I have tried previous wheezywaiter deals.. they never work on the UK sites though. Sigh.
I walk 30-55k a day and I dont lose weight but it definitely has helped me trim up from when I used to drink
Tho to be fair I also eat like a swimmer (which I used to be) so I fo eat like 3000 calories a day lol

Try too add Bursts of Running and several reasonably steep Hills to the Route if at all Possible.
A lot of Sweetners (not all!) can cause the body to expect carbs and if they don't receive enough will trigger the body too keep the ones you have (fat!) and use instead the stored ATP and Glucose in muscles.
*Not saying too cut out all Sugar/Surcose but too limit it too between a 1/2 to a 1/3 of RDI.
A great Sweetner is pure Allulose (100% Allulose) than mix with 20 to 30% Inulin Fibre(by weight!), you can also add Monk Fruit for the Antioxidants and extra Sweetness which I normally dont.
Also add Phsyllium Husk to foods to help boost full feeling which I really Struggle with daily.
*also more Wholemeal Alternatives to pastas and breads, With Seeds if you can buy or bake.
*Replace some White Rice with some Brown.
*Add Inulin to Drinks even plain water.
Also I take Q Enzyme, Omega and Creatine too boost energy.
It's a real watershed moment you realize it's not "I don't have time to do X thing" and instead it's "I'm not making X thing a priority right now". Forced me to really confront my priorities and, counter intuitively, stop feeling guilty about the things I wasn't doing. When I realized I was deliberately not prioritizing the thing I wasn't doing somehow it made me feel more comfortable about not doing it, as opposed to feeling like "Gah! I should be doing this thing but I'm just soooo busy!"
I think one thing is how you shift your responsibilities from external occurences "ohh im sooo busy with x y and z and only if they weren't there THEN I would go off" to a more personal way "I am the problem here, I don't make it a priority, I am at fault" Your locus of control shifts internally, making you feel *more in control* of the situation, good or bad and thus you feel like you can change it.
Sorry I spent 15 hours a week commuting and don't have enough money but I guess that's just a prioritization of survival
I just don't have time to realise that right now, but tomorrow's gonna be different. You can count on it!
I used to be a mail man and would walk 20-30k steps a day. Its hard to imagine doing something like this everyday that isn't required for work. Thats a lot of time to walk around everyday for ~15miles
Im just Have to put it here - you are the one of the few most original, most entertaining content creator that YT will ever get
Facts💯
fr I get so excited when Wheezy drops a video
Indeed! Watching Wheezy always reminds myself why I started loving to watch videos on RUclips 15 or 20 years ago. Although his content may have changed throughout the years, it still has a vibe that I love and enjoy watching, from back in the old days.
TRUEEEE
I really appreciate that with all the talk of wind, you didn't let me down, and threw in a fart joke. Thank you.

In regards to the non-weight loss, you are actually pretty spot on why you didn't lose extra weight on 30k. Your body does want to maintain homeostasis to some degree and eventually if you increase your output too much, your body will compensation via lower energy elsewhere (higher hunger, lazier motion, lower brain usage). This can vary wildly person to person, in both directions. Its why some people never gain weight (their energy burn shoots up, hunger plummets) and why others struggle with weight loss (their energy plummets and hunger skyrockets). Most people are in the middle of course.
Influencers who tell you they know the formula to all of this are lying, its automatic and highly individual and only very early on in terms of research. In Craig's case, we don't know if the extra steps triggered the compensation or his already lower starting weight, or some combo of that (and tons of other factors).
I wanted to comment this but it wasn't posted today so I thought there was no point. I'm glad someone else commented it though.
He is such a positive person. I would be SO MAD if I did this challenge and didn’t lose any weight or feel healthier afterwards.
Also he didn't change his diet and he had already lost 'excess' weight from past challenges.
Without monitoring before and after body fat percentage which he didn't monitor, we have no idea what impact it had
Your 500 miles parody was 🔥
What this video proves is that many of us in your audience need closure. We won’t allow you to do a 30-day challenge and wrap it up with a “meh.” Thank you for the summary, for the closure, and, as always, thank you Nathan Wells.
Got a genuine lol out of me with the "is your kid named Adolf" question.
