled but have just started my wellness journey and keep looking for encouraging content and saw this video. I love the encouragement and recognition she brings! 💚🥰 I can only imagine what it feels to be included in this challenge!
I loved that part too!! I'm glad to hear it made a difference to you. I felt how inclusive it was and loved Kayla for it!
Best comment ever
Love this!!!
The fact that you work 12 hour shifts while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle is just really inspiring. If you have time, then I definitely do
Its just walking 30 mins lol
@vaseives no it's not
@@tebhernandez what does your workday look like? Have kids? Sick parents to care for? For some ppl carving out time to *intentionally* care for themselves is their greatest challenge. If you don't know what other ppl deal with you don't get to make blanket statements.
@@Swameh everyone on the planet can walk for 30 mins a day. If you can't make 30 mm ins for your health you're lying
@@tebhernandez yes. It is.
I have 7 children and run a very busy household. I drop the kids off to there various schools and leave my car at my sons Preschool. I walk for 30 minutes then drive home again. I haven’t the time for the gym or classes and I have found just a 30 minute fast walk every morning has really helped my weight and is great for my mental health. Walking is free !!!! And I love it. ❤
Love this. I too have been doing about 40 min walks on my lunch break i get 1 hr so i have time to eat and get outside. I started this back at the end of jan. I was at 198lbs and now its may and im down to 170 just by walking and changing a bit of my diet. I started this for my mental health and also because my coworkers seem to only gossip during lunch. Peace of mind and body. I wish everyone success on the health journeys
inspiring comment!! im gonna start doing this too actually can't wait to go back to the office to do this haha :)
Thank you for the inspiration ❤
Yes ❤
Hope your still.gping strong! I also started my health journey! would love an update ❤
Love this! I hope you are still going.
I have been walking 3 miles every morning the last few months and I have lost so many inches off my body. It's easy and sustainable for me. I'd love to squeeze in 2 hours a day of walking eventually. It clears the mind, the skin, the body. It's wonderful.
Instead of looking at walking like a workout or chore, I like to see it as a way to relax and de-stress. It improves my mental health and helps me cope/ manage stress A LOT better. Being outside is also a boost to my mood. When it’s cold (I’m in Canada lol), I break the 30 minutes into 2-3 shorter walks throughout the day
Yes-totally improves my mental health. Now, at the end of the day I say " I GET to walk now" instead of "I HAVE to walk now to lose weight".
So much yes!! I’ve genuinely been changing it from “my walk workout” to “my walk” because it’s just like any other task you’d do in the day to get by! Definitely changing it to “I get to” instead of “have to” is a powerful mindset also!
It’s not in Bangkok 😂 Walking here gives me bloody stress lol!
@@Brimfulofbeauty Lol totally understandable
Yes, totally agree. I feel like walking is a meditation for me. I love it. I walk 10km per day circa 5 days a week. I just made it more fun
Another great video! Can I just say how much I love that you incorporated an exercise for those not able to take walks? That was an incredibly thoughtful addition!
Yes! I love that she did that too. I have a cousin who has a disability and uses a wheelchair, and one of her complaints over the years has been that people never share exercises for people who aren’t able-bodied
Thank you so much for saying that, Ashley!! The fitness industry would definitely be better off with more inclusivity 💛
Way to get my brain going! Such a good balanced video.
It was so thoughtful and inclusive.
I got tired of HIIT workouts so I just started taking my dog for longer walks around the neighborhood and it’s been a game changer to my health!
That makes me so happy for you and you dog!
Right? I hate working out with a passion. I’m 54 and menopausal and my joints just can’t take Hiit anymore. I do weights at the gym which is fine, but cardio is all about the walk. My mental health is so much better now
Thanks for being inclusive of bodies with different abilities. I always take a 20 min walk during my lunch break and it's so mentally and physically refreshing. I am now feeling inspired to walk after work too. I could use an energy burst!
It's insane what a walk can do for you mentally!!
Yes!!!! I agree
Agreed!!
