Research-PROVEN 30-Minute Walk Benefits

Learn about all of the research-proven 30-minute walk benefits!

"Walking is the best medicine" - Hippocrates

Walking is essential for good health. Walking research is very clear. If you take a 30-minute walk each day, your heart will be dramatically healthier. As you walk, your heart pumps in a nice and relaxed manner, circulating oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. When your body is receiving this vital oxygen-rich blood and nutrients, your body and tissues stay younger and healthier. The benefits of walking for exercise are infinite.

Is walking for losing weight effective? A 30-minute walk can boost your metabolism for up to 12 hours after the walk! Pairing a healthy diet with a 30-minute walk can help you lose weight without exercise. Additional benefits of walking include strengthening your bones and improving your attention and memory.

Taking a walk after eating a meal is a great idea. Walking helps to decrease the blood sugar spike that happens after eating a meal. Start taking a walk every day and let us know how you feel in the comments below! 👇

In 2020, I was over 300 pounds. Back then I could barely walk 1000 steps for 10 minutes and feel winded afterwards.
I saw multiple videos about the benefits of walking. I started to walk for my health.

Today I am the healthiest I have ever been. I have lost over 100 pounds. There are days I can walk 16, 000 steps. I sleep better. My mood has greatly improved. I am more confident.

My grandmother started walking 10 miles a day when she was 60. Now she's 92, and we don't know where the hell she is.

Im in my early 70‘s and have been walking daily between 6 to 8 Km, on the flat, no hills, by the ocean, but on a paved road for pedestrians cars, no bikes, no dogs, no loud music, just clean, ocean air, even the occasional whale, what a blessings!!! Have gone off B.P.

Walking every day is how I got back in shape after I battled with cancer at 21. I'm now pregnant with my first child and I do indoor walk in place workouts with various videos. It's amazing.

In the past 6 months I’ve been walking 3 miles at least 5 days a week, drinking lots of water and eating healthier(adding lots of fresh fruit, veggies, lean meat). I’ve lost over 30lbs. I was walking through the neighborhood but my husband made a 4-wheeler trail in our woods and I started walking in there because it was cooler. But I tell you, just the peaceful scenery alone makes me so calm & relaxed that I love walking.

My husband and I have started walking after dinner the last two weeks, and for the first time in a year, I’ve lost weight. It’s not a lot so far, but I’m encouraged!

[TheKapias]

I love walking! Been doing it every morning at least 2 miles a day I’m 69 going on ageless! Love walking! Thank you for the info!

[victoriaalvarado]

Just started walking 3 weeks ago, I was a couch potatoe, I don’t know what took me so long, I could have felt better years ago! Also with a healthier diet, I feel so good. I plan to make this a lifestyle.

I dont like walking, but my dog need it. So he forced me to walk around 1 hour a day, and since I love thag dog, 1 hour feels like just 10 minutes. My breath gets better. My dog saved my life.

[anitacarter]

Yes, walking is good for you not just physically but mentally…. 😁 💪🏻

[Rem-zilla-]

I started walking roughly 4 miles a day every morning. Some people don’t realize how good they feel taking a 20 minute walk after a big meal .Everything you say in this video is spot on! 👏

[kevingreene]

I love how you explained the benefits of walking. Many people think they need to buy all of these new fitness gadgets and workout videos when a simple 30 minute walk is all you need.

[rosequartz]

[tinamichelle]

I been really trying to listen to my body and give it what it needs and I've noticed that I heard it screaming " I WANT TO WALK, " and to be honest I did some HIT training instead and felted extremely tired. So, today I listened to my body and walked about 45 minutes and I feel much better. Thanks for sharing this information.