Mine was the jet pack take-off. OMG
I'm struggling doing 10,000 steps a day, You're a champ!
you'll get used to it, I am a driver for work and I do 15k everyday, but I enjoy walking though, its helped me lose 100 pounds on top of that as well
Me, too! It's way too hot out and I don't live in the safest area. Thinking I might just start going to Walmart to walk
10,000 steps is WAY more than my step goal. But we’re both crushing it!!! Everyone is different!
@@BrandyManuel Go to malls maybe?
You can do it, I'm lucky enough to have ADHD and ASD so I love to walk and pace lol so I get 30-55k a day but I'm definitely an anomaly, I get anxious when I'm not moving lol
I love Craig's green guitar and his loyalty to it over the years
It's a part of the Benzine family!
I would love to see challenges that make Chyna's life easier :) Like a gastroni-meh series or meal prep? It seemed like 30k steps just meant less time with family and friends
It's obvious you need tons of free time and/or sacrificing other aspects of your life to do 30k steps a day.
Just sharing info. I went to see a postural physiotherapist because I was constantly aching while running. Turns out, I had ruined my running shoes by using them also for walking and I don't walk the same way I run so the whole shoe wasn't doing its job properly anymore. I changed shoes and my knees haven't hurt in a year now.
So bear that in mind, if running suddenly hurts, maybe you messed your shoes.
We had a couple geese and chickens growing up, the geese were there to protect the chickens and they did their job very well. The chickens were completely free, they had a coop but we never closed them in at night. Never lost a chicken to predators. Geese are fierce!
I had a friend who learned the hard way, I told him not to mess with the geese, but he thought it would be fun, as you can imagine it ended with him running as the goose repeatedly pecked him on the butt. 😅
We have bears here. They eat geese too.
@@michaelanderson2166 If this is a new game of rock paper scissors, well bear beats geese for sure. 😅
I don't think we had anything worse than coyotes, but the geese are loud that's there main power against the predators where we were.
Would love to see an update from your year of no alcohol challenge. Do you guys stick to the post challenge rules? Has habits changed? And other questions my brain can't seem to remember right now.
Love your videos! I'm not surprised that you didn't notice any major benefits with increasing to 30,000 steps a day. Seems surprising, but "10,000 steps a day" was chosen arbitrarily, mostly as a marketing thing, and your instinct to say "I dunno, get between 5,000 and 12,000 steps a day" is actually right! This has been studied thoroughly, and for most people, getting between 6,000 and 8,000 steps a day is ideal and more than that doesn't seem to have any long-term health benefits.
Try putting a backpack or rucksack and go up and down hills and use minimalist shoes. You’ll see way more benefits than a paltry 8,000 steps, which is basically enough to keep your body from totally wasting away. It’s not optimal, it’s minimal.
In my most WheezyWaiter-styled way, different steps for different Depps.
@@ZealoustranceTube love it 😉
Nope he just needs to make variations in exercise. can't spam walking always . Add some jog run sprints , and other days abs n stuff . yknow what I mean
Right. There is definitely a point of diminishing returns when it comes to the health benefits.
Whenever I turn into a sedentary pig, I start walking at least 10k steps per day and within days it cures my depression, lack of motivation, stomach issues, brain fog, random body pains etc. I guess if you are already active and don't spend your whole day in from of computers, you won't see huge results. I would have loved to see your blood pressure improvements because high blood pressure often does not give you any symptoms until it's too late.
Wish that worked for me too. I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle (computer programmer) but whenever I try to fix it wit things like walking, that just starts taking all my attention and energy.
My new resolution is at least 30 min of inline skating per day since it’s the only form of exercise that I enjoy. But it turns into 1-2h per day in several sessions with a ton of time in between them spent catching my breath again. And those 1-2h take up a large chunk of my day. And I don’t feel better or more energized, and my sleep is worse - but I’m sticking to it because I kinda have to exercise, and I hope eventually it’ll start feeling like a positive thing.
You can make a chapter a day and short story a day! Videoa you write are a testament to your ability to write!! You can dooo it!
As a Canadian, the goose always wins.
Back in October I managed to average 20k for the month. It completely changed my baseline activity level. Getting 30k every day is wild. It takes so long to get sometimes.
