Get Fit Walking - Can you get fit just by walking? YES!

This is a new strand for Sport Walk, aimed squarely at those interested in fitness walking, especially anyone just starting out.

I look forward to following your content. I'm a 58 year old Canadian heart attack survivor. Up to my heart attack, I was an endurance trail runner. Walking was/is the focus of my recovery process. While I want to return to trail running. I think my path forward for the new year will be as you suggested, 3 power walks during the week plus one longer slower walk on the weekend (maybe on a nearby forest trail system) . Thanks for what you share!

Just very exciting! As a long-time follower, I think this is a strong, clear, and precise video to lead with into the new year. I'm REALLY looking forward to all the new content. 🙂

Inspiring stuff Roger! I'm going for the Strava "Walk 1, 000 miles in 2024" challenge plus a 20 mile event in July.

Oh this sounds good! I loved running in my late teens but always felt like it was too hard on my joints as I got older. I also struggled with anorexia and couldn't do a lot of sports anymore. During the pandemic I started walking and it helped me so much! No joint pain, got really fit and I got a very healthy relationship with food again. I love being in nature, so this was easily the best thing I ever did for my physical and mental health. Sadly, I got a medical condition last year due to bad luck and had six surgeries already. I got so sad because I couldn't walk long distances anymore but my surgeons always say, even walking a tiny bit every time I can is already doing a lot for my health. It's encouraging to know that I don't need to run marathons or lift heavy weights to do something for my health. Looking forward to long hikes again someday when I am back on my feet
