Walking 20 Thousand Steps a Day
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- In March of 2020 I walked 20 thousand steps a day for 31 days. I was able to still get this done during our stay at home order and ended up doing about 8 miles of walking every day (some days in our home walking around the house or in place), and burned about 2,70-3,000 calories a day (tracked using my Fitbit). 20,000 thousand steps a day benefits included: weight loss, better sleep, toned legs, and I felt happier at a time when there was a lot to be worried about.
In the video I share more about the benefits, my experience in walking 20 thousand steps a day for a month, and how I made it a game by setting rules for myself.
I found screenshots, photos and videos I took as I went too that include in this video!
I'm posting a walking tool video tomorrow- subscribe to get it!

Beginning December 1st, 2020 my major definite purpose is to wake up at 5am after a good night's rest to publish a video every day for 30 days.
My channel is all about planning to achieve goals. I'm sharing what I learn with you on how to set goals, create a plan, and successfully execute your plan. What are your goals for 2021?
My name is Jennifer Donogh - I'm a wife and mom of two boys. I love to cook healthy food, read romance novels, dance, walk, practice barre, paddleboard, watch comedies, and explore. I have clearly defined goals I'm working towards and want to stay accountable and have the opportunity to grow creatively by sharing my progress on my RUclips channel.
I show you how I tracked my steps here: ruclips.net/video/9Qa65xKIEgw/видео.html 📹🚶
Does walking that much burn belly fat?
That's a good question. You might like this article - www.healthline.com/nutrition/walking-for-weight-loss#TOC_TITLE_HDR_4
It mentions a study done on walking and waist circumference. It also mentions the difference in calorie expenditure between walking and running. I did a similar test on myself and found that too be true for me. Very interesting!
To save yourself time: she didn’t share her before and after metrics.
Im averaging 17k a day but I hit 22k a little over 10miles 2 -3 times a week. I started walking daily in June its december and i have lost 70 pound just from walking and cutting soda. I definitely recommend it.
That is SO AWESOME!!!
Way to go!
So encouraging. Thanks for your post
I eat a plant-exclusive diet and along with that and 20k steps a day, i lost 3 dress sizes in 6 weeks going from uk size 14 to uk size 8 US size 10 to US size 4
That’s roughly my goal Uk size 12-14 to a 10 in 6 weeks
Good luck. There is something you should know tho my 20k steps a day were done over 3 x 1 hour walks, not just a few steps here and there.
Fat is burned when we walk for at least 30 minutes at a time.
Anyone just doing 20k steps everyday a few at a time will not get the same result.
I walk 10k steps a day straight thru on the treadmill at 3.5 mph. I started 6 days ago and have already lost 5 lbs. I am 62, normally sedentary and 180 lbs to start. I want to be 130 again.
Wishing you the very best on your journey towards your goal!
Go girl! You’ll hit your goal!
You must be down to zero pounds by now 🤗
Not quite.

What is your weight now? 😊
Same here dear 😊 walking 15000 steps from 45 days loss of 15 kg
That's incredible!!
So how's ur journey going in covid
@@nikanu100 it has been better than most, thank you. Walking daily, but haven't met my high steps numbers since January of this year. Thank you for asking!
@@timeandtideplans I reached 45000 steps daily 2 times on Sunday and Wednesday and other days 20000 down 17 kg in 2 months love to walk
@@nikanu100 that's incredible!!
Very motivational video Jennifer! Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Thank you so much for this comment!! It was my pleasure to share 😊
The way you explain is beautiful and your voice is so sweet
Thank you for the nice comment!
Your working spirit got you a new sub :)
Im training for 100k steps in a day.
And love your vision on it
Thank you so much!!! WOW!! 100k in a day is amazing.
How was the 100k steps in a day?
@@jayden3759 it went surprisingly well, the first 60k went by very easy. after 70k the struggle started and the last 10k was brutal. The next day I couldn't really walk all that much anymore haha. It did help a lot that on the last part a friend joined me. It took me around 16 hours to complete.
@@MisterMotel any updates?