The main reason I walk as much as I do is because of the improved sleep. If you find yourself having difficulty falling asleep (I had for most of my life), just increasing physical activity can solve the problem. My clock was closer to 30 hours than 24 and exercise can nearly fix that.
I think the thing about walking or exercising in extreme amounts, is that people overdo it to a point where it don't fit into their everyday routine - so if drains them mentally and physically during the challenge, and after, they revert completely. :)
What you want to do, is to look at what you are doing right now. And find ways to increase that to a realistic point. Preferably in a way that feels effortless. For me, my 'baseline' was 5.000 steps a day. So I chose to walk 30 minutes to the bus, instead of 15 minutes like I had been doing. (each way) Since it was only 15 extra minutes, it didn't feel like that much of an extra effort - but it is enough that I now reach 7.500 steps a day. Sometimes more, because the goal I have is realistic and 'effortless' - so it feels 'easy' to walk a little extra. Because it is something you want to do, and praise yourself for doing that extra - instead of punishing yourself for not reading an unrealistic goal.
Had I gone from 0 minutes to 30 minutes, it would have felt much more difficult, because the extra time spent would feel like a lot compared to what I was used to. So finding your baseline, and then increasing it little by little, that is how you build a habit. :) (though a challenge is super fun to watch)
I realise in my comment you featured (woo! famous!) I didn't say how much I enjoyed the original video - it was a great watch regardless! Definitely needed the time to reflect before doing the summary :)
I became a big walker in 2020 and now I look forward to capping off my workday with it. Nice way to switch gears and get my heart rate up. I recently ran a half marathon which I trained a lot for. It was awesome and as soon as it was over I stopped running completely. I just don't love it. It was a challenge and now that's over. I still walk every day though!
Any movement is good movement! No need to run if you’re not as into it
*Ocular ocean* might be my new fav phrase. 👁
Totally using that someday! Lol
I was once told:"You always have time to do [x], you just choose to prioritise other things." Like family, social life etc 🙂
Honestly, will the breaking wind joke finally be the thing that reminds me that taking breaks really will give me a second wind? If anything can, it is this.
Thank you for the laughs...REALLY needed it today!!
XD!!! Adolf, I died, and had to rewind the vid to relisten... I really heard ADOLF... then looking af your mouth "ADA OFF"
Here in Sweden, our previous king was called Gustaf VI Adolf.
" a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step!."
WheezeyWaiter - "challenge accepted!"
I go for walks barefoot because it lets you use your feet muscles how you're supposed to, and if you don't like walking outside barefoot then I would only ever recommend vivo barefoot shoes, to this day I don't regret getting them and they are probably the closest things you'll get to being barefoot besides sandals. Please check them out, others have made videos on them if you're interested.
I was just thinking that I'd like to see craig try barefoot shoes for a while. the only shoes I buy these days are vivos.
I really want to wear more barefoot shoes because they feel amazing but they look so stupid. I wish I didn’t care as much about how they look but I do. Even the “normal” looking ones have a comically wide toe box.
Life’s short. Wear the shoes!!!
This! i was scrolling comments with this suggestion in mind! ❤ it's interesting to see what Craig, as an expirienced runner/walker, thinks of barefoot shoes
I used to have to walk 30k steps or about 15 miles to work a day because of transportation problems. I won't say I loved it, but I have to admit that i was in some of the best shape physically of my life. Got so that I could do it in about 3 hours. Only real trouble I had was when it rained, and cars would drive by hit a puddle and spray me. This happen a couple of times and I never really could get my head wrapped around that

sorry i couldn't stop myself
My cat very much hated that part of the video.
@@lc6428 yeah he was a bit out of tempo, your cat is probably a pur(r)ist
I did a step challenge that maxed out at 30,000 steps. Even while running 15 miles a week and going for fast walks multiple times everyday, I never hit the 30,000 until I did a 10+ mile hike. That is to say, 30,000 steps while working full time, you really won’t have the time without a treadmill desk.
This is PRIME RUclips content. You are killing it my dude.
I've been buying ASICS Gel-Kayano running shoes ever since I went in to my local sports shop and had a fitting, 20 years ago!
