Makes me wish the US was more walkable. Even in cities you have to be super careful not to get hit by a car.

I live in Florida for 13 years, and I’ve been walking my dogs around the block 3 times per day for 13 years!!! All my neighbors know me from consistently walk around the block!! It relaxes me and takes care of any stress tension, , , , and it keep my weight down!! I’m 6 feet 205lb. I’m grateful.

I’m 35yo male. 5’10”. I started walking before work minimum 2 miles mon-fri. I hate going to the gym. Walking is easier. Listen to music, podcast, call family/friends, etc. After 3 months I lost 18lbs. Now I walk after dinner as well.

I enjoy walking and I have recently begun filming my walks. Not only is it good for your health, but exploring by foot is also very enjoyable and addictive.

I love walking it helps me reduce feeling stress and improve my mood. I try my best to walk 2-3 miles a day. Also I use walking if I have difficulty doing different exercises.

[herbertrodriquez]

I walk and talk to myself at least 35 minutes a day. I sleep better and feel less stressed out. Can't beat the benefits.

[Jcampos]

Best cardio ever. Low effort, high reward.

Walking was a huge part of how I lost 50 lbs in 4 months!

Unless there's a lot of ice and snow or it's 90° with high humidity, I've been walking 2 miles a day for several years. Love to walk.

they need to improve a lot on the infrastructure in America

[madhampavan]

im walking 30 minutes daily from one week, i already feel better with my body my mind thanks for the information

[suvigyabasnotra]

Just finished my more than 15, 000 steps today.

[jwf]

if each step is 3 feet then 7, 000 steps is 21, 000 feet or between 3 and 4 miles. If the pace of walking is 3 miles per hour then walking for 1 hour will do the deed. Another idea is that doing any repetitive exercise, like walking, 20 minutes eevery day will do the deed.

[ryandeffley]

Walking is technically a form of exercise. But it should honestly just be a facet of daily living. It's sad how so many people don't move.

1) Ideally, people should be spreading 1-2hrs of walking over each day just for health purposes.

2) Resistance training (weights or even bodyweight calisthenics) at least 2-3x per week is a great goal.

3) Formal cardio that tests your vo2 max for at least 90 min per week is a great goal.

[zebrastripes]

Crap, I've been stopping at 6983 every day.

He's talking here about reducing mortality...there are MANY additional benefits of walking.

I started brisk walking and was amazed just how fast my belly went down as well as my jowls and turkey neck.

Makes me wonder why I wasted my time doing sit-ups.

[IOSALive]

Good Morning America, Yay! I liked this video so much, it made me smile!

[tirpitz]

Any form of exercise does the same thing.

[olgakim]

And they say older people who walk faster live longer. I can't help but walk fast. When I try to walk at a pace most people walk, I feel like I'm walking in slow-motion.

I’m done! Wearing my Apple Watch everyday to make sure I get those steps in.💃🏽
