I've always believed in the power of walking. That's why, every morning, I start my day with a walk to the liquor store. It's made me the man I am today.

As someone who has lost 140 lbs over the last 12 - 16 months doing nothing but 150 mins of moderate/high-intensity walking per week (around 3 to 4 mph walking) and a 30 - 35 min workout once a week, I think I can personally attest to the usefulness of walking when you're severely overweight and you want to focus on your diet.

I walked for 20 days through the swiss alps, then I walked across Sweden over a month. Very, very quickly got the fittest i've ever been. When I got home, I tried to run to see how much i'd improved with my fitness, I ran 16km and still had gas in the tank which was a 60% increase on my record before. Didn't need to watch what I ate, I lost weight and gained legs of steel. Still, not everyone has the time to walk all day, every day for a couple of months, but if you're really fat, it WILL get rapid, serious results and it's just walking.

I was having problems with depression, still do, and I started walking after one year of becoming a complete sedentary person due to my reclusiveness. I started gradually and by the end of the year I could walk up to 15 km every day. My posture, my back pain and my mental health all VASTLY improved. And I´ve never been overweight but also my body composition changed. I cannot compete in Mr Olympia by walking, but I think the benefits are obvious if you try it.

Another key benefit of walking for unfit people is that it's an easy, low intensity, low cost, low embarrassment way to create a good habit and establish the time to exercise within their daily routine. Once this habit is created, other, more challenging exercises can be introduced into that time.

Walking paired with resistance training allowed me to lose 70 lbs, build muscle, and maintain 60 lbs of that weight loss for three years. Walking is underrated by many.

This senior citizen agrees 100% with you. I lift dumbbells, run and perform other exercises many days of the week. Very important. A law of physics states 'A body in motion stays in motion'. I have no plans to ever stop.

I walk 2-3 miles every morning to start the day. its for my mental health and gets some activity in as well as some joint movement. This is in addition to regular resistance training and running on a treadmill. i love my morning walks and wouldn't discourage anyone from walking.

Walking is absolutely amazing for everyone. You just have to make it challenging if you want it to be considered exercise:

Walk fast
Walk up hills and mountains
Walk carrying stuff
Walk for a long time

My parents live in the CO Rockies and go on daily hour-long walks. They have 3 routes that they cycle through: the easiest is flat and the hardest is pretty steep. They've been doing hour-long walks every day for at least 45 years and still active in their 80s.

Living a sedentary lifestyle is like drinking soda which makes walking like drinking diet coke. Substituting an hour of walking for an hour of sitting on the couch is a huge energy swing for sedentary folks but won’t get you into the best shape of your life. I love walking!

I just got a job as a waiter. Walking 22, 000+ steps. This was perfect for me...ive already dropped about 10lbs of unwanted weight in 3 weeks of having the job..

I wish more fitness influencers would look at health holistically. Walking is an excellent way to stay fit and keep your weight manageable. I do a lot of diverse things to stay fit. When was I in the best shape of my life? When I walked and ran on a daily basis. When I moved to a new area and bought a car and didn’t walk as much, my weight became really hard to control. It’s not the ONLY thing I do, but it’s certainly the most important thing I do for my mental and physical health. Not everyone wants to spend every moment in the gym! Walking around the lake with my dog gives me peace of mind and a boost in mental health that I do not get from lifting weights.

I just don't enjoy running, but I love walking! I have depression and autism, I have limited resourses of energy than others, I've concously made the decision that walking everyday, and resistance training a few times a week is what health looks like for me, and I'm content with that.

My great grandma lived to 100. She walked around town all day near the end and I believe the walking helped. I was 130lbs till 26 and blew up to almost 200lbs at 5 7. I started fasting and walking and dropped down to a nice 160. Walking is extremely beneficial along with a good diet. Adding in working out is perfection in my book. I’m not doing the last part yet

[michaelanthony]

I'm surprised how few times walking is recommended by the fitness community for people who don't exercise and are obese. I think it's great personally. When I had to walk 30 min to work every day I lost a ton of weight. Could you do more? Of course, but walking 30+ min a day will get everyone 80% of the way to being a healthy human.

Walking at even between 3 and 3.5 mph uphill is damn sure exercise!

Walking helped me lose lose over 100 Lbs in a year. When I was 280 Lbs at 5’ 9” tall, walking 4-5 miles a day helped me lose 30 lbs in the 3 months. This motivated me to keep going, I joined a gym, started biking and got down to my 175 Lbs Goal. It’s been over 10 years since then and I’m still 175-180 Lbs 🙂

Older… in your 40s. I don’t love you anymore, drmike

Walking IS exercise. I hiked for 3 weeks on a trail (roughly 500km) and i was in the fucking shape of my life at the end! I felt like i had infinite energy. I could run up mountains for hours. With my heavy backpack. I just didnt get tired anymore. I wasnt cold anymore. My body felt amazing. My head was so clear. I had razor focus. And i got a raging libido back 😂

Just saying. In my personal experience.. "just walking" did more for me than any other exercise in my life.
