- Here are 5 reasons why walking is great for weight loss.
It burns 100cals per mile approx. (same as running)
Preserves lean muscle mass which increases calorie burn. Calorie restriction alone will lose muscle as well as fat
Reduces cortisol, the stress hormone.
Improves your mood. If you enjoy doing what you’re doing, you’re more likely to keep doing it. Those that beat themselves up with high intensity workouts tend to quit
It is free, easy to access, suitable for all levels of fitness

Walking combined with resistance training and good nutrition is all that is required for long term fitness and health. Sticking to the basics works best

Yup! Walking is really incredible.
Yeah, that’s what he seems to be saying, in a nutshell. Good summary 👍🏽
My mother is 60, 2 months age she began walking for an hour each morning with her friends and also eating healthy but plenty no diet. She lost 15kg!!!!! Just by walking daily, I was so surprised because I always do much more complicated exercises and because they’re tough I skip them often and her, simply because of walking she lost weight and I still haven’t. There’s a lesson there 🙌🏼❤️
Your comment is so encouraging!! I m gonna take it as a cue for pushing myself to get up in the morning for walk … if u cud share about what does your mom eat ..😇
6. While you're out walking, you're away from the fridge 🤣
What if you walk to the fridge?
I have multiple myeloma. This is a terminal and deadly blood cancer. Last year I lost 32 pounds in a week and a half and spoke to my hematologist about hospice care. In February 2022 I noticed that I was slowly gaining weight which was a good thing. On march 23 I started power walking again. I do between 10K and 26K for now. I plan on doing another 42K marathon. I can vouch that power walking is better than running. There are a ton of benefits. When I was running my knees always hurt. Power walking solved that problem. Now I do at least one half marathon a week usually the day after chemo when I feel the worst. For me I feel so much better after.
Thanks for this video. By the way, I have done almost 40 virtual races since March 23. My hemotologist is astounded.
This is a very inspirational story, thank you so much for sharing.
Fasting before chemo helps to destroy the cancer and lessons the aftereffects.
I also drink a quart of warm water with a tablespoon of activated charcoal after MRI's with dye.
I walk on a treadmill and raise the incline for my power walking. I'm 75 and around one percent survive my liver cancer with my comorbidities. It's now five and a half years since the surgery that removed six pounds of cancer that had eaten my gallbladder and 55 percent of my liver.
It's the resting and sleeping part where you gain muscle. Don't overdo it.
I’m sorry to hear. My dad died of the same 4 yrs ago. We all figured from Vietnam war gas.
I have been sedentary for many years due to 19 surgeries and chronic illnesses. Last week I started walking to the end of my road and back 3 times a day . And I started eating good . I have lost 6 pounds in 6 days and I feel soooo good !!!! I feel like I am high on life . Best therapy for depression as well
I start walking 6 block down and up every day when I first started I had to stop and rest now I don’t and my body would hurt now it feel good you just have to keep going and pick more as you go now I’m walking 10 blocks
Great stuff people, ,,do more never give up...
That's wonderful!
Walking is WAY underrated!
Completely agree with you!
I have to say again, this is an excellent video. I often tell my friends and my nurses that my fitness club is free and open 24 hours a day. I like to do virtual races close by in case in have any cancer related issues. After 12 and a half full marathons and over 50 half marathons, I'm still here power walking and able to live with my cancer. 😀♥️
Fantastic advise, breakdown simple and easy to follow, I’ve bought a fitbit and do 10k steps a day and its wonderful for depression anxiety, mood uplift, I’ve got better sleep too and feel more alert and motivated, I’m losing weight too 😊👍thanks for the video
Yesterday I walked 10,342 steps in a park and I also love walking.
Walking and intermittent fasting have been my holy grail! There’s a virtual challenge where you “walk to Mordor,” and since my husband and I are such nerds, we’re going to do it. 😅
I've had better results from walking plus strength training than having just done running by itself. I always found I had this uncontrollable hunger after running that I would not have had otherwise. But I understand there are people that really enjoy running and that's great everyone is different. This was great advice really enjoyed the video.
Same!
Your dead right about the strength training. More muscle mass = higher calorie expenditure.
Same here
Exactly this!! I eat so much running. Now I'm doing strength training, walking in a little hit and I'm having good results of course with clean nutrition
Same here. I’ve been strength training for a few years and had noticed changes but when I added walking HUGE difference.