I just came across your channel. It's so nice to see a RUclipsr that actually has a job and a job that's 12 hour shifts. I feel like most fitness people on here only just do RUclips and act like we have all this time in the day to workout. Thanks! It's definitely refreshing to see someone that has a "normal" life trying to fit in a workout like the rest of us. 👏🏽
The inclusivity you brought to this video opened my mind. Most people would click on this video just to see the benefits of walking everyday, but you brought awareness to people who don’t have that option. Hats off to you ☺️
I’m currently doing this challenge. It’s been 10 days and I wake up looking forward to it. Who would have thought.. it’s just walking, but it’s been so positive to my life. I’ve also found there are time where I’m walking and I just have random urges to run. I feel like my body really really needed this!!
omg me too!?! i’m just get a spurt of random energy?
So how is it going? Still walking? Any weight loss? Thxs
My brother was paralyzed from a sky diving accident and he passed away last year. I’m not sure why your video came up on my feed but I’m really glad it did. The fact that you thought to include people who can’t walk was incredible and definitely made me think of him. I go for walks to not only exercise because I am so fortunate to be able to do it but also to feel closer to my brother ❤
Walking for 30 minutes in the sunshine every day is my reward for working out first. I don't think of it as my exercise. I love the sun, trees, birds, friendly neighbors waving. It's glorious. I miss it when the weather's too bad to go. In the summer, I sometimes get one in the morning and another later. I'm 53, and I'm so grateful I GET to exercise. I loved your seated workout and reminder that there are so many people who wish they could just take a simple walk in the sun every day. I am truly blessed and grateful.
I’m a year late but I’m doing a 10k steps a day challenge and what you’ve said about the improvement to your mood is spot on. My anxiety is better, I’m so much more engergised, honestly, I literally will now do anything to get steps in. It takes a whole lot longer than 30 minutes, but I saw somewhere that if you do 10K steps per day, it’s as good for toning and weight loss as 1 hour in the gym which i hate so I’m fully embracing this walking lark.
Bless you, for thinking about others. I have MS so trying to take a walk on a weekly basis and 5 mins of cardio (all I can do) is a struggle but this is motivating.
Rooting for you!! But also remember to be kind to yourself!
I've been incorporating 30 minute walks at work during my lunch time. Mentally, it does WONDERS for me and it's so easy to incorporate in my day. It just feels so good and anytime I don't get to walk, I'm not as happy lol
This!!! The days I don’t walk I feel so weird. I’ve been continuing my walks after this video and I’m really trying to keep it as a habit
Hmmm that’s a good idea I could totally do a walk on my lunch break
I was someone who ate lunch at my desk when I worked in an office. When I started working from home a few years before the pandemic, I started making a point of actually taking a break, either a walk or even just eating my lunch on the patio. HUGE mental health benefit!
As someone who also works in healthcare, this just called me out because I’m very quick to make the excuse that I’m tired or just got off a 12hr shift haha. Thank you for posting this! Super realistic!
I'm a nurse. Thank you for doing this challenge and inspiring me to move around after a 12hr shift. I'm going to take this as a sign... because I've been thinking about walking due to a shoulder injury.
The inclusion in this video nearly had me in tears with gratitude! Well done.
I’m on day 22 of walking a mile a day for 100 days and love videos like this to keep me pumped. I watch while I walk!
Thank you for pointing out that just "going for a walk" is not something that is easy for everyone. My 18yo has autism and intellectual delays. He needs exercise, but we can't just send him out for a walk on his own. My husband has joined our rec center with him and they work out together. It has been so good for both of them. Anyway...you have motivates me to get myself out there. ❤️
I love how inclusive you are. Including a workout for people who may be suffering from a disability and ALSO acknowledging there are days you should rest for your body/mental health and not pushing toxic workout standards is so refreshing and I am so glad this video was suggested on my feed ❤
I cannot say how grateful I am that you mentioned people who may not be capable of walking for 30 mins a day and that you offered suggestions (and tried it!) for ways to still get exercise in. I have struggled with POTS, getting winded and light headed while exercising, not being able to stand for long periods of time, and that has contributed to a major decline in my health, which then turns into a decline in working out further declining my health. It’s a vicious cycle that I’m trying to get out of, but working out has been so daunting for the last few years. You just put a new spin on how I can actually accomplish getting healthier and more active. Thank you for considering people of all capabilities and how to apply this to each individual’s life and situation.