@@tete0032 updates on what? I did my 100k steps in 16 hours as described above :)
Thank you for this video, its a motivation I started walking in 2021 from 10k steps a day now I am doing 22k average daily
I do not weigh myself, I am using my clothes especially my jeans as a measure and they are almost all loose now and I am happy
I have completed more than 600 miles and still going for more
Thanks would love to walk 10 miles daily ie 16 km for the next 8 months and see what happens
Wow!! That’s incredible!! Thank you for the inspiration - I hope you reach your goal 🏆🏆
Not weighing for too long can be trap. I ended up 5 and half stone because I did that kind of exercise a day just went by my clothes. Ended up in hospital. Couldn't gain the weight fast enough. Don't worry too much at the start or get someone you trust to check it isnt too low.
@soniczforever5470 hi, l don't understand what are you saying! Did you end up in hospital from walking too much or losing too much weight in a short period of time
So cool, Jennifer! Love the story arc in this video. Great job! I might try something like this!! 😬😬😬😂
Thank you so much for noticing!! I was experimenting a bit 😬Can't wait to see what you do!!
Hello a year later.
Hi! 😄 So, I haven't done 20K steps in a day, but I'm doing a 5k tomorrow! Probably very slowly. This'll be the first 5K I've ever done without kids! No excuses this time on my time! 😅😂
That’s so awesome!! I want to start running again this year. I need to get my walking mileage and diet more consistent first. Good luck and have the best time 🥰
Fantastic. Great job! Very inspirational. I hit 20,000 two or three times a week.
That is awesome!!
@@timeandtideplans how are you doing now are you still walking or have you gotten back to walking after this video like you said it's gone downhill? I was walking so so much in Michigan. I moved back to New York in June and I think I might have hit 15,000 steps five or six times since July and over 20,000 only once currently I'm lucky I get $10,000 but I have started to gain weight and I'm not going to let it happen used to be 218 lb went down to 128 lb and I'm now somewhere around 148 lb. Going the wrong way but I don't know quite why. Been seeing dietitian lately again and trying very hard to keep myself active
Amazing. RUclips knows I'm trying to walk more and suggested this. 😆
How funny!! Walking is the best 🥰
Literally want to go walking right now to THAT song! That's the best motivation, thank you!
Thank you for the comment! I love some good walking music! 😍
In December, 2022 I challenged myself to walk at least 20K steps a day for a month. I was able to do it but wow, it takes a lot of time, often taking much of my evening after work on top of first thing in the morning and during lunch on the majority of days. On Dec 30 I walked 35K steps and on New Years Eve I wrapped it up with 40K steps; I loved finishing strong. I have never been overweight so I did lose weight I didn't need to lose but it was worth it for all the other benefits and I certainly would recommend it to anybody who has struggled with their weight as many in my family have. In the last 4 years I had ACL reconstruction and 2 herniated discs so I was at the point I needed to alter my exercise routine; walking is a good low-impact workout.
This is so inspiring! Absolutely - so many benefits to walking beyond the weight loss opportunities.
I just completed my 9th straight 20K day. This is much, much better for my 42 yo body than working out hard for one hour per day and then not much else. I haven't even been sore yet. Getting in at least 2500 steps before breakfast seems to help me start the day with momentum. I do 11 or 12K of my steps with no shoes, and the rest with minimalist shoes.
Thank you so much for sharing!! That’s a great tip - to get in that chunk of steps before breakfast! I agree- walking is so much better for my body too, and my mind!!
No shoes indoor or outdoor? I’m planning to get barefoot shoes as well. Which brand do you like?
@@lecahier No shoes indoor and outdoor! But at work, I gotta wear em. I don't really like any of the minimalist shoes. I bought a pair of Xeros last time, and I don't recommend them. Sorry to be of no help.
@@jamesj9744 I appreciate your reply! My doctor recommended barefoot shoes and I tried on Xero, merell, and vivo. None really felt right so I guess the search continues. I am also debating going completely barefoot somewhere clean outdoors just to start re-training my feet.
Your video was extremely helpful! Subscribed!
Thank you so much!!
@@timeandtideplans did walking 20k increase hunger and if so did you eat more and still lose weight? Or did you ignore hunger and ate no more than before
Thanks for the video!
The song at the end sealed the deal 🤣❤️
Yay!
