I'm a huge proponent of walking. I've used it three times in my long life to recover from injuries that left me pretty debilitated. Walking was a game changer for getting me back to "normal." Start with short walks, even just through your house. Then increase time/distance.

I love this video! Thanks!

Thank you for these nerd talks, it helps me get my head the right place to get things done rather than the basic "exercise is good, you are bad for not exercising".

Of all the various type of exercise, walking is the one i seem to fall back onto, i find the easiest to do, take less prodding to get motivated.

Great video! Would love to see how you'd nerd math farmers carries (1 or 2 kettlebells + complexity)

[BenSemisch]

I would love to see a video about stepping patterns with some actual demo. As someone in a small space for work-outs and crap weather most of the year that sounds really beneficial.

I'm a long time Garmin sports watch/Garmin Connect training ecosystem user. A Garmin metric I pay good attention to is my 30-day Exercise Load, which is broken down into low aerobic, high aerobic and anaerobic. I try to stay within the optimal ranges in each of these Exercise Load metrics, which varies from person to person and is determined by the numerous health metrics Garmin watches track. I've been performing the Nerd Math style of training for several months and my current weekly training program is two days of KB Swings/C&P and two days of slamball workouts. I discovered that the KB swings, KB C&P and slamball workouts maintained my Exercise Load in the optimal high aerobic and anerobic ranges, which is good; however, I had a low aerobic shortage. Therefore, I added two 45 minute walks at a moderate pace per week and this solved the low aerobic shortage.

Currently this Herbertism discussion is my favourite thing on the internet. +1, Mark.

I really appreciate these Nerd Math videos, keep up the great work

Thanks Mark. Been waiting for your ideas for walking. Looking to hear more about your thoughts on walking foot strikes/gait, warm ups/stretches for walking, exercises for improving walking movement patterns.

Also any updates on the Overweight/Deconditioned program? Eagerly waiting for your release of that one. Hope you get some time to work on it soon as I believe it can really help a lot of people and change lives!

Very interested in hearing the rest of this "Herbertism" series you plan on putting out.
Thank you once again for all you do and information you share.

Awesome video. I studied Aikido for years and we used a particular kata to train in directional foot patterns daily. All eight directions, sliding on the balls of the feet, also incorporating pivots, then coordinating this with various arm movements such as different parries and strikes. It was one of the most fundamental and valuable parts of training. That, and the ability to do falls and rolls in any direction (front, rear, side).

Would love to hear more about the benefits and programming of walking backwards, and also adding load by climbing (hills, stairs, mountains, etc.), and pushing, pulling, and dragging. Thx Mark as usual.

You may wish to add walking with a cane, a hiking staff, shepherds staff or 2 ski poles as in Nordic walking. Staffs or poles are also very beneficial depending on the terrain, amount of snow or mud sand or dirt. And how many animals or sheep / goats cattle you are herding as well! I do nordic walking. Ski poles with rubber "feet" basically. Ski jouring or nordic walking incorporates pushing with shoulder arms hands, lats, obliques. The poles absorb some of the impact of the ground and offer a nice push off to propel you forward.

Love the nerd videos. I’ve recently added walking with a weight vest twice per week to improve my cardio.

[NJames-dhkz]

Just want to say that I really enjoy and appreciate the nerd/philosophy videos. This isn't the kind of information you find on YouTube very often at all, but I think it's potentially life changing information for most people.

[richardkuhlmann]

Mark u must complete this series. These types of videos and your nerd math videos are the best. To add to your growing list of possible vids can u consider doing one on how to work up to be able to do a pistol.

Done first hill walk in 30 years last weekend. 6 miles up to greygill head in Scottish Borders from where I was camping. Mostly up hill until last mile which was off track up hillside no track. I know without doubt that I would not have made the final part without having done kettlebell fundamentals such as swings and squats.

Walking is the beginning of cardio rehab after heart surgery (quad bypass 4 years ago at 60, ) For me 10k steps per day is around 4.5 miles at 2200 steps per mile roughly 90 minutes per day during the day.

[cuddlycherub]

Your videos are great! Love the neck mobility and kettlebell workouts, thank you!

[AlteredState]

Cool. Recent psych research has revealed the mental health benefits of walking or running forward. The therapy based on this concept has proven more effective than talk therapy. I don’t have a source for this at my fingertips, but I found it fascinating. Walking is well below my zone 2 heart rate, but I find it does wonders for my sense of well being: that is, real walking, not the treadmill.

[andregantenbrink]

Amazing idea, I really look forward to this lecture series!

[objectionable]

Great stuff i was hoping for videos on all the different categories, a quick overview on the crossfit categories would be good too