I’ve been like a couch potato for the last few months. With work, making content and a family to take care of, I decided to do the 10k steps a day for 30 day challenge. It’s day 7 today and I feel so amazing, I also joined the gym on day 4 and been going there ever since. The energy, the mood, the confidence are all unmatched. Thank you for this video 😊
Thank you for this. ThNk you for the inclusivity. I got into a bad car accident and I can't tell you how envious I am of people who just exercise freely without limitations. You are what the internet needs. You are a beam of light. Thank you for being an advocate for people who see movement differently. ♥️
THANK YOU! My brother died from cancer right as we were all going into lockdown in 2020. Between grief and the pandemic, exercising was more than I could deal with mentally. I had zero ambition/motivation and to give you some perspective, I worked out 5 days a week prior to this with cardio, Pilates and strength training. So it is so different for me not to exercise. I’m slowly getting back in to it. To compound it all, I have autoimmune arthritis in my feet, right hip and hand. The hip pain makes it difficult to walk for more than a mile or so but I’ve been trying to stick with it. Hearing how you have lost so much around your waist and thighs is such a huge motivator!! Thank you, you really have helped give me a push to try it for a month EVERY day, not just a few days a week, to really get myself back on track. 💙💙💙
I’m really sorry to hear about your brother and prayers to you and your family
I've been disabled since I was a little kid and I can be hard on myself sometimes about not being able to do physical exercise, and I really appreciate the section on alternative workouts ❤ It's really nice to see positive disability representation in a workout space.
Thanks for the tip on Ella: I care for a 34 year old son who was handicapped from an aneurysm. He has no volitional mobility. We do range 4x a day and have him stand daily and put his feet on a power plate but we are always looking for ways to move his body. He was formerly an athlete than never stopped moving! Love the results of your challenge. Our challenge is taking care of our bodies so we can continue to care for him. It's not easy to even find 30 min. a day to walk during our 18 hours of care.
As someone who is in school for OT, watching you incorporate a workout centered around the disabled community was amazing. It warmed my heart and its SO important to always consider how we can get that community not only moving but involved in fun activities they enjoy.
Just want to add to all these comments, thank you for mentioning differently abled people. With arthritis, I often have to use a cane and knee straps, but the more you walk, the more strength you build up. It's taken me a year to build up to being able to walk 5 miles regularly and 10 miles, or even more, once a week. A year ago I was taking 6 to 8 ibuprofen a day, now it's zero. Not worrying about your speed is key!
I to have arthritis,having had a few operations to help this I still have it but I walk every day or six days a week this has helped maybe because of my weight loss.
As a disabled person with mobility issues, THANK YOU. Your words made me want to cry. I try so hard to be active and maintain fitness and wellbeing, but I don't know how to reach these goals as the world is tailored for non-disabled people and I often feel forgotten about. Love you for this 💓
I generally don’t comment on RUclips videos, but there’s so much positive energy emanating from this kind, warm woman, I feel like telling her that she is surreal.
You're the sweetest omg
thank you for including those of us who're disabled. some may laugh, but i walk in my apartment every day for 1/2 to 1 hour. i'm not stable enough to go out too much, so this has really worked well for me. while i'm walking, i can do some good thinking, listen to audible, watch youtube, whatever. i'm so thankful that i can still get some exercise. i'll be looking out for more of your videos, as well as checking out the woman that you mentioned. thanks for such a great video!
I don’t laugh. I have a thick yoga mat that I walk/March in place while I watch RUclips music videos. 30-40 minutes. I live in Florida so I need to be in the air conditioner and I hate gyms. Lol.
@@Mexicobeanpolegood for us for finding ways that work for us!
I remember very well my grandmother walking in her house. She had this little path she would follow, and she would walk and pray...when I was little I would walk behind her. :)
@@melaniev4390 that's a sweet memory.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I just started doing a daily 30 minute walk this week and it’s amazing how much more energy I have. My mood and sleep quality have improved too. I started doing it for weight loss, but the other benefits are amazing. I have an auto immune disease and fatigue is a real thing, plus the constant brain fog because of all my medication’s/chemo. I’m definitely sticking with this! Also I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the work you do in physical therapy. I had brain cancer eight years ago and had to undergo a massive craniotomy, followed by chemo and radiation. I couldn’t walk for a while, and I will never forget the physical therapists who came in and took me on my first walk out of the hospital bed with the belt around my waist. They were so encouraging and made me want to try harder and I did it on the first try. You’re doing good work. God bless you!
