yeah. its crazy that they talk like that!
Do they write their own jokes? That would be even more hilarious
We need a WheezyParents compilation stat.
I did it for one day and lost 200 pounds, I live in the UK... I was mugged.
You should be a butt model
😂😂😂
😂😂 funny as fuck 😂😂
lol nice one
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a USPS driver, I hit over 30,000 steps during my work day. I love my job and serving all the wonderful people of my community! ❤️ 😊 😍
No you dont
I hated being a carrier, couldn’t hack it, you’re very strong
I believe you. I used a pokemon step tracker back in the day wheni delivered medication. I questioned it's accuracy when everyday was at or over 30k steps. It was consistent, that's for sure. You're going to put on some weight when you reduce that work load by 30%. I speak from experience.
A man's wife is his life, Mr. UPS Man...
Hope your truck gets fixed soon
I’ve averaged 14,000 steps a day for 3 years. It’s hard at first and then becomes trivial. I can knock out 10K in one walk and not even notice the rest of the day. It would kill me at the start. The body is amazing as adaptation.
Did u lose weight tho
@@vaasmontenegro3993 they definitely got fitter
@@vaasmontenegro3993 I do 10k 5 days a week at work I also do a 30 minuet dumbel workout at home and ive lost over 2 stone so yeah u will but it comes off slowly
I do bout 15k a day. Between walking the dogs and work I hardly notice it. With running I go over 30k.
Yeah, I've averaged 17,000 a day, mostly due to over 20,000 a day at work. I was very sore when I first started, now my feet and back feel fine after work, my endurance is up, and I sleep a LOT LOT better. I also squat a lot at work, and the knee pain I've had for over 10 years only comes on once in a long while. I still hate my job though...haha hrm
I am morbidly obese and this video is sooooo much more effective in motivating me to walk than a million of those expert videos or podcasts. Wow. God bless you guys.
I was, now I'm just obese
Eventually I'll just be overweight and after, normal weight
This was so fun!! Thanks for having us, and thanks for the shout-out at the end. We have watched every challenge you’ve made (they’re amazing!!!) so it’s wild to see ourselves in one! AWESOME!
I really liked this collab between two fairly eccentric groups and you guys nailed the style of his videos!
Also I love all your music, especially the French, and the funky ones. Please do a live show in Seattle cause that's only a 4 hour drive for me!
I feel like I fell back into 2009 RUclips with this collab, and that is not a bad thing. Love this.
Loved the collab!
We need more Pomplamoose vlogs!
Two of my favs coming together 😭 I loved the collab and y'all 💞
I did intermittent fasting, low carb diet change with walking 10000 steps. I lost 30 lbs in about 3 months.
Same here. Started with intermediate fasting (8 hour food window) and cutting way back on bread and pasta. Lost some weight which made walking easier so I started walking 10k steps per day. I lost 29 pounds in three months and have another ~10 to go.
When I hit my weight goal I wonder what I'll do. I suspect I'll increase the eating window to 10 hours and include a bit more carb. But I want to continue the walking as it seems to have eliminated a bunch of stiffness and pain. (I'm an oldie.)
Yeah and once you stop those things, you'll gain fat again
@@Anonymous-qp4zf The trick for not getting fat is to find a medium ground between the regime that lets you lose weight and the regime that caused you to stay fat.
A limited eating window of 10 hours would not be hard for me to follow. That's two hours more than what I'm using to lose weight but less than the number of hours of the past. And I expect I'll continue to walk because I enjoy it.
And I'll weigh myself weekly. If I do put on a couple of pounds I'll tighten things up until I lose back to my goal.
BTW, I'm averaging 2.5 pounds loss per week over the previous three months. And it's fairly painless. Actually, I have far fewer pains than before when I was heavy and walking less. Back then my knees almost always hurt when I walked and one hip hurt from time to time. That's gone.
Nice.
Going at this rate, ull turn into air in a year
Doppelganger couple
You beat me to it! It's uncanny.
for like a minute i was convinced its the same couple
Same... I'm still not convinced though... huh
The only similarity is both males have beards....