I walk about 6 miles a day every single day and it feels great 😊
Me too and I love it ❤️
@@melissawashingtonaka..thea9995 thank you for sharing
Thanks for making this video. People love to complicate the simplest things, and RUclips videos sometimes cater to this mentality. You've cut through all the BS and have given us common sense advice and facts about walking.
I really needed this video, just what I've been looking for ❤
Very informative. Packed with great tools. Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks for the info.
I'm 38 year old I walk 15kms a day,20k steps and during weekends I walk 20kms. I started recently though from Jan 25th 2022
Excellent work my friend, keep it up!
Perfect video, simply explained and inspiring...thank you
😊
Great video and information. Much appreciated! I liked and subscribed.
Thank you 🙏 for such a clear explanation of the benefits of walking .
Thank you for this video
Thank you so much for your advice. Love what you talk about. I lost 47.3 kilos by just walking and cutting out all fats. I walk for 41/2 hours a day, sometimes 5 hours a day and feel so good by the end of the day. My husband reckons I do to much walking but I enjoy what I do.I was well over 100kgs. My doctor was so proud of me thought I could not do it. I have been walking nearly all my life as I was big from a little girl.Now I am 64 years old and still walking.But eating less.
Well done! Keep up the good work, you're doing amazing!
Thank you ,I feel great.Just got back from a 31/2 hour walk. this afternoon I will finish it off.
That’s impressive!!!
Great!! I walk a lot but due to Menopause gained 6kg .. walking/running daily. Got a Treadmill for my Birthday and its great. Morning Walk with Hubbi outdoors and after Work 15Min fast Speed on Treadmill. Hoping to look better soon.
Excellent, sounds like you're all set! Good luck!
You sound reasonable!
Thank you brother 🙏
Really clear good advice and well presented. Thankyou. Just bought a new coros apex so keen to put the walking to the test
On July 5th I started Waling over 10,000 5 days a week!! I arrive to work an hour earlier and walk 2 miles before work:-))))
It is true. More motivated. Thank you. Liked and subscribed☺
I never take electronics with me walking. It's too distracting and doesn't give you the slice of nature and what is around you.
Not in my experience. I notice everything Jackrabbits, road runners and weird birds. I have even found some free flower pots and buckets tossed by landscapers and construction workers in my surroundings. I walk at a good pace and listen to interesting videos or music.
Excellent point 👍
Thanks 👍
Great info and motivation! Thank you! I have started active am and pm walking again and hoping to lose Covid 25. So sad. I had been doing so good.
You got this!
From experience walking, resistance and eating a moderately wholesome diet is all you need....and very manageable❤
Good video ❤in my climate the treadmill is also ver helpful in the winter time to get my steps in😊🎉
There's some early silent film footage on RUclips of crowd scenes on a busy New York street. There are no fat people in that footage! Everyone is slim - because they walk everywhere. No weight loss "diets" and everyone ate a faily high fat diet - yet none of those people are fat - amazing, isn't it?
Walk in the morning before you eat breakfast this will help you to burn more body fat because the only fuel that is available is your own body fat this has been proven to be more effective I have tried this it really works you will notice a difference.
@@robertriefer9312 Thanks! I kinda knew that, but it's good to hear from someone else. Your comment is motivating me now. My real problem is eating too much, and not the good stuff, but that's another topic. Just curious: how cold is it winter where you on winter mornings? Best wishes.
Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks, will do!
I walk currently because I'm 40lbs too heavy to consider running. I used to love running, so I hope to lose a few lbs and then graduate back to running, HIIT sprints particularly. Right now I use a treadmill on 4% incline for 20-30 mins, if I fancy a change, I get on the elliptical for a bit, or rower, so I'm doing some cardio for 30 mins in total every day. Keeping it low impact is what I need right now because of chronic pain issues from a previous illness, if I go too hard too soon, I exhaust myself and that stops me from doing it consistently. Better to walk consistently than run once in a while!
Thankyou😘
So interesting and exciting because of the influence on so much disease. Could even have to do. With chronic fatigue
This is a very informative video
Glad you liked it
Go see your doctor...yeah right like I trust doctors lol
Amen 😂😂
It’s true lost 100 pounds so far walking over 10000 steps a day
Nice!
Not sure about the 1mile walking vs 1mile running being both 100kcal. Running is more per mile. But the rest is bang on, waking is imo better for weight loss than running especially due to the ability to keep it consistent (and longer) and keeping in the right aerobic zones for far longer (per mile let’s say). Totally agree, walking is the best!
You need more subscribers. Your calm tone is very nice.