The inclusion in this video is just so beautiful! This is something you NEVER see in the mainstream online fitness space.
As another healthcare worker, this was really inspiring to hear that you walked after a 12! I loved that you included the info on wheelchair/seated workouts because I will definitely use that as a pump up on lazy days. Thank you so much 😊
I seriously needed this boost, as a PT, I have been slowly getting burnt out with the state of our medical system and appreciate your perspective and solidarity as another hospital worker! ❤
I completely understand. Fellow PT here. I am taking a 3 month break from PT to look for other opportunities to use my DPT.
It is incredibly refreshing for someone doing a fitness/health challenge to actually include disabled people in the conversation and add in an alternative exercise.
How lovely of you to recognize people with altered-abilities! Later in my life I experienced significant spasticity on my legs due to adrenoleukodystrophy and walking 8k now feels like when I used to walk 15k. It’s all about what works for you. So nice of you to appreciate diversity in workouts 😊
I LOVE how you are being inclusive of all humans!!! I came here thinking it would be same old video but you pulled me in when you stopped to remind anyone watching how it is not possible for everyone!!!
OMG! How amazing is this girl! I came for some walking motivation but subscribed within minutes! Heart of gold and I wish so many more people had her soul. Chronic illness suffer here and weight gain is very common when you can’t do what you use to anymore.
I’m not in a wheelchair but this was so inspiring for me. Thank you for sharing and for your understanding to other struggles we can all have.
I just started my walking journey 3 days ago and came across your video. I’m physically able to do so many things, and since I started this journey I’m finding so many things I’m grateful for and I realize not many have the ability to be physically active. I’m really glad you included and did a workout for those who have a disability. You’re so sweet and inspiring for that! God bless you, you gained a new subscriber 🩷
I started walking a minimum of 3 miles per day since 06/15. Walking is so amazing and helps me de-stress. I’ve also lost 24lbs solely on walking + healthy eating.
It took how many months to lose 24lbs??
@@Rain_bow_song - 06/15/22 to current …still walk 3-4 miles a day along with eating clean and staying active. I’ve lost 35lbs so far 😊
@@Rkg1205 don't mind how many hours you walk daily? I mean brisk walking???? Did you tried any hard exercis like cardio or weight training?
@@Rain_bow_song - i do a minimum of 45min to 1 hour of walking a day sometime a bit longer depending how I’m feeling. And I actually just started adding in some interval training like (jog, walk, jog etc) plus some weights here and there (nothing crazy like 5-10lbs dumbells) ir even do a hike on the treadmill…it’s good to mix it up especially on the days When you just “don’t feel like it” ...the key is just to stay consistent! Best of luck on your journey 😊
@@Rkg1205 thanks a lot , loved your replies! Wish you all the best for your journey too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Walks are the best! I've found that walking in nature and walking with no music/podcasts/etc have been game-changers!!
I started walking daily on my treadmill (or outside if it isn't sweltering lol) to lose weight, but I suffer from pcos so it's a little bit difficult. However, even though the scale is going down verrrrrrrrry slowly, just getting in that 20 mins of walking makes me feel so much better. It's the weirdest thing. It's almost like I can breathe better, I can move better and even sometimes sleep better. I am so so so so grateful for my body. I also just want to say I love that you added in the segment for others who may not be able to move much or walk. That was really thoughtful of you!
I just randomly clicked this video while cleaning & I am officially a new subscriber. You have such a genuine energy about you & you can tell that your work is important to you. Someone close to me is in rehabilitation from an accident and almost every physical therapist I’ve met working with them shares this super intuitive, empathetic energy. It’s such great work and it’s great to see a field that experiences a lot of heartache be filled with positive and caring people such as yourself !
I love how positive you are! You’ve gained a new follower :)
I'm a big fan of walking. I use the treadmill at the YMCA and set it to 2.1 mph. Slow, but I'm elderly - ha. Have dropped weight, but how I feel after I'm done is the bonus. Good luck to anyone starting a health plan.