Couplegänger. 😐 Does that sound dirty? Oh crap, it totally does. 😌
I've been doing my 10 K steps for the past 2 years now. One thing I've noticed, I could walk faster and longer without having leg pain the next day. I raised my bar, so now I'm trying to get 15 K steps per day.😎
When i initially started i had pain in my shins, hd to alternate as i was scared of a splint .
But i can walk more than 10k easily , especially if i am out and about now
I've been doing distance walking for about 2 years now. My Fitbit is set for a 10,000 step daily goal but I usually walk about 13,000 steps on average daily. It takes me about 90 minutes to do 10,000 steps but I end up walking just a little over 2 hours daily averaging about 7 miles. I'm 77 and not overweight but have lost a few pounds but a lot of inches instead. I also do a 1-hour aqua fitness class 6 days a week at a local health club. Hey, I'm old but can still talk and still walk so I'm taking advantage of what God has still blessed me with. PS, I live in California where I can walk year-round.
I admire you so much. I hope to be like you, and my parents (who are also avid walkers) throughout my life!
@@aic0809 81 and doing the same. It takes me 80 minutes to do 10K. I don't think 10K is some kind of magic number. You can do more, or less, and you will benefit. You have to move as much as you can. I do some resistance training twice a week also. BWT, weights or bands all work fine for this. Squats are a must. Good luck.
@@patrickvanmeter2922 Thank you so much for sharing your experience and providing words of encouragement. I was literally just thinking about how I need to get on track with my fitness. Your post came right on time. 🙏🏾
I did 10000 steps (almost) everyday for 6 months. I went from 185 lbs to 155 lbs and got off all meds. (Age 65).
The downside is I had to buy all new clothes.
Lol, I cannot wait to get a new wardrobe 🤗
Did this with my best friend for about 4 months. Additionally to a great fitness-activity we got plenty of quality time together since we walked for a while each day. End of story: we fell in love walking through the fields and streets of our small town and he's my boyfriend now
Perfect love story!
He got out of the friend zone!
👍👑👍👑
Omg this was so adorable to read. Congrats.
Lovely ...god bless! ...have fun!
That is amazing! Congratulations!!!
My New Year’s resolution this year was an average of 10,000 steps a day. A month and a half left, and I’m still on track!
Haven’t made it every single day, but most, and my yearly average is still over!
Biggest difference: without changing anything else I’ve lost over 10lbs, and I REALLY notice it if i don’t get my steps in and am not active one particular day. Definitely recommend.
Dude, your awesome! You know how people give up within the first 3 months. Finish strong lady!
congratulations!!! this is so cool, i might try it for 2020
Great job! And smart to take an average, because some days it just isn't feasible, and then you an compensate the next day!
TheVanIslandGirl well done 👍🏽👌🎉 thanks for sharing and thanks for the inspiration
Cool, thanks for a motivating comment!
I remember a saying:"When my granddad was 60 he read somewhere that you should do 10000 steps every day. He's 70 now and we have no idea where he is."
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Hahaha
Funny
😂🤣😂🤣
I can’t tell the difference between these guys so this is too confusing to watch
Hahaha I thought I was the only one!! 😂
same
I thought they were face timing with themselves.
Samantha omgosh they aren’t! Wtf
Oomg at first i was like wtf are you talking about, because i thought it was one couple . Ahahhaha
AND I QUOTE "daddy got back !".
We need that tshirt
"Yowza"
Walking gives us benefits we really can’t see. Improved circulation & cardiovascular function, joint loosening, mental boost, stress reduction & time to think or visit etc.
I do 30k steps 5/7 days a week on sidewalks, roads and stairs through snow and slush. I'm a mail man.
How many calories do you eat ? Id. Be stick skinny with your job.
@@carochan86 honestly, not enough calories. I'm 5'10 at 130lbs.
@@KcRace at least you can eat whatever you want ( with in moderation) and it won't be an issue.
Damn, I used to be an outdoor tour guide and do about 15-20K each day, and I thought that was a lot.
carochan86 not an issue for being fat. Sure. But health? Walking will do nothing for the pizza and donuts
I recently started walking in the evenings before settling down for the night. I really enjoy it! It's a good way to get out of the house, away from electronics and just slow down and enjoy life. My quality of sleep improved, I lost weight and felt more relaxed and focused in general throughout the day.