Glad the internet spoke up!!!
The goose threat is real and we should talk more about it
This is the first time I’ve asked a question on a video and got a really in depth and satisfying answer!! Unexpected but much appreciated (I really was curious) and many thanks! 👍👍🌷🌷
I'm glad you discussed this because my impression of the 30,000 Steps Challenge was that you were pushing yourself past what was beneficial. I recently discovered the second wind in myself, so I feel better about pushing through a challenge - after a rest.
I did this for 5 weeks last summer while hiking the colorado trail! 500 miles through the high rockies, best experience of my life! My biggest day was 23 miles, shook out to 58,000 steps... 90,000 feet of elevation climb (total)!
most health conditions improved by regular walking are chronic health conditions that accumulate and affect you later in life. in addition to your weight lifting youre going to enjoy a lot more health later in life compared to people that don't do these things at the same age
Finally subscribed after watching you for years on Beer and Board Games. Glad I did!
WOWWWWW THE EAGLE PUNCH. man that is a throwback joke. crash course was awesome!
Just want you to know that was some top notch editing. After watching these I’m confident that 30,000 steps isn’t for me, but I do enjoy a cold shower and I do exercise daily for 20 to 30 minutes. I bet there is someone out there who could benefit from 30,000 steps.
What a funny dude. Thanks for being funny, publicly
You are on fire with the jokes in this one. I love the honest meh result feedback. 😂
Bro, you actually made me laugh...many times
I sincerely appreciate your videos, I chuckled audibly several times (which rarely happens for me with video content). Thank you!
Thanks so much! I thought I just didn't listen well enough
Such a small world. I randomly came across your 30,000 steps a day video and while watching it saw you mention Blame Society, I was the Dog Trainer and animal handler for one of the Chad Vader episodes. I thought I wonder if this funny and interesting guy lives in the same city I do? When you were walking to meet with them I saw the restaurant in the background and thought - huh…We actually probably live really close to each other! I’m enjoying your Content and if your family ever needs help with your dog you now know a local certified trainer who lives near you 😊
Proclaimers! Love it. And love what you are doing on RUclips. So fun.
I loved that little editing trick for "you get what I'm saying" I think I know what you did, but could you share ?
love the evidence!!!!!!!!!! keep it up man inspiration
Shout out to the hitchhikers guide reference.
I enjoy your humor! Thank you! It helps me mental health-wise. (smiley face!)
Have you done a video on the 30-day stuff you decided to maintain beyond 30 days, or resumed later because you realized the benefit after quitting?
I don't know why the Will Power joke made me laugh so much 😂😂😂
“Lookit that ocular ocean. Did I just see a dolphin in there?” 😂 I hope you don’t mind if I use that, Craig.
I enjoyed this video, and now intend to have a good day and a good life and keep myself regular via fiber intake
Hooray for original Craig style and new Craig content!!!! Now where's the alligator pit?
I just got back from a big hiking trip, averaged about 20k steps a day for 5 days. That was a good trek, but I’ve settled back to my baseline 10k/day pretty much immediately. 🤷♀️
Thank you again, Nathan Wells 🙌
You are hilarious and that is why I watch you videos!
I have Asics too !
which walking desk thingy did you go with?
your videos NEVER FAIL to cheer me up! Keep on doing what you're doing because you are GREAT at it!
Is it easy to acclimate to the desk treadmill? I want to buy one but I am an uncoordinated human and need to type a lot.
Thank you Nathan Wells
Thank you, Nathan Wells
Good job Craig 🎉 watching since 2007
A large problem is 1 month is a very short timeframe when discussing bodily change. Even basic acclimation to exercise for the body is around 3 months. This is how long it takes to get used to an external stress. For short terms like 1 month, this is where you see a lot of HIIT and aggressive calorie cut dieting are king. They make extreme use of this short duration. But if you're not doing extreme stuff in that short duration, you're not really going to see significant change. Change always happens, but the amount of change will scale by intensity. And even high intensity might not show significant results for quite a while, and months.