Thank you! 😃
Thanks .
You're welcome
Really nice video
Glad you liked it
Nice video
'm 38 year old I walk 15kms a day,20k steps and during weekends I walk 20kms. I started recently though from Jan 25th 2022
There is also no big difference between running in zone 2 and normal walking concerning puls. Also for walking there is no change of clothes, warm-up and shower needed. So at the end it takes the same time to run or walk.
Happy walking ....
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
@@DynamicRunningFitness I did. Please keep them coming.
🙌🙌🙌
I do 5.2 miles 5 to 6 days a week on treadmill at5mph and up I find this much harder than walking outside it forces your pace and incline
I was in Bahrain in 1999 and I always thought it was because of that.
I do 5k and I use my Apple Watch ⌚️ for everything and it works great 👍
I burn 🔥 about 115 calories per mile on an outdoor walk around my neighborhood. It feels great 👍🏿
Keep it up
If your going to spend your time walking, make it a brisk walk for an extra calorie burn.
And remember...
Walking is good
Brisk walking is better
Brisk walking up inclines (stairs, hills) is best!
I’m relatively active. I go running and playing soccer often but I always have had some stubborn belly fat lingering around. I’ve cut out running and replaced it with with walking and noticing a slight improvement in losing belly fat. NOT weight and I don’t care to lose weight. I believe there is some truth to this and I’m hoping to see more success in this practice.
Hi Suraj. It is very easy to fall into the trap of weight loss or weight gain being down to body fat changes. Body 'weight' comprises of more than that, muscle, water, food intake and digestive tract contents all make a shift on the scales. As you are an active person you may lose some body fat but gain some body muscle which won't move the scales necessarily but will change your shape. As for the stubborn belly fat, have you tried intermittent fasting.
In my neighborhood you’ll be forced to run sometimes because we got a lot of stray dogs
just started walking an hour a day. I don't know how far that is, but I am going to try and keep at it.
You’ll burn lots of fat especially if you do it in fasted state
About 3 miles
@@erick7brian thanks, Ive been feeling good. Added some bike riding too :)
I been walking 5 days a week for 2 weeks now and I'm going to keep on going I just need to learn to quit binge eating. I really want to loose weight 🥺.
You got this!
Keep it up! Just look up true low calorie foods that you personally really enjoy that you don’t have to prepare, binge that instead and walk 👍
I love walking but I have sciatica and need to lose weight for it
I have same, but walking is helping me, I even have a slipped disc, I've lost 11 kg in 3 weeks by walking and diet
I usually walk more than 10,000 steps a day. 😊
🙏🏿
How fast do you have to walk
Ty
I would love this to be true for me😞. I've been walking consciously for a couple of months now. My goal is 10k on-purpose steps (I don't count the steps I accumulate via my general day), and I've gained 7lbs lol 😆! Yes, I do moderated strength training 3xs a week. Yes, I drink enough water. No, I've not increased my calories (usually around 1200 daily) to compensate for the calories lost via exercise. I won't stop walking but dang it's frustrating!
I hope I didnt read that you consume 12k calories daily…..?
@@thisismylongusernameonyoutube - Thank you for being polite in pointing out my mistake. 1200 is what I meant. I will edit my original comment. Thanks again and have a great weekend.
I had the same issue. But it turns out I had insulin resistance. I tried intermittent fasting, and while it took five months to reverse it, I managed. I got my eating window down to four hours.
A little bit before I got my bloodwork back (cholesterol trending in the right direction, even my iron deficiency anemia reversed), I started seeing some results. I started walking *every* day and added a lot of OMAD (One meal a day) days into my fasting plan, and I’m dropping over a pound a week now.
I have a teeny tiny channel geared toward chronic pain patients (and those with depression and chronic fatigue) and recently posted a video about the challenge I gave myself, and how I coped with it while still being chronically ill. I’m hoping to try an hour a day in the spring to see how it impacts me.
I don’t know if you have an issue like insulin resistance going on, but you might look at a blood panel, see if you have any complications like that or a thyroid issue.
I could never make progress until I addressed my underlying problem. I wasn’t doing anything *wrong.* But my body was simply not geared toward dropping weight. I had to make it adapt. My doctor mentioned me being on a diabetes medication to help trick my body to reverse the insulin resistance. But it’s possible to do it naturally, if you don’t have a history with EDs.
I hope you find what works for you. 🌻
Have you kept at it? How’s it going?