You can’t tell me that this isn’t the same couple from two different dimensions.
kind of love that they never make their child a spectacle on this channel and hardly show their baby on camera.
Kate Bogdan I like it too
Yes! So many parents in RUclips have exploited their kids for the sake of views.
So that’s why there’s a high chair at the parent’s house.
I agree.
When Chyna was pregnant he said he wouldn't do it, because he didn't care about it.
Funny how no one has mentioned that 10,000 steps equates to about 5 miles a day. Five miles of walking is no joke. But my PCP did advise trying to hit at least 7,500 steps a day.
What is a mile?
@@IchibanOjousama the kilometers big brother
@@IchibanOjousama A mile is half a mile more than some people like to walk in a day.
@@IchibanOjousama 5 miles is just about 8 Kilometers. My phone has a step tracker and always notifies my when I reach 10.000 steps a day as if I'm so healthy but its just me walking from my home to school 4 times a day
I get the 10,000 steps done as soon as I wake up.. 6:30 a.m I walk my dog and come back home at 8 a.m I have complete my 10,000 steps. I still have to be careful with what I eat and get at least 30 min workout in the day.
I immediately thought of Robyn Sparkles when he said, “Let’s go to the mall”. 😂
Be a nurse. 10k by noon on those hectic days.
I was just thinking that nurses must do that everyday.
The nurses I know stay glued to their nurses station.
Try medical interns lol.
Nurses rock! Thank you for everything you do.
Yup
Walking is much less stressful on your joints too. Easier to recover from day to day. You could walk 6 miles a day for a month and not feel it. But try running just 3 miles a day for 2 weeks and you'll start feeling the breakdown.
Wheezywaiter you introduced me to intermittent fasting, which is going great. Lost 6 lbs in 6 weeks. Now I’m going to try to walk every day. I thought I subscribed to your channel cos you’re funny and entertaining. Little did I know when I subscribed to your channel my health would be improving. Sneaky sneeky wheezy waiter. 🧐
Glad I could help!
You could also try the no sugar "challenge" 😂
I started IF right about the time of his last video and I've lost about 20 pounds! It's been great!
@@ceebe4075 I don't react that well to sugar but let me tell you, you are right! The way to handle it, is to not purchase sugary items, make healthy treats yourself and if you eat out/ it's a special event: let yourself have the dessert man. If you ban it all together you will most likely end up binging it in a weak moment.
@Sean Dooley What a negative nancy you are. So what if she isn't loosing it at top speed? The thing that matters is that she keeps doing it. The goal will be reached with time.
edit: spelling
This just sounds like running but with extra steps.
Lol, wellll la de da...
Yeah...because walking is running...somehow.
Your brilliance my man, is wasted on this comment page
Click Bait, are millennials like 40 now?
But much kinder on your joints.
Pokemon Go Egg Hatchers: "Those are rookie numbers"
Or portkey/portmanteau openers on Harry Potter Wizards Unite!!!
This made me laugh, primarily because it's my parents that play Pokemon Go.
That game really did wonders for our generation but the hype died 😞
Halfway through this video I pushed the pause button and went for a 30 minute walk!
That’s amazing👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Doing 10,000 steps a day helped me lose weight a few years ago. I lost about 40lbs.
How long did that take? Well done !!
Jake and Nat are really Craig and Chyna from an alternate dimension.
it's much easier to walk when you manage to live near the places you go everyday. if it makes sense to walk to work and the grocery store for instance rather than going by car or bus or train because it's just too close to justify the cost, then you won't even think about it.
Or, conversely, if you live somewhat out in the sticks where there isn't anything to walk to at all, you're that weirdo walking around your neighborhood aimlessly.
This is my life. lol
Definitely! I used to live 2 miles from work and walked there and back everyday. It was awesome. Then we moved and now I live 250 metres from work. It's much harder to get the same amount of walking in. I mean, I could make a 2 mile round trip to and from work, but it's much harder to motivate myself to do it.
But with a bus you actually need to walk as well. Got like 10k steps today by using the bus and going shopping.