Walking is all around amazing for everyone and many health reasons. I know its not as good as getting outside and actually walking, but I walk in place at my desk at work or if I am at home I use my treadmill with lap top mount or just march in place at home with my lap top on a shelf or something. I aim for 15k a day on my fitbit. I put my fitbit around my ankle so it can count the steps since my hands are typing on my computer. At first I was shy of what people in the office thought but I do not care any more. If its nice outside I will take my little kids on a walk with the baby in the stroller after work, Walking has been my old faithful when it comes to losing weight its the really the only thing I always stay consistent with.
Megan, thank you so much for this comment!! It means so much to me and hopefully others. How inspiring!! Having the attitude of "I do not care any more" is something I go in and out of, but really need to just embrace (especially when it comes to things like walking that are so good for me).
Thanks Jennifer
So inspiring!
Goood workkk more power to u i wish u coululd make a video for 25 thsnd steps a day i am tody trying 20 thsnd steps almost complted it right now while watching ur video
That is so awesome!! I have a video for planning 30k steps and completing it in a day on my channel.
Great video, subscribed.
Awesome, thank you so much!! 🤗
Ha. This just popped up in my feed. I was thinking about steps for the month and what I might need to organize for it to be a success :D Look forward to your 2024 12 week year :D
Yay! I love doing a steps challenge!! My plan is to do another one in March - I did one last year as well when we did a daily "fun" activity.
Great job
Thank you!
I usually walk 10k steps a day but I am going to walk about 20k to step it up a notch now that I am 50! 20k a day will help me feel better!
Happy 50!! That's so awesome - 10k is more than most people already. Wishing you the best on the uptick of steps ❤️
Ive realised if i walk to and from uni would be the perfect way to add 20 k steps to my day😅 Used to wake up to excercise before school but since i started uni i just havent had the motivation to get up and get ready twice (first for workout then for the day) so i just havent done it. Now i just need go get up earlier and just leave. So far its been good, i will do my best to keep it going. Lost a couple of kg so far but i think that its just been water weight so far so im excited for the real results
This is so awesome! It's silly, but I'm always amazed what simply waking more can do - AND - how relatively affordable and easy it is. I needed this reminder today. I'm working on upping my step count every day leading up to March.
After many years of running, I endured many injuries. I decided to just walk for the last two years. That's been working for me. Recently I noticed weight gain. I decided to up my steps per days, fasting and watch my calories. That the last week I have done 20k a day and noticed: more energy, loss weight, sleep longer and feel better. I want to do a full month. Normally I avg 300k-400k steps per month.
Excellent
You’ve inspired me. Just hope my feet can handle it.
The first few days are hard when it comes to tender feet and calves, but it gets better as you continue ❤️ good luck!
Thank you for the inspiration🌈🌈🌈
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for the kind comment.
Noticing i have been getting really tired. I wonder if I should increase the calories i am eating?
That's an interesting idea. Have you talked to a doctor?
@@timeandtideplans I have not.
inspirational.. I try 10,000/day at 73. it feels right
Awesome!!
Would it be better for me to start with 10K first? Or just go straight into 20K? I noticed a lot of times my desk job and throughout the day, I have around 3k steps.
One helpful activity I did last year was to track my time - I recorded in a day planner exactly what I was doing and how long it took all day. You would want to create a realistic goal. Some days 20k steps is just not possible for me based on what I need to accomplish in other areas of my life. If you record your time you can see where you have pockets during the day to get up and walk during work, if you have time in the morning and where you might be able to replace a stationary activity with an active one. Test it out for a week and then set your goal. I wanted mine challenging, but something I could realistically do. My least favorite feeling is not being able to finish something I start. Also- figure out how long it takes you to reach a certain step count and how fast you have to walk. I made another video about doing a 30k day and how I had worked out the math on all of it. I’ll link it here too ❤️
ruclips.net/video/SLCs0DHSs6o/видео.html - how I planned
I tried going from 3 k to 15 k steps and my knees and ankles got so sore that I completely stopped walking for a few months until it finally stopped hurting.
Now I do 500 steps every hour (6 minutes). It hurt a little bit at the end of the day for the first 3 days then improved from there.
Planning to add 30 min walks now that my body can handle the strain better. My goal is to get to 20k a day incorporating short and long walks
I am certain in the past I broke 20k on a day. But usually I get 10k-15kish.
Walking. It is our super power. We were built to move and not sit down. And it works.
Watching this while.walking
That is soooo awesome!!!!!
Doing it now!!!
That is SO awesome!!!! How are your feet, ankles and calves feeling?