Slow and steady! No reason to rush, right!?
I’m not disabled, but my mom has had mobility issues most of my life. I was already really enjoying this video and feeling inspired to walk (once my damned sprained ankle heals!) but when I got to the portion where you spoke on the privilege of being able bodied I could have cried - it’s not often enough you see someone speak on that. And then on top of that you included a workout that was inclusive of people who can’t do the daily walks! That was so amazing and I just want to thank you for doing it, and for reminding me to always be conscious of thinking of people who move through the world differently than I do.
Durring quarintine I adopted a dog and started walking regularly. We walk around 2 miles a day in total, but at one point it was double that! I just pop on a podcast, audio book or music and enjoy some quality time with my doggo :) The main thing I noticed was my mental health and general endurance improved so much!
That was a very beautiful thing you did by including people who don’t have the ability to walk. Never seen someone do shout out like that. Amazing job!!!
I LOVE that you took a day to do something other than walking to motivate wheelchair users/those who are unable to walk. You are a sweet soul
thank you for saying that! we definitely need more inclusivity and diversity in the workout world
LOVE LOVE LOVE the disability representation!! Any movement is good movement, and i’m overjoyed to see you incorporate this into your video.
I grew up in Switzerland and this is wild to me. I walk 60 minutes everyday just to get to work or uni and back + 1-2 hours in total with my dog (depends on the weather). I've never viewed walking as a privilege or a workout, so thank you for this perspective!
i'm from liechtenstein and i'm amazed, too... 30 minutes are only like 3000 steps or something. i easily do 15000 during a regular day
Walking is hands down the best exercise for steady, sustainable weight loss and long term fitness
Ahh, I’m in the midst of a Crohn’s disease flare up and I haven’t walked more than a few meters in about a month. Thank you so much for acknowledging those with illness in this video. That part really got me emotional and it’s so appreciated from so many people. I can’t wait till I’m a bit better to try this! New sub :)
I wasn't expecting that you mentioned workouts for people who are in a wheelchair, I have a sister that suffered a cerebral accident and I saw her the other day searching out for some workouts to do at home but they were all for people who is not disabled. Thank you so much for what you said and the channel recommendation, I'll be definitely trying those workouts with her🥰💞
I'm so glad to have found someone who also works 12 hours. This gives me great encouragement and a strategy to use as well
I can't handle every day but you've motivated me to walk for 20 or 30 mins 3 x a week now :) I'm gonna try it! I'm disabled but definitely not taking care of myself enough.
Workouts been boring for me. So I plan to walk 5 days a week with out workout
Love this video!! I am a girl on wheels and I'm totally into fitness. I love Pilates and lifting weights. I can move my legs a little bit, so for cardio I like to cycling on the Ergometer and on step on the step machine. I also recently started the 12-3 - 30 challenge on my own terms. I can walk a little bit but only with assistance and for longer distances I need a wheelchair, because my legs are too weak. I have a spastic in diplegia which was discovered when I was 1,5 years old. Thank you so much for talking about people with disabilities and thank you so much for introducing Ella to us, she's really awesome 😍💪
It’s day 14 of resetting my sleep schedule and walking an hour a day and I can agree that it makes you feel amazing!! Even if I’m tired today, I still walked and it made me feel so much better.
I just want to say thank you so much for including a section for people who may not be physically able to walk daily. I work as an occupational therapist in a cancer hospital so I am so happy to see resources out there for people who need adaptations in their workout. I’m definitely going to try this challenge because I could use a boost this November!
You got this, Amy!
Walking is great! Recently I learned to appreciate it way more than I ever did before. I used to be very lazy not working out at all. Then during the pandemic I got motivated and started working out 6 days a week. Unfortunately I was doing things incorrectly and caused herniated discs in my upper and lower spine... It started with mild pain which I totally ignored and just kept going. Then it turned into a world of pain. There was a point where I wasn't able to get up and walk normally. Let me tell you... no matter how lazy or unmotivated you feel to work out and move, when you're faced with being unable to do the most basic thing as walking it hits you hard. For me, it added crippling depression on top of the excruciating pain. As cheesy as it sounds, I realized how precious it is to be able to walk. Now I'm better and able to walk normally again. I still feel some level of pain but I guess that's how it's going to be from now on. I never thought I'd say this, but I also miss working out. But gotta take it easy.
