Walking is better than any pill a "doctor" will ever prescribe you.

I love walking. During the lockdown, I walked in my backyard. In a straight line or in figure 8, it doesn't matter. I just walked. I went from 230+ bs to my current 170 lbs. I also cut down on my sugar/refined foods intake and did intermittent fasting.

Been speed walking 4-5 miles every morning for over a month and i feel fabulous. Definitely is better than an antidepressent 😁👍✌♥️

I'm 4'11 and my highest weight was 186lbs. I wore a size 16 and was borderline diabetic! I remember as a young kid my Mom taking me walking with her and how enjoyable it was. Not to mention the weight she had lost! I started walking 5 days a week for one hour and lost 42lbs in 6 months! I am no longer in danger of type 2 diabetes and wear a size 9. I feel better physically and mentally! :)

About 2 months ago I started slow jogging, but after the 2nd week I developed split shin syndrome and switched to brisk walking. Never felt better physically as well as mentally.

I lost 20 pounds by walking 4 miles a day, eating whole grain oatmeal w/ fruit for breakfast 5x a week, reducing sugar, bread and alcohol.

[stewiegriffin]

Walking is great for those that have anxiety and depression, walking releases the feel good endorphins like serotonin and dopamine and lowers the bad chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline, 30 mins a day (that's it) but must be a brisk walk not a lazy dog walk for 30 mins

[nonophat]

I started walking 5000 steps a day early this week... on Friday, I realised how good I was feeling mentally and emotionally but couldn't understand why... It just clicked now😁🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

Walking alone won't do much if you're trying to lose weight UNLESS you lower your caloric intake. Eat whatever you want (hopefully something healthy) but most importantly..LOWER YOUR CALORIES DAILY..otherwise..you won't lose weight no matter how much you walk. This is a scientific fact..not an opinion. And get a treadmill if you have the space and put a TV in front of it so you never have an excuse like weather to not walk. Good luck!