You can take a walk in your lunch break, that's easy 2000 steps, if not more (depending on how fast you walk and how long your break is).
I tend to take parking spots far from my final destination if I feel like I need to move my body more. It’s a good compromise when you don’t live close enough to walk to places.
Would love to see a video at the end of the year recapping all the month long challenges you’ve tried. What worked, what didn’t, what you’re still doing, etc.
The blonde girl looks like Taylor Swift without makeup!
loretta powell I scrolled to find a comment about that. Thank you I agree
Omg she's her doppelganger!! Even I scrolled down to see if it was just me or someone else thought she looks like Taylor Swift too!!
loretta powell I for a minute thought she was her.

I don’t see it
I have arthritis in my hip but I find that walking gently on a flat, stable surface is actually quite helpful.

I walk 3 blocks and I’m in pain, with a few breaks I can walk about 45 minutes. I’m limping most of the walk.
I've hit my goal now 1214 consecutive days. It can get quite addicting ;)
And it is super medative 🥰
I love walking 💪💪
Way to go! I need to do this!
Wow
@@evaj5937 Did you?
After thirty days the habit was set, so you should be good for a long time as a part of every day.
I take my toddler to Target on bad weather days. She’s really good about just walking down the isles and not being destructive. Win/win
Happy belated Birthday, Wheezy!
Uhhh colab? 10.000 keyboard tiles a day challenge?
At 70, walking 7-10K day
during COVID the better I feel
Lol if those are your real parents then I think your relationship with them is really wholesome. You're blessed.
When you hit a million subs you should do "we try all the 'we tried stuff for 30 days' for 30 days" and do them all at the same time
Vegans who fast intermittently, waste nothing, wake up at 4am and walk 10k steps daily 💀
@@ajdamronfamily and meditate with no internet to complain about it and no sugar to make themselves feel better 😂
I fully support this idea.
Tbh I did this for months and I lost 15 kg, it really helped me feel less stressed and I also ended up spending less money going to places, bcs you know... walking is free 💸💸💸💸
Wow, thats amazing!
Bangtanzzz actually it cost you 15 kg 😆 congrats
Yeah, my friend's think I'm crazy for walking to most places, but it's so much cheaper and I generally hit 10k steps a day 😊
the parents bit is my favorite bit in (my) youtube history
I'd love to see another collab with Jack and Nataly. I like the four of you quite a lot and regularly come back to re-watch this one.
Thank you for this. I was fat and sedentary. Then I started keto and intermittent fasting. Lost a ton of weight. Then I started walking 10,000 steps a day. Now I swim every day and actually swim laps. And most days still walk the 10,000 as well. Some days way more. I've hit 20,000 more than a few times. If you knew me you'd think I was talking crazy, but I swear it's true. I've gone from 265 lbs to 175. I want to lose 10 lbs more and will get there. I feel incredible. I love to hear your take on these things. I particularly liked the meditation video.
I stopped eating sugar and walked the 10,000 steps and lost about 7 kilos in 3 weeks :D
@Eric Ganske That's exactly what i want to lose 😁
How much is a Kilo?
A little more than 2 pounds, 7 kilos should be like 15 pounds, now I must have lost about 25 pounds in 2 months
Ramza Mondragon congrats
.....wow! I also want to lose 25Kg
Thats great!! But you make cutting sugar sound so easy!! I have such a sweet tooth that I dont have no idea how to quit sweets :(
I kept thinking "Why does this guy have 2 wives? And all he does is walk with one of them?".
DesertMeadow
They are the same people, silly he and his wife was talking to themselves on the Telly.
I've been walking a lot since I moved! Got a more free time since I'm still in uni. It's energizing, helps me with stress and anxiety and one of the best things: I'm tired every night. Just physically exhausted instead of restless and unable to sleep.
This is so motivating! I work part-time. I live in a very nice climate (Charleston, SC) by myself, so I have no excuses. I have been walking on weekends (watching tourists), but I could totally get 10k steps in before work every day. Thanks a lot!