@@timeandtideplans So far no issues. I like the game idea. I’m thinking of some now
how are you going now? I consistently do over 10k steps but I want tp get to 20k and sustain that.
I dont count my steps but I have been walking 10 hours a day. My feet hurt by the end of it but when I wake up they are fine.
That’s awesome!!
Not continuously right?
@@EileenHer It was. I am working now and can not do that anymore sadly.
@@FoereaperGaming 10 hours is very strenuous. Are your feet okay? And we’re you going anywhere on these walks?
@@EileenHer In a big loop around my neighborhood. They would hurt slightly until i went to sleep and woke up. I was laid off with nothing else to do. It was enjoyable though.
Can you share some info that you used for walking to keep you motivated Like videos ….
Absolutely! I'll do a better job of compiling, but here are a few I used before I started: - ruclips.net/video/CqnnsxYk8bE/видео.html&t (Autumn Bates has a few videos that reinforce the idea that walking is good for you and effective) - I set a Google alert for walking studies and articles that came out that again reinforced the idea that I could use it as a tool - ruclips.net/user/walkathomemedia my kids crack up at her "walk walk walk walk" - This channel was my favorite ruclips.net/channel/UC3wm6Rex4kcvOVpqxNHeAqg (anything that made getting in extra steps especially indoors was an awesome resource to start with) - look up "walking for weight loss transformation" videos on RUclips (this was a good one to get me excited - also look up blog posts) ** Hope this helps! **
I want to walk like 10k in the morning and then walk again for another 10k in the afternoon, what do you think?
Awesome! It depends on your current physical fitness, mental attitude, and schedule. You'll have to judge for yourself. I made a video on how I planned out extra steps here: ruclips.net/video/SLCs0DHSs6o/видео.html You might find it helpful. To me, the most important thing was setting myself up for success and I break that down in that video. Keep me updated on if you do it or not!
20k is a lot to walk in a day, I find 15k a day to be a bit too much for me time-wise. I can walk 20k a day, it just takes up too much of my time and I can't keep it up in the long run so I have settled for around 12k a day which seems to be doable without spending all my free time walking.
A smart goal! Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound - what you’ve committed yourself to sounds perfect 🙌🙌
20k tends to be about 3.5 hours of walking
I'm starting my journey today. My goal is to get 25,000 steps today
That’s so awesome!! Enjoy your journey ❤️
How did it go🚶♀️?
@@jayden3759 it went well. It was like 90° so I had to keep taking breaks. I think it works best if I do it in three sessions.
Great! Did you do it at one go or throughout the day? And how many hours did it take? Cuz I'm doing 10k daily in 1hr 30.
I made a video on how I planned out a day of 30k steps here: ruclips.net/video/SLCs0DHSs6o/видео.html you might enjoy - I go through my math on how long it would take me. 10k in 1 hr 30 is awesome!!! I LOVE a long walk, especially when it's outside. My 20k/day in 2020 varied each day. Some days I did a little all day long. Other days I was lazy all morning and had to pump out the steps in bigger chunks in the afternoon/evening.
Sold
I did 7000 steps in the last four days cuase I'm 240 lbs. I want to get down to 190.
Wow!!!! That is incredible!!!!
Keep it up before long 20,000 will be doable good luck 👍
@@jayden3759 kind of fell off this month has to move and now where I live there's like
No real private place to do it....
I'm older 51 so you know it's not advisable walking in the public. Have to find a more private place to walk, can't go to a gym cause I'll pick up beef with everyone there....lloll...
So? I may walk at night on the beach in Miami beach on the sand.....
20,000 ft divided by 5500 feet would be 4 miles.
@@timeandtideplans it's harder at 51 but I think there isn't weight loss till 30,000 steps.
Hello i have a question you did 25k in one go or in section like some steps in morning some at night plz reply
That's a great question! It varied day by day. Some days I wouldn't start working towards my steps until the afternoon and I would be going until midnight. Others would be an hour walk in the morning, one at lunch, and one after dinner while being mindful of being active in my every day activities. I have a video on how I planned out a 30k video. Doing the math ahead of time will save you a lot of stress in getting your numbers in. It's here ruclips.net/video/SLCs0DHSs6o/видео.html - I hope you find it helpful!
@@timeandtideplans thanks♥♥
Good diet tipe friend
How did you think Covid was going to get you outside alone on a walk?