Wow, Mari! That is so much to deal with! So sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you are doing better now! Cheering for you :)
@@kayla.nelson Thank you!!! And thank you for being so thoughtful and providing options for those who are unable to do normal workouts. 🙏👋
I’m a nurse and work 12 hr shifts. So this is inspiring to challenge myself and not be lazy. Health is wealth! Thank you for what you do too! We need our PTs! 🙏🏽❤️
I love that you found a way of making the challenge more inclusive!!! It made the video so much more interesting! And I'm up to go out for a walk now!!
You totally motivated me, thank you!! I am currently pregnant, so my workouts are limited. I was doing a 2-3 mile walk almost everyday and just kinda got out of that habit. Now I’m motivated to do it again, and I’m sure my dog will appreciate it lol.
You got this!! Even small walks are great, don’t push yourself for the mileage especially growing a little babe!
hey this is your reminder to keep walking and prioritizing yourself cuz you are amazing and deserve the best life quality
I’m starting my daily walking soon and ordered a treadmill and this video really has pushed me to really lock in with this! I’m so excited to start, and it’s like you mentioned how 30 minutes a day is such a small amount of time. It can absolutely get done! Thank you for the motivation
I have a chronic illness that might at some point severely impact my mobility so including a workout for people with limited mobility was really meaningful, thank you.
Thank you for the wheelchair section!!
I have chronic pain and sometimes walking is just not possible.
(At the gym I will row or bike... I'm able to do seated workouts)
But the days when getting out is too much... This is incredible and thoughtful.
You are dang adorable! 🌻
Loved this & needed this💙 I’m 60 & trying to get motivated after this darn pandemic 😷 Thank you so much for a video that makes it sound doable💙 I’m up for the challenge!!!
I just found this video as I am contemplating my goals for the new year. I have decided to complete a 30 day walking challenge beginning on January 1st after seeing how you felt at the end of your challenge. Thanks for sharing and motivating!
I'm glad you discussed how some can't use their legs, and how we can have a way to workout. I'm blessed with working legs but I like your video
I’m a DPT student and really appreciate the part where you talk about cardio for disabled people! it’s not talked about enough
This is awesome. I have tennis elbow and my shoulders hurt. I clicked on this video for something easy to try. And the chair workout is a bonus. ❤. Thanks
I just started doing this and I’ve been combining a few of your past challenges and I’m also been eating more vegatarian meals . I find you so inspiring. So thank you for all your honest videos and health challenges . I have rewatched a few of your videos a few times . I also walk fir two blocks four days a a weeks for a few months now but I know that not enough abs I should walk outside of work too . And it’s true . Excercise and eating healthy and getting really good rest really helps . I know I feel the best and most stable I ever been . So thank you inspiring me and being inspiring to everyone else .
I am having goosebumps. I have cerebral palsy and limited mobility. But I have been slowly walking, or trying to. And just in a week, the difference in functionality and gaining more energy and muscle strength in my weaker side. Love this so much ❤️ 💗 💖
And the seated workout will help Mr wo much when I can't move my legs well. I am so excited to find your channel 😍
Love how real you are! I’ve been on a health journey for almost two years and I’m always looking for a new challenge too! Thank you for motivating me!
Wow I am welling up at this video. I have pretty intense depression and had a family member in a wheelchair and I did not expect you to be inclusive of so many communities on here. Amazing video. Totally subscribing and going to binge your other videos now!!
This has convinced me to get back into walking. Before the lockdown, I'd always park further away from work so I could walk. But then I got moved to remote and I've always missed going on those walks. We do small walks after work with our dog, but I think I'll try to walk more before work again
So happy you posted this because I’m going to do this challenge. Tomorrow is my first day of not drinking for a month. I’m also a smoker and am hoping this will help me quit because I’ll only want to feel better and better. So, thank you for posting this at the absolutely perfect time…it has made me even more excited to start my personal journey to better health😊
A MONTH!???? CONGRATS!!! That is so awesome I’m so proud of you!! I am cheering you on Ashlee, best of luck! You got this 💛
@@kayla.nelson thank you so much! Feels good to have someone encourage me😊 you da best!!!!!