I started walking 2 years ago. Have had down times. The reason I started because I was snoring like a BUZZSAW! After my start, a couple if months, I wasn't snoring as much. Also, I have started swimming, and getting steps in the water. Walking in the water can be beneficial if you have sore joints! Back to walking. I live in Ohio, and we get some inclement weather. For those days, I have walking videos (I love Leslie Sansone!), dance videos, Zumba videos, etc. Plus, if you have amazon prime, you have access to free exercise videos. Plus, plus, RUclips has a ton!
I applaude all off you doing this when you are younger. I didn't start until I was 48! And that was after four 9 lb children where I didn't lose the weight in between. Keep it up!👏👏👏 and thanks for the video!
Should've gotten an audiobook sponsor. I fill my daily commute and walking with podcasts and maybe an audiobook. Not only does it unbore your walks, but it also gives you the desire to continue to walk.
This is what i needed seriously, it 's been more than a month since i stopped my running and i feel so lazy,more stressed,depressed....and when i think why this happening i can not find any reason but me stopping my physical activity,i used an app called runtasticss to follow my routine and the community was really amazing and i was super motivated ,happy,and was losing weigh to the point i never felt was possible ,but i stoped my activity ,i m getting back to my old bad habits .
I really needed this,so i think i will start from tomorrow to build up that good habit again.
Walk,run,do some kind of sport....and ur future self will thank u for this,with the bonus of the endorphin rush u will take daily .
10000 steps for me is about 1 hour 40 minutes of walking.
It's about 4.5 miles for me, or about 1 hour and 20 mns at a normal pace. I know this because I'm doing a 20k steps a day challenge and have been walking 9 miles a day
I did it for just a little over an hour yesterday. I actually did 12k steps
Takes me 1h40m too.
I do a morning walk of about 3.1 miles.
Then an evening walk of 1.6-2 miles.
Today: 12,528 steps, 5.76 miles so far
I wake up at 530 I hit 10000 by 730 every day lol. Then I just live life 😂😭😂😅 unless it's thunder storming
@@davidmoss8059 do you lose weight?
That connection to Pomplamoose is awesome, I'm a big fan of theirs and of yours independently. Seeing you all work together is cool.
Im watching this in 2021. When covid hit my Man lost his job but i was able to work from home part time. we started walking together daily. He is working again, but I miss him so much, I really miss our walks because we talked more and were closer. Loved the video!!!
Tell him how important those walks were/meant to you in a semi serious conversation, he'll respond!
WOAH ok didn't know they know Pomplamoose and DEFINITELY didn't know Jack is the man who created Patreon lol not what I came here to learn but my dumb ass is glad
Same
And Scary Pockets!
yeah, and i was on the livestream where Jack was expressing his frustration with having so many subs on RUclips and so few views, and even fewer turning up for live shows and he was asking for ideas of how to get more of that money into the artists hands rather than advertisers as well as ensuring that people that liked the artists would actually get the content they want. months later, he launched Patreon. I was all for it then. but then i found out that one of the artists i was supporting in Patreon was actually only getting a little more than half of what I was paying them. and I thought about what they were actually getting for that... a payment processing system and a shitty "community" system that's not even worth using. The artist has to do all of the promotion, the artist supplies all of the content, perks, and merch, it's not like a gallery space where there's a physical building to pay for, and limited space for the artists work to live in... I realized it would be cheaper for the artist to pay someone to create a website and just pay the creditcard processing fee themselves, and they would get a better product and keep more of the money... so now I'm pissed because I've been recommending Patreon to people, when i shouldn't have been.
That's how I discovered pomplamoose. RUclips did its job for once and recommended a scary pocket video and saw the keyboardist. I was like "heh, kinda looks like the Patreon CEO... hold on, that is the Patreon CEO!" I googled it and turns out he has two bands. I checked out pomplamoose and became obsessed. 🎵Take a look at me nooow 🎵
For a moment I remembered old vlogs you did while running.
Love your channel dawg, I’ve been here for over 10 years now! 🙌🏾
my doctor told me to walk an hour a day and I really struggled with it. so we got a high energy dog and now it is fun to walk for that long. :)
I average about 12000 steps per day. I enjoy it, and my cardiologist is happy with it. I'm 76 years old, retired, and live in L.A., so the weather is usually good. I think I'd be a fool not to get this level of exercise. I also watch my diet (which is low carb, intermittent fasting). I think that this lifestyle is probably going to extend my life a few years (but nothing in life is guaranteed). Staying healthy is a pretty complicated business, but some things are obvious (like not smoking, avoiding alcohol, wearing your seat belt, having a good marriage etc., etc.)