I planned this in February 2020. Our state locked down mid-March 2020. I lived in a rural area. If you watched my video and the pictures I shared it’s just me outside. I felt weird towards the end of March not because I was around people, but because I was self-conscious of my neighbors thinking I was irresponsible looking outside their windows. I was never near anyone outside of our house and outside soaking up some vitamin D, and ensuring my mental fitness was strong to help my family through everything ❤️❤️
@@timeandtideplans that was my point - you said you felt bad being outside and walked in your house, but you were in no danger of Covid outside alone. If your neighbors judged you, then it's because they lost the ability to think rationally. But I do get that! Thanks for clarifying. Enjoyed your video.
@@TracieClaiborne thank you! I agree 😉
I did a hour a day walking it's supposed to be for 30 days next Sunday will be my 30-day. I haven't lost a pound it just kept me at the same weight. Now I'm going to try to 20000 steps a day see how that works.
Do what works for you -- I have another video where I did a challenge over 48 hours and tracked my calorie output, steps, mileage, and time depending on where and how I walked. It was eye opening ruclips.net/video/kIwemLSvdAs/видео.html I had so much fun tracking everything and treating my walking as an experiment of one. Wishing you the very best in your steps!!
One hour of walking is only like 6000-7000 steps for most people. That’s enough to promote good health, but not enough for weight loss, especially if your diet isn’t in check.
@@joshtuk yeah true
I like your video..
You did walk on time or different... like 10000 in morning other 10000 in night... then you just do on 1 time 20000 steps means 3 hrs continue walk? Its true?
Thank you!! I would walk about 8,000 outside in the morning and another 4-6,000 in the late afternoon with the rest of my steps done being active around my house or doing "steps" indoors to music or to a RUclips video. This was done throughout the day, which was important to me.
Can you please tell me.
Cause i am walking 35k steps a day should i do it at once time or it a challenge for whole day.
Now i am doing like 10k at morning and 25k at evening
Wow, that's a lot of steps every day! I have a video on how I planned my day of 30,000 steps, but that was just me ruclips.net/video/SLCs0DHSs6o/видео.html You'll have to figure out what works best for you.
Great video
Gave thumbs up and subscribed.
I did 20K yesterday but I find it better to break it up instead of walking -let us say 6 miles straight.
That's so awesome!! I agree. My goal was and still is to be naturally more active throughout the day than trying to get it all in at once.
Walking is amazing for health and weight loss the secret is you need to raise your heart rate get the lungs 🫁 working walk at a brisk pace and use inclines start with 10,000 steps a day aim for 20,000 a day once you get used to the 10,000
Wow awesome!🙌🏻 how much weight/ dress size did you lose?
Once you started the artist way??
My 20k/day challenge was in March of 2020 - I started Artist's Way July 2020.
Hai, I somehow need to bind a goal to my steps. Where do i go to. I find it difficult to walk just because of walking and loose 2 hours a day doing this. Would love a kind of direction/ goal or benefit to the steps. I live in a bussy centre of the city. Do you have goals or how do you help yourself keeping motivated..???
Thank you so much for bringing this up -- we moved onto a boat and travel a lot now. I'm finding it much harder to get in steps or just activity being in a small space, etc. I'd really love to tackle the idea of how to stay motivated. My goal for the walking period in this video was to improve my health, primarily through weight loss and overall wellbeing. Last year my walking goals was more about stress relief. We were moving and walking an hour in the morning and after dinner allowed me the space to think. When I was most successful with sticking to walking I gamified it. I used Fitbit, shared my results on Instagram to keep me accountable, and tracked my steps in my planner each day. I want to explore this idea in the next month - thank you so much for the comment. I wish you the best in finding the time to walk (if that's something you really want to do)!
@@timeandtideplans Thanks !
That calorie count is way off, 20k steps burns about 1000 to 1200 calories unless you weigh like 300lbs
I am 65 I used to walk 10,000. Since Covid I barely walk. Except grocery shopping. I don’t know how to motivate myself. What RUclips do you watch to walk 20k. Pls help. I want to improve my health. Thank you❤
10k done consistently is so many steps! I used to watch any and all vlogs of people living their lives getting in their steps. My favorite was with a man who walked around a Walmart at night, or similar store, when it was raining outside. I thought that was inspiring. Wishing you the very best in your pursuit of better health!