It's enough to build a habit
Thanks for the recommendation to watch the last video, it all makes sense now
I think its more about - how are u walking and how much effort u will put in it. Cuz walking slowly on a threadmill is good anyway, but wont do anything for the "loosing weight" part if it slow or just a 0% incline. There was a study that showed that walking under 5km per hour will do something for you...but walking just 6 or 7 will do waaaaaaay waay more. But anyway believe me, it did more benefits to you that you think :DD
thanks
I didn’t mention it on that other video, so I’m glad others did. I figured it was just me who didn’t feel like the conclusion was conclusiony. Thanks for answering our inquiring minds!
I think you're absolutely right about working out or walking too much! It does makes you hungrier. I found that the more I worked out I was starving. You need to dial it back a bit and find the right balance. Absolutely! Hey if you shave your beard + mustache off , I think you'd lose about five pounds.
As someone from the desert I sure envy you @wheezywaiter. I chose poorly and live near Vegas(I'm a pool boy, man). Walking anywhere from June-September isn't feasible for me. I've been invited by my old Auntie a few times to go walk with the silver sneakers at the mall though and that's okish, but 43 isn't quite old enough.
I’m in my 30s and I mall walk. Life’s short, mall walk whenever
Oh! Im absolutely going to try moving shoes to get new walking shoes. I live about 15 minutes away. I've been doing stepbet challenges for a year now. Yearly average was 2k when I started, and now it's 11k! My step goals are getting up there, and my feet are starting to hurt. Thank you for the suggestion!
PowerStep Inserts are the best!
@jillsarah7356 Thank you for the suggestion!
I've been thinking about getting an under desk treadmill, it sounds like that part stuck with you after the challenge - would you recommend it? And also, what brand did you get?
i am lucky to live in a place where i can take the bus pretty much everywhere i need to go and i spend a lot of my time walking. i think that walking as a part of my work commute is very very good for my mental ++ i can't imagine having to drive to work and sit in traffic every day twice a day.
My favourite yt channel. ❤
What kind of treadmill desk did you get?
In Canada “Canadian Geese” are referred to as “Cobra Chickens” for good reason.

I can't remember where I was listening about it, but willpower is physically something you can build up. As in theres an areas of the brain called the prefrontal cortex which seems to show growth when doing difficult tasks and pushing yourself. Sooo, your willpower has probably grown with all these challenges.
Do you think you carry out these challeneges easier than when you started?
There is a point of diminishing returns to most activities.
For instance: as a Type II, if my blood sugar goes too high, exercise helps.
Well, I'm older American (okay, Boomer), so I was inculcated from early spawning that if some is good, more is better. Fine, I'll leave the references to super models aside.
However, a little bit of exercise can bring my blood sugars down, BUT - it's not that big a but; old man butt erosion - even more exercise does not correspondingly bring my blood sugar down even more. No. Rather annoyingly, it actually has the opposite affect.
So, some may be good; more may be better, but a lot more may actually be detrimental.
And 10 miles is a long way unless you've got something to prove. I don't, so I walk about 4.5 - 5.5 miles a couple of times a week. I'm no longer married, so I don't feel the need to be out of the house all that much.

i love every single little joke here!
Those puns hit really hard.
Only thing is didn’t see the point of the challenge but I’m glad you are doing a follow up video
Oh Craig, this video was so much better than the video. What a save with the 42😅
You have time but also dont work a 9-5. Still, props for always sticking to your goals!
You should talk to smosh about being on thei flashback show, you'd give a super interesting perspective with your youtube run through the years!
You Sir, are very entertaining.
I'm considering attempting this in July. Considering.
Hysterical!
Thank you, I am having a pretty good day, and I AM getting fiber. Hooray!
Funny enough I did this for may but tried to average 33k steps to reach 1 million in a month. I managed to get 1,033,053 steps. So I found this video VERY relatable. Some days were effortless, some sucked, and it just seemed completely arbitrary. Before the challenge I was averaging about 14k a day, so I was over doubling my activity. I lost 10 pounds, which is neat, but there's a LOT easier ways to do that. The last quarter of the month was honestly the hardest, I just wanted it to be over so bad LOL.
But yeah, 1 million steps! Will I ever do it again? NOPE.
The intro song really made me smile! 😊
THE HATCH IS BACK!!! I wonder if the alligator pit is under construction or nah?