You should look into a treadmill desk! That way you can edit and get yout steps in at the same time!! I would definitely recommend you to look in to those ! :) It's a life changer.
Leany Kanda what feedback I’ve seen about those is they actually lower productivity.
They're not for everyone. Please try it before you buy it. Huge disappointment in my case. Way too difficult to really focus, balance issues while working to correctly use the mouse and the computer, straining in my eyes who had to work extra to focus while I had those slight walking movements...
I’ve owned a Fitbit since 2013 and have aimed for 10,000 steps everyday since lol. I have a full time desk job so it’s definitely hard and I walk aimlessly around my house in circles just to get steps 😆 it’s just part of my routine now and no one finds it weird anymore 😂 I definitely think it helps me maintain my weight and keeps me active in the colder months.
Hahaha i pace up and down my hallway on short step days. While my neighbors think im on meth, my cats think im superwoman. So yeah. Its good for everyone involved id say lol
Get a mini trampoline and use it during the add breaks whilst watching TV.
Same!
I did that for 6 months. I have lost 100 pounds.
Great job!
Same. I dunno how many miles that is, but I used to walk 4 mi at least every other day and ate once a day with no difficulty, thereby losing weight, feeling better about myself, and having too much energy! But then I had a BABY.
What kinda diet did you use for those 6months?
C Conroy loooool
Congrats! That's amazing!
I love walking in the mall. Tips to not overspending: leave your purse at home. I just bring enough to pay for the parking if I have to drive there.
Great advice!! Thx
I have been walking for 1.5 hours every day for the last 2 months. Typically 5.25 miles and 11k steps or more. 20 pounds lighter and much stronger. It is moderately hilly here, and I no longer fear the hills at all.

I made 11,5k steps (in average) for a whole year (2019). My last gift for christmas was a fitness tracker. Now I'm addicted to it. 😉
Noice.
Crazy that you mentioned digestion because culturally, we take walks after meals to help with the digestion.

I started the Leslie Sansome walk at home program when covid hit. I only do 7,000 steps a day (three miles) six days a week, taking Sunday off as a day of rest. Lost twelve pounds in a month and a half, my blood pressure went to normal! I still walk (its been two years) and have lost a total of fifty pounds and have maintained it. I feel terrific and it only takes less than a hour each day. Mother nature is amazing.

Go to a "nicer" neighborhood and walk around there!
Yeah if i werent a lone young female and i didnt live in a town where people have loose dogs roam around who are trained to be aggressive and basically be land sharks i would too lol. Like less afraid of snakes than the neighbourhood dogs and possible rapists.
EmmaAppleBerry where do you live?
I tend to get dizzy so I don’t like walking outside. I bought a treadmill for like 150€. It is foldable and fits under a bed
Having dogs forces me to go for two walks a day, and usually my husband and I try to do it together. We started doing it to get the dogs exercise but this video just made me realize how good it is for us too. I had already realized that dog walks are when we really get a chance to talk and that's one of my favorite parts, getting to spend time together with no other distractions. Right now my husband and the dogs are out of town for a few days so I haven't been walking and I feel pretty lethargic and I'm sure part of that is because I haven't been walking.
I'm also going to be one of those obnoxious people and say I don't think the cold weather is a great excuse for not getting out. We live in Montana, where it also gets cold and crappy out and we still try to walk the dogs twice a day, every day. Sometimes on weekends it doesn't happen twice, and they just get one longer one, but we almost never let the weather be the reason we don't go for a walk. When it's cold we just super bundle up. If it's really cold, like single digits, negatives etc., we still walk but usually for not as long. That's a long way of saying that the weather isn't an excuse! What presents more of a challenge for us rather than the cold, is the lack of daylight here in the winter. It's dark when I leave for work, and dark when I come home. So we got some decent headlamps and have been walking in the dark. If we can do it in Montana you can do it in Wisconsin! (Although we have never tracked our steps, I don't think we get 10,000 every day. That sounds like a lot.)