0:23 I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed I didn't hear the dudes singing in the background
🏃♀️ me too 10km daily
That is so awesome!!
I need to loose 30kgs in 2 months. How much should I walk?
That's up to you and a qualified trainer/nutritionist to work out. My 20k mark was based on what was realistic, but still a challenge for me to do. I used my Fitbit as I went on to see data on how many calories I burned depending on the type of steps I was doing. I found that walking 10k steps at home versus up and down stairs at the park demanded a different level of energy from my body.
That’s too much weight to lose in too short a time period. It’s really bad for you and it will likely all come back. Better to do it slowly and not need to continue losing the same kilos over and over again. If you have doubled your step count and don’t overeat to compensate you will lose weight. Good luck.
@@kimberlypaniagua6411 a great reminder to work with a qualified trainer/nutritionist if weight loss is your goal 💪
I’m at 10 miles a day too!! Are you still doing this? It has changed my life and your body gets used to it. But I do have blisters right now, so if anyone has any tips on that, I’m all ears:)
That is SO awesome!!! 10 miles! I have not been consistent over the years, but 20k days are magical. My blisters just healed over from a few weeks ago - I don’t often get them! This was from wearing different socks of all things. Maybe someone else has some anti-blister advice for you.
I would say get moleskin for the blisters but also higher socks help too
Try walking on grass or rubberized track, it's much easier on your joints and feet. You walk this much on concrete for years and you'll need new hips or knees eventually
what about the blisters i hate em
Ouch! I didn’t have to deal with blisters - probably since my shoes were so old and worn in! I also walked a lot indoors around the house with no shoes on.
That anti-chafing stuff for runners works well on feet too.
I already walk an average of 15k steps a day every single day
You must have walked around the world by now
@@SnoopyReads lol you are quite funny 😆
Hi there, what was your walking pace? I have been walking for two years now, except when winter comes like the motivation to want to do any kind of excersice is gone, buuuut when I do walk, I walk at a somewhat fast pace, and I start getting calluses on my big toe, was your walking pace, well of course more than like a "browsing" walk.
This video shows more of what my walks were like around our old neighborhood with stats ruclips.net/video/kIwemLSvdAs/видео.html - my feet were fine after awhile, with some calluses.
Ur 20000 steps is 2700 calories and my 20000 is just over 1300 calories. And I weigh 100kg. What is wrong?
Good question. How are you measuring your calorie output? How many calories do you burn with little to no activity? What’s the difference between no activity and 20,000 steps? My personal no activity calorie burn is around 1,400 calories according to my Fitbit. My calorie burn for 20k steps varied by a couple hundred depending on if I was walking up hills outdoors or walking in place at my home. I used Fitbit to monitor my calories, steps, mileage, etc.
A lot of people think Fitbit grossly over-estimates calorie burn because they don't realize it includes everything in the daily calorie burn, not just exercise. I've read posts by people who say things like, "I just woke up and my Fitbit says I've already burned 800 calories today. What a joke!" Or something like that, because they didn't realize Fitbit tracks calories burned just by being alive! Anyways, 1300 calories burned for 20k steps sounds about right for someone who weighs 100kg, just for the exercise part. You should easily be burning 3000+ calories a day with the exercise combined with other typical expenditures, up to and including your heart pumping, lungs working, etc. 😅
@@victoriarose4506 thank you for taking the time to share! I had so much fun tracking my Fitbit during 4x4x48. I would note the different calorie expenditure of each walk based on the terrain and time of day. The body is so cool.
Everybody burns calories differently it all depends on height weight heart rate etc
Wow, so awesome! I’m working my way back up to 10k a day and feel like that’s a lot some days. 🙃
You’re so lucky to live in beautiful WA state! I lived in Seattle for 15 years and loved it sooooo much! It’s a gorgeous place and perfect for walking year-round (even in the rain). I never walked as much as I did when I lived there.
10k is a lot!! I agree - I feel very lucky to live somewhere with clean air, moderate temps, and beautiful views while I’m out and about.
Wishing you the best in reaching your goals 🙌
@@timeandtideplans Thank you so much - you, too!
How long did it take to walk to 20 k each day ?
