I start walking 3 miles on June 2022 my weight was 145 , now June 2023 my weight is 114, my blood pressure was 140, now 117. Now I walk 6 miles a day, 7 days. I am proud of of myself. If I can do it, you can do it to. Good luck everyone. ❤😂😊

For those of us fighting high cortisol, walking is THE exercise! I love it. It relieves my anxiety and depression and helps manage my cortisol levels. I can't extolling it enough.

I am 10 days into quitting smoking AND just started making walking a part of my daily routine. Just got through walking 5.5 miles and I feel great!

[cherylcosgrove]

I’ve been walking close to every day for 50 years! I’m turning 65 this 4th of July! I’ll be walking till I die😂

Walking 10000 steps a day for the past 16 months and the results are amazing

I’m petite and started working overnight and gained 20 pounds since my job is a computer job. just started back walking and it feels amazing. I walked 3 days per week. 3-4 miles per each day. Well the more I walk when it time to go I always end up doing two or three more laps. It’s such a good feeling u can’t stop. Going to start listening to music during my walks but I love hearing nature the birds see the butterfly’s. It’s amazing. I also walked a lot after giving birth years ago. Also noticed my dreams are very clear and if I set an alarm my body automatically wakes up a minute before the alarm goes off. Crazy how my body knows what time it is while I sleep. Mood is very light and happy 😊 proud of myself

I aim for daily walks, but sometimes skip a day and I feel it. It’s just a lethargy that comes over me when I don’t get my walk in. Such great medicine and it feels good too.

I walk around 5 miles everyday, it's great for my physical and mental health

[Runner]

This is a great video. I’m a runner, still, sort of, actually not really anymore. I’ve had to cut way back on running because of knee, hip and ankle pain. I thought running was necessary for weight management and by walking instead I’d gain weight. But that hasn’t happened. If anything the reverse has happened. I find I am much less hungry when I walk vs run. Even if I walk the same distance as I’d typically run. I also sleep better. I think running is very stressful on the body. And if your someone with anxiety issues and a lot of stress already (like me) running probably isn’t the best idea. Walking is just relaxing.

Great and informative video! I walk every day because that's how I get to and from work. Best decision I've ever made was to walk to work rather than bus. I feel like I start my day better that way.

[denisemanns]

Thanks so much AGAIN for being so informative and in such a simple way we can all understand and absorbe easily. I’ve been all my life a runner and last year I sustained a brain injury which stopped me from any intense exercise so I started walking more often. Now that I can run again I choose walking 😊

I gave up my car 12 years ago & walk miles everyday. I have young kiddies who walk everywhere & you really see the benefits of using their energy walking in the fresh air compared to their peers who are stuck traveling in cars all the time ( usually hyper active & destructive behaviours). We, as a family love & enjoy walking.

[carlosbaldrico]

Walking makes part of my daily routine over last years . I use to walk 7 Km / day on average . But for me walking is only fun if i use my ear buds and listening to my favourites music tracks while i am walking . I have around 120 mp3 songs on my Smartphone. My Smartphone with my earbuds are essential while i am walking. Walking everyday was the best thing that happenned to myself over the last years.

I walk or run my 2 Giant Schnauzers 8 miles a day, I also lift weights, and ride my Mt Bike up in the hills of the San Francisco Bay Area.. Your Video makes me want to walk even more!!!!
: ) Thank you!!!! Keep on Walkin'!!!! ; )

Hi, Ryan from South Africa. Walking has really improved my eye sight too

[salvatorebonsignore]

I've been walking since Feb 2016 and took off 40 pounds first year and just walking daily fine maintenance. Also my body looks different besides the weight loss Also no more blood pressure pills

[mamabear]

I'm in a mich better mood if I walk my dog first thing in the morning. Love to hear the birds, see nature in the morning light, and breath the fresh air. It's a great time to get a Podcast in or spend time with my family. I at the age of 38 have hip that I need to be careful with so walking suits me best than a workout with a lot of kicking or high leg movements.

Correction there is a difference between walking outside and inside, indoors that us. All walking is good but outside we also get the benefit of light therapy from daylight and benefits from good fresh air ( more oxygen and negative ions) so outside is better though all exercise of any kind is a benefit there are added benefits from being outside ( treats, SAD, depression, insomnia, in the early morning, sets oir body clock).