As someone who was non weight bearing for 4 months because of a tibial plateau fracture--seated dancing in my room to my favorite songs was a lifesaver. I’ve never been more embarrassed of myself lol but I was desperate for any movement at all. It was sooooo helpful for my mental health during recovery!!
Just stumbled on your video, and can I just say how cool and thoughtful you are? Loved this video as a whole and especially loved the disabled-body inclusivity portion. Definitely had to subscribe after that. Keep up the amazing work ☺️
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love this video and your thoughtfulness & inclusiveness
Thank you so much Tristian!!
This is my first video of yours i saw it pop up on my recommendations and instantly subscribed !! i love how thoughtful you are in including a work out for those who cannot due to limitations! keep up the great videos💖
This video was definitely inspiring. I really never thought about doing exercises sitting down even if you are able bodied. I think I often times get in such a mental rut about having to leave my couch or house. But it just goes to show even just a 30 minute work out is totally doable.
Yes, 100%!
Gotta love being able to recognise a book you’re reading, I’ve been adding walking into my routine (30-60 minutes) and I always have so much more energy and motivation afterwards
Thank you for this video .. your “nudge” is what I need.. I am in my 50’s and I’m too sedentary .. overweight and take a few meds due to the obesity. I have a diagnosis is Panic Disorder (since I was 27) and sometimes exercise , including walking, sends my anxiety into a frenzy ….. your videos are very uplifting …. I may have to put this challenge in my calendar for September …..
I think it’s great to move in whatever way feels best! Even if it’s 5 or 10 min it’s still valid. Even sitting workouts while watching tv is something! Be kind to yourself :)
I really really appreciate you considering the disabled community. I walk with a cane and walking is very hard for me, but I find that I can cycle quite well so I do that instead. When you discussed that, it was an instant subscribe for me
Of course! There needs to be more available for the community. Thanks for being here!
Thank you for adding that disabled person channel and disabled workouts, I often feel Lake disabled workouts often get over overlooked even though manual trigger users almost wrong with people that I know, speaking as a disabled person myself 😇
Thank you so much for the insight on fitness for wheelchair users! My son is in a wheelchair and this is something I’ve been wondering about
Glad it was helpful! The fitness industry definitely needs more inclusivity with movement!
I’m chronically ill and appreciate your addition of another way to get exercise and cardio. 😊
I am a CNA in a hospital and just want you to know I appreciate you and others in your field of work I work alongside PT and OT and I just think you guys are wonderful and I can’t tell you enough how much I do appreciate you thank you so much and I love your videos you’re very encouraging keep up the good work
only fitness video i’ve seen that has been so inclusive to people with different abilities
so cool to see
Once my family got a dog, I walked everyday to every other day. It's weird thinking back, but Oliver (our dog) really helped me. I love walking him and just watching him run around the field. He is such a little goof ball.... but he will guilt trip you into walking.
This was such a great video and I especially loved how you talked about people who aren’t able to walk for various reasons and chose to do something just for them. How sweet and encouraging that was. Definitely making me want to do a 30min/30day walking challenge! And I just might. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Thankyou for talking about people with disabilities. I found this video looking for inspiration today for information about walking. My mother was in a nursing home in a wheelchair and I used to do exercises to help her. I was thinking about this while walking today. Thankyou for providing this information. Xx
Walking makes a HUGE improvement in my mental health. It’s so underrated.
SO UNDERRATED! I felt so cheesy talking about how good I felt mentally but it’s so dang true
I will say every time in my life that I spent a good portion of the day walking - as a college student with no car; during lockdown to keep my body and mind occupied - I looked and felt my best. I need to get back into it. I stopped for a while due to iron-deficiency anemia sapping my energy, but now that I’m being treated for that I could stand to move around some more.
I love how you promote valuable content of other creators🌷💚
Thank you for saying that!
Aawww its so nice of you to think for the one who cant do this walking challenge.
God bless you more for your dedication in your work. Your work needs alot of patience. My nephew too is a nurse i can see how tired but fulfilling his work is..