2 miles outside for me is about 4,000 steps. I can do 2 miles walking with elevation change in about 30 minutes. I have a planning video on my walking time cheat sheet ruclips.net/video/SLCs0DHSs6o/видео.html 10 minutes walking in place in doors gives me just over 1,000. Knowing how long it takes to get those steps in is so important if you have a step goal. For example, my assumption at the time was that I was way more active at work than I actually was. That was a wake up call when it came to my time management. Having some form of pedometer whether it’s on a watch or just something you clip on you as you walk is such a helpful tool as you go about your day. I really enjoy collecting data on myself and having sun with those numbers 🥰
It's between 2 and half to 3 hrs to do 20k steps but it also depends how fast you walk of course but average I'd say 3hrs
So how much weight you lost ?
1 pound a week consistently- If I did this again I would have paid more attention to what I ate as well for better results.
Thanks frm india
It's my pleasure!
My goal is 40, 000 steps 6 days a week
Wow! That's a lot of time to think to yourself white getting in your steps, unless you work an active job.
@@timeandtideplans I do work an active job. I work at a shoe department store in the mall
I'm doing 20k a day for the whole summer
Smart! The extra daylight and (depending on where you are) better weather would be so helpful.
Not going to read all the other replies, but my take away from walking a lot is, a, if you can't do it you are mentally weak, b, doing it for weight loss not going to work, c, calorie counters on step trackers are way off, d, all the things she talks about facetime etc, you are on a stroll, not a walk, a walk is 4 to 4.5 mph
Look more beautiful 😘❤️
If you are near a mall, walk around. Time will go by quickly.
Best idea!
Soooo you're saying that exercising made you more hungry. Ugh.
Right? It did and it didn't. I don't know if I was physically hungry, or it was a mental thing. Maybe seeing when some days I burned 3,000 calories I thought somewhere in my subconscious I can eat a lot more.
20k steps is only 1000 calories...where did you get those numbers from?
A person expends calories by just being alive - I burn 1600 calories a day "at rest" - that means sitting most of the day, sleeping, etc. You would then add on your "active calories" to that total, so for example the 1000 you mentioned, giving you a daily calorie burn of 2,600. On top of my "at rest" calories, my "active calories" vary depending on the activity I'm engaged in. Walking calories vary depending on incline and speed I'm walking at. The numbers are real 🤷♀️ Hope that helps.
@@timeandtideplans ah ok, but the way you phrased it in the video makes it seem like that was purely from walking. All good.
Well done on the walking, i do 20k a day :)
@@brandsecrets2022 noted - thank you! Awesome on the 20k - it’s a commitment 🙌💪
That "making it up" is NOT a good idea.
10k steps a day is plenty, and it's basically been proven that anything beyond that is not all that beneficial.
It doesn't hurt you tho, this is the key to quick weight loss. You literally burn an extra 7,000 calories a week. That's 2 pounds of fat, even if you don't change your diet
Wrong again, it is so much about your shoes, bad shoes equal painful feet,
20000 steps a day is about 10-14 km. You are short person so rather 10km. It gives us 6miles a day and 600-700ccal. Conclusion: False in first minute of film.
20,000 steps a day worked out to typically 8+ miles a day for me and 2,800 calories burned for the day 🕺 brisk walking + my usual calorie burn of just being a person confirms that number my friend.
Interesting math here, but I think her math/fitbit gives a better answer than you guessing math. Also I went 30k steps today and it was 12 miles and it isn’t the end of the day and I’m already at 2,800 calories burned (for the day total not just from walking)...so once again interesting math sir.
@@MsKassandraKotaku that's awesome!!
I think you are correct if you count only the steps calories. That’s what my app is estimating for my 20,000. However maybe her watch is super fancy and counts everything she does? Like the calories she burns just to be alive together with the steps?
@@MsKassandraKotaku There is no watch in the world that can accurately predict calories burned. It's nothing but an algorithm based on steps and heart rate. Steps on fitbits are calculated by an average stride, to which you'd have to adjust up or down depending on your own. Heart rates factors are irrelevant because the watch doesn't know if you're walking, jogging, running, and what your cardiovascular health is. The fitbit doesn't know your metabolism or your diet. It's absurd to rely on a watch or even a generic formula to know how many calories you've been. The reality is, there is no truly accurate way of knowing. It's a very loose estimation and can be vary as much as hundreds calories.
