- Losing weight is hard. It requires work and it usually takes longer than we want. That's why it's easy to give up. In this video, Dave talks about how walking offers some advantages over other forms of exercise when you're trying to lose weight AND keep it off.
If you're struggling to make fitness stick, you're invited to try the Walking is Fitness podcast. There's a new ten-minute episode every day that will help you develop a fitness habit that lasts. And, to keep it fun, Dave records each episode while he's out walking too.
DISCLAIMER: Dave is not a doctor or personal trainer. This video is not intended as specific medical advice for you. Please talk to your professional before starting any course of exercise to make sure it's safe for you.

For years I thought my walk required a purpose such as getting a paper, a coffee, etc. Thanks for helping me see that walking is its own purpose and reward.
Thank you!!
Hi Dave! I'm 52, a grandmother and mom of three grown children. I've been walking seriously since high school. It's taken me through all my life's ups and downs. I live in New Hampshire where the weather isn't always the best! But as a NewEnglander, I walk in every kind of weather! I listen to you every day, I walk everyday. Thank you so much for your podcast, it helps so much. Especially with a busy work, family life, it helps me with my anxiety and stress. Thank you so much! Heather
In New Hampshire, you have learned to be “weather strong.” I admire that. Thank you for your kind comments, for watching, and for listening to the podcast!
I live in Newmarket NH!
@@carolstiver4652 I live up in the Lakes Region
Well.... Your Introductory notes area a tad peculiar.. You do not look like a grandmother .. or a mum.. but that aside, I love your work. I'll be hoping to get my Family to take this wonderful advice.. They NEED it beyond your imagination..
I have noticed that my pants keep getting bigger.
I remember reading a story about a secretarial pool from decades ago that switched from manual to electric typewriters. Each secretary gained an average of ten pounds over the next year.
We have made life too easy with our cars, automatic dishwashers, robot vacuum cleaners, riding lawnmowers, etc. Walking adds back that bit of exertion we have engineered out of our lives.
We have to be intentional about movement. It’s time to engineer walking back into our daily life. Thanks for watching!
also its not about the burning of the calories during the exercise, its about how it improves your baseline metabolism for daily calorie consumption. think of it as adding a multiplier to your metabolism.
Yes, walking can be one component in a journey to lose weight.
Hi, Dave, with your consistency in uploading you support my consistency to walk… what I enjoy most is the mood changing, though weightloss is my goal, too. We underestimate the power of 'a bit'… and the power of 'every day'. I’m grateful, that I CAN walk, there are many in my age, who can’t , and I’m grateful I found you at a time, where my motivation was low. Love from Germany, Monika❣
Hi Monika in Germany. What an encouraging comment! Thank you!!
agree...grateful i can walk everyday
I hear all that! I walk (and hike). I know a man who moved closer to work. He then left his car at home and walked to work, losing 40 lbs! 👍🇨🇦😎
Love this comment! I even used it in today’s Walking is Fitness podcast. Thank you…
I started walking about 8K to 12K steps a day the last four years. While it certainly was beneficial for weight loss and general health, I think cutting food intake by about 15-20% and eliminating colas from diet was equally beneficial. Thanks for your channel.
Yes, nutrition is a huge part of health and fitness. I can’t remember the last time I drank a soda. Thanks for watching!
@@WalkingisFitness yes eliminated coke and OJ.....maybe a beer once a week!
I continue to enjoy your videos.
I walk every morning,rain or shine.About 2000 steps.
It helps to set a good tone for the rest of my day.
Oh how the world and youtube needs these kinds of positive,uplifting videos!!
You must have a camera with stabilization feature,because the image is never shaky.😊
Thanks for watching. And, yes, I got a stabilizer. Still more to do to make the videos better for you, but at least they don’t have that shaky feel anymore!
Found you just two weeks ago on RUclips and am so excited...you have given me something I can do! and what I've needed for so long thanks to your videos...Thank you!!
How kind! Thank you!
I’ve been walking since last September. Started out a couple of days for 1 hour in the morning on a city trail near my home Now I’m up to 4 days a week. I do walk with my sister. We are both retired. My goal is to walk 5 days a week. Happy trails!