Hi hun I hope u can advise I've had RNY Bypass I've lost 150 pounds I've 20 pounds to go to qualify for skin removal. I'm in a terrible stall. I'm low carb low fat eat 900 to 1000 cats per day. I'm a year and a half out. I walk 5 k to 10 k per day. I don't believe in restricted diet as my bariatric team says it will elevate my set point any advise would be greatly appreciated 😊
can i still run on my walks cause i started doing 30 mins walks at like 11 pm and i walk mostly all of it but i still am running when i do it. does it
matter?
I'm 229 lbs I'm doing 12k a day.
Excellent stuff, well done. Keep it up
Would using an elliptical at a casual pace be comparable to walking, in terms of calories lost and muscle retention/using body fat as fuel?
Yes. The same goes for riding a bike at an easy pace.
@@sofiairias6319 Thanks!
Yes. Most low intensity exercise methods will have a positive effect and it is good to include a variety to prevent boredom but also to challenge your body in slightly different ways.
@@DynamicRunningFitness thanks!
Got me at FREE!!
I walk everyday for two weeks now and I gain one pound why? They say it could be muscles. When am I gonna be able to lose weights.
Is it still beneficial to walk slowly if walking fast isn't an option? Say, for a knee injury? Does it still burn fat if you're walking slower?
The slower the better to be honest as this keeps you firmly in the aerobic range. You will still be burning fat.
I was told that brisk walking instead of my regular walking. I do a lot of just regular walking. I sit for work all week. I walk daily.
I walk about five months last year inch can off not the pound which what I was looking for. Any suggestions as to how to get the pounds off?
Look at your diet and reduce excess sugars and refined carbs. If your diet is high in sugar and refined carbs then you will constantly have high levels of insulin, making fat burning very difficult.
Your video wonderful crystal clear I walk every day twenty thousand steps I have to say i haven't lost a pound but I will keep walking
The more I walk, the more I eat !
As long as you're making healthy decisions in your food choices.
@@DynamicRunningFitness vegetable oil is the worst food people eat !
Dude you look just like Thomas Lennon.
Hey , is that Freddie Mercury back there ?
It is crazy to realize how in the US nobody walks anywhere and how THAT! Has made everybody fat and sedentary.
do you have an app or a program that can help me go from walking to running and losing weight? I was told do the 10,000 steps a day but that is hard.
Hi Phil. If you're struggling with 10,000 steps a day then I'm not sure that running is particularly going to help you, unless of course you particularly want to take up running. If that is the case then there is a program called 'Couch to 5K' that you could do a google search for or download from an app store. Here in the UK the NHS do one also. With regards the 10,000 step target, please don't take that figure as a 'target' as it is a very arbitrary number. Rather look to what is achievable for you and look to build on that gradually each week.
@@DynamicRunningFitness yep. 10,000 is the infinity symbol in Chinese. Used for marketing pedometers.
stress:modern living in 2020
me, a time traveller from 2023:oh you sweet summer child
:-)
i am walking every day from 2 weaks.
I lose 1000 calories a day.
Is brisk walk considered cardio ?
Yes it is.
100%
I walk 10 to 15 miles 5 days a week.. Not burning fat anymore
@Marcus Marcus no.. 5'3 160 pounds.. Still have a little bit of a gut.. I could probably lose another 20 pounds..
You can do some intervall training ( HIIT)
@@annamaria1972 I'm sure that would help.. But after working 10 hours a day.. And walking 10 to 15 miles while unloading trailers... Pulling and pushing carts full of Amazon packages... I'm short on energy to do HIIT.. I'm going to start doing rolling 72 hour fasts... Get down to about 140 then start eating normal again
@@carrejojorge Well Yes fasting is a great way of losing weight 👍
So I need to walk 3 miles to burn off one donut. Hmm.
Get yourself a dog and walk it four times a day. 12,000 steps guaranteed. Good for you, good for the dog.
But running builds better cardio, especially if you are playing competitive sport.
this video is aimed at people who are trying to improve their health and lose some fat, so they are less likely to be exercising for sports and endurance.
While u r saying all about walking what ur background say is 😂
Bottom Line: Stop eating crap!
Wise words. Sadly, the modern western diet has a lot to answer for.
Lolz.
Other words walking is better for weight loss
"Free" is an idiotic reason why "walking is good for weight loss". Air and grass are also free - does it mean they are good for weight loss?
Who put that door handle in? Too high.
??
Is that what you got from this
Sorry, I’m a carpenter. I notice stuff like that.
I can't unsee that now lol