I walk about 10 to 15 miles every day even when it cold the only time I don't is when it's raining or snowing I found that the more I walked the better I feel health wise sometime I get my wife to go walking with me after dinner
Listening to audiobooks or podcasts is actually one of THE reasons I love changing it up from bicycle to walking! More minutes of activity, more minutes of listening to stuff! :D
just drive further then? :D same amount of minutes then
Maarten Bos same here!! I often catch myself making extra time to walk instead of bike to class so I can listen to more podcasts and get more Vitamin D :)
@@robinarman7300 just as safe as walking... it's only dangerous if you are NOT paying attention to your surroundings and have the volume up too high but usually audiobooks are not blasting away like ppl listening to music often has
@@robinarman7300 yes I agree on this. I can't really pay attention to a podcast when cycling. I need to pay attention to my surroundings. When walking I can zone out.
Human beings are designed to walk a fair bit, aren't we? Hunters/gathers and all that? In fact, aren't most living beings designed to move regularly?
Georgiana's Studio human beings can ‘out walk’ any animal. We have the most endurance.
Lord Bunbury yes but it’s not by how our body is structured it’s mostly because our body sweats instead of panting allowing us to stay cool for long runs
Lord Bunbury ohh yeah we can also out run any animal too but not in speed but in distance
Look up persistence hunting, people would outrun their prey because we regulate heat better
My boyfriend and I wanted to start taking walks after dinner. We hadn’t really done it in a while. The other day we walked to the mailbox and back and honestly I didn’t want to stop by the end of it. I think it’s just getting us to do it. Seeing you guys do it and especially seeing the spend more time aspect of it would be nice for us. We both work full time and I go to school full time as well. I think the walks will just help get some quality time in
I listen to positive audiobooks and novels when I walk. It’s amazing how good I feel!
When your dad slapped his butt and your mom said yowza, I had to give a thumb up
I had a muscle tinnitus as well! I went to doctors, they gave me the ear exam, and i heard all the sounds. They said that if my tinnitus was because of my ears getting bad, I wouldn't have heard all of the sounds. Thus, was because of muscles in my neck. Weird!
Wow. I'll keep this in mind for myself. Interesting.
Did you ever fix it? Mine is way better - and I can’t really think of anything that changed except for the exercise.
@@Jackconte not completely fixable, as my neck muscle soreness usually comes from this accident I was in like 7 years ago. So essentially half of my shoulder blade bone is in a completely wrong place, which causes tension. I could go to a physio therapist, but not sure if it will do enough. It comes and goes, for example today it's quite bad.
Muscle tinnitus? Wow. Thanks for sharing this. I have had some weird buzzing sounds in my ear the last little while and really bad neck/shoulder pain!
@@spacecase7566 Same!
That small sketch with the parents at the beginning made me go "ah, I have found those rare, genuinely entertaining RUclipsrs"
Shoes! So important to think about the right foot ware and switching shoes out when needed. Helps manage that hip or knee worries.
It has been a while since I watched this but it popped up in my recommended again. So I figured I'd comment.
I've been on a 10k 14 day streak now and really feel the benefits. Better mental clarity and lost some weight (1-2kg).
Having a dedicated tracker really does help.
The good thing about walking in the snow is that those steps are leveled up, so the number is the same but the calories behind the number are bigger.
I combined 10,000+ steps/day with intermittent fasting for one year and I dropped 45 lbs, one can probably achieve more since I did cheat twice to three times per week, but it was amazing. And it's probably a lifestyle I'm going to continue with for the rest of my life. I eat my last meal between 6-7 PM and I eat my first meal the next day at 11-12 AM, in between those I'll have coffee and I drink a lot of water in general.
I just wanted to chime in and say I did the exact same thing throughout 2019 and lost tons of weight too. Then 2020 happened and I've been housebound and drinking too much beer since March so back to square one it is.
How many hours do you fast?