Love your progress!! Thanks for watching
Loosing weight is about eating healthy. There is a Dutch expression: “ieder pondje komt door het mondje” (literally translated: every pound comes through the mouth). My mother used to say it a lot. It also depends on the weight you are coming from. It goes fast at first. The closer you get to your “ideal” weight the harder it gets. I have been on the same weight for the last 30 years. I tried very hard to loose the weight that built up in the post menopausal years. I lost it everywhere but there. So I came to terms with my “middle”, the 72 kilos/163cm and size 12. With my 76 years according to BMI I'm okay. Walking (and I do a lot) does not make me loose weight. However, and this is the important part, it keeps me from loosing bone mass and muscle mass (and building fat mass).
Walking can be a significant part of pursuing health and wellness as you say! Thanks for watching
I just found your videos today and I am so glad I did!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your information is very important. I enjoy hearing what you have to share. Keep up your walking...
Thank you for watching!
Very interesting fact about President Taft!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Dave! Thank you so much for reading my review of your podcast this weekend! I've enjoyed walking with you every day and just wanted to share how you are making a difference in the way I've been motivating myself to move. This morning the weather wasn't the greatest, so I decided to listen to you as I walked around my house. Not what I prefer to do, but I wasn't going to miss my morning walk with you. I hope you have a great rest of your day!
What an encouraging comment! Thank you!!
@@WalkingisFitness You’re very welcome
Awesome to hear about the zones..and that walking burns fat. Thanks for the video and the story of Taft.
Thank you for watching!
I am getting older and must walk with a cane due to old injuries. I have dogs and they get me out walking for their sake. I find when I walk, it's easier to lose weight and my mood is so much better. I just feel a little happier all day.
Ask your PT about Walking Sticks. Using two during the walk made them much more enjoyable for me. You get the same stability as a cane, but you get a more normal movement and a lot more support. It also makes your upper body movement more normal. It took a day or so for my dog to get used to it, but now they are fine.
How resilient and inspiring!!
been doing about 12k steps a day since new years and am down 35 pounds- 15 more to go. not drinking calories is also huge.
Very inspiring! Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for the video! 👍 The President's example is very significant! My problem is that a nice walk makes me hungry! 🤤😅
I found President Taft’s story fascinating which is why I included it in this video. Thanks for watching!
Have you tried doing it in early evening, after supper. Then you fast till breakfast the next morning.
@@WalkingisFitness I love your video! Greetings from Italy! 🇮🇹
@@suziechampagne357 thank you! 🤗
Very helpful thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
Sounds too good to be true
You should give it a try!
@@WalkingisFitness I know it probably sounded disparaging but it wasn't meant to
I was simply just saying that's how it sounds, but maybe it's the exception that proves the rule
I just feel hot/sweaty after a mile in TX. Only weigh 181!
Same thing happens here in South Carolina! Thanks for watching
I wish our desert area had more trees. I miss them. Remember no more than 10% distance gain per week.
Start slow…think long. Gradual increases.
It's amazing isn't it to walk 1 mile and burn the same energy as running it. Well it is one of the laws of physics regarding work done. Force x distance I think.
Never thought of it using the physics filter! Thanks for watching
And before you know it, your body will crave it because it makes you feel so good.
Yes!!!
what is your average heartrate when you walk like 1-2 hours?
Great question, but I actually don’t know. I’m not a doctor or licensed personal trainer, but I know it’s important to push the heart rate occasionally…and I try to do that by increasing my pace and finding some hills (which isn’t easy when you live near the beach) Thanks for watching
❤
Thanks Wynn!
Take a stim, walk forever. It is not hard.
Thanks for watching
walking makes me ....
…feel happy
I feel more alive and energetic but it takes a long time and lots of walking to lose weight. i need to lose about 155 pounds. Adopt a Raw vegan diet or go on a juice fast to supercharge your weight loss/health.
I lost 60+ lbs in 2014 by going low-carb eventually shifting more to carnivore. I maintain now eating more of a Mediterranean style diet, but my approach kickstarted the weight loss. Took 10 months. Check out the movie “Fathead”, it sparked my initial motivation. Hang in there and best wishes.
Yes! This is a marathon, not a sprint. Congratulations on your progress!
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏☺️☺️☺️
