We Tried Getting 10,000 Steps Every Day for a Month, Here's What Happened

We attempted to get 10,000 steps of walking a day because people say that's healthy and good fitness and exercise and junk. Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn of Pomplamoose joined us!

I did it for one day and lost 200 pounds, I live in the UK... I was mugged.

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! ❤️ 😊 😍

I did intermittent fasting, low carb diet change with walking 10000 steps. I lost 30 lbs in about 3 months.

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.

[celesteaargantea]

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.😎

Your parents just steal the show every damn time I swear

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!

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 <3

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 am morbidly obese and this video is much more effective in motivating me to walk than a million of those expert videos or podcasts. Wow. God bless you guys.

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.

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.

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 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."

[Oscar-fiev]

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.

[katebogdan]

kind of love that they never make their child a spectacle on this channel and hardly show their baby on camera.

I do 30k steps 5/7 days a week on sidewalks, roads and stairs through snow and slush. I'm a mail man.

[giessel]

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.