@@janazm4814 if you mean me then the same roughly as the guy above, although after a while I upped it to a more extreme 20 hour fast each day on weekdays, only eating between 5pm and 9pm each night and working out in the mornings or at lunch, black coffee and sugar free sport drinks is what powered me through that and I eventually tapered back to breaking my fast around 12-1pm after my workouts because afternoons were a bit of a slog.
I will implement your good advice. Diet and intermittent fasting. Thank you!👍
Where are my waiters/ waitresses at?! We do this in no joke 😂
I've been walking about 15k steps every day for the last 3 years because of my job and nothing changed other than my legs hurt all the time 😂
Maybe you need better shoes or a low carb diet? Walking shouldn't hurt unless there is something wrong.
@@luddity no I’m just getting old 😂
I appreciate this video so much! When you tied in your intermittent fasting stats showing a loss of 7 lbs I felt so much better. I'm so sick of hearing how someone or another has started IF and lost 3,000 lbs in just 7-days.....uh no. I'm on my 3rd month and weigh in only every 30 days. I've lost 11 lbs. that I know of and dropped a pant size which is so much more important. So IF and walking are doing the trick. I live in Palm Springs, CA so the weather right now is ideal. I only walk between 6-8k steps but I do it every single day and it's working.
I'm weirdly depressed that I knew she was walking around a Rite Aid from the glimpse of the floors I saw. I'm glad I don't work there anymore.
I walk a lot (like, a lot) and my trick to staying motivated is to load my phone up with a frankly absurd amount of podcasts and audiobooks. Like, so many podcasts and audiobooks that it'd be impossible for a regular person to keep up. Often I find myself not wanting to walk, but knowing that I'm falling behind on my various listenings, so I throw on my headphones and go for a wander as an excuse to listen to more stuff. Of course, once I'm off, I'm fine.
I love you guys~ you guys give out great insight. Ive been working out in the gym for almost 3 years now, I started at 360lbs and I am currently at 245lbs...I need about 60lbs more and I would reach my goal. this last 60lbs is my toughest one so far because i keep betraying myself.
I used to walk my 10,000 steps each day, but I found it took alot of my time. And since one of my goals is weight loss, when I got a bit more endurance, I started running as well. I find mixing it up between running and walking works best for me 👍
I live in a rural area, and I can not just go for a walk because no one keeps their dogs in. My mom was visiting and was attacked by a neighbors dog. I have to either walk on a treadmill or drive 45 minutes to a trail.
I have ADHD so I get 10,000 steps easy by walking into a room, forgetting what I needed from that room, walking back, remembering what I was doing, going back, realizing I don't have some important things I need, going to get them, forgetting what they are, pacing as I try to remember, then grabbing the stuff which is actually in a different room, and then doing the thing.
I have done the 10K per Day off and on for several years. Great in the short term but hard to maintain over time, have to keep doing a mental reset to get back into it. Especially with a left hip that keeps trying to tell me that I'm getting older. Thank you for diving into the pros and cons of it and how it affected each of you.
WheezyWaiter and Pomplamoose is the crossover I never knew I needed
I've watched Poplamoose for years and I had no idea Jack was a co-founder of Patreon. Reading up on that story with him and Sam Yam now. Very interesting!
The problem with many people who train hard at the gym, is they wind up being sedentary more to "recover". That combined with over-estimating calorie burn and eating too much results in fatter "fit" people.
I didn't start getting really lean until I started walking dogs part time a few years ago. Suddenly I was getting 20K+ steps most days of the week. LOL Regular daily walking, lifting weights 3-4 days per week, and a solid eating strategy like intermittent fasting is what makes the difference.
Walking every day has been fantastic. On average, I get over 10,000 steps per day mostly without to many issues and it really helped with my health, weigh management and joint mobility. It gave me more energy, got me away from my computer and allowed me to see what was going on outside. Most of the time, I had a circuit that I would walk and variate so I did not need a purpose other than to walk. Personally, I have a lot of energy which I believe comes from my vegetarian transitioning to vegan diet and sometimes I actually have to tell myself to stop walking as I have other things that need doing. On the flip side, it does take up time and that is something that most people struggle to manage. I have time at the moment where I can walk but I do know that if I was a parent, it would be hard. Props for the video and for thinking outside the square. Propz.
