Dave, for the first time in years after a really tough time in my life, I went to work at a Target store in 2022 as a way to get back into the flow of things...on a schedule, get active, wake up to an alarm, etc. I averaged 12,000 steps a day with a peak at Christmas one day of 28,000!! It has changed my life in many ways both physically & mentally and I dare say spiritually as well. Thank you for this channel, it is important and so positive.

Thank you for sharing your story and for your kind words!

My walk is the best part of my day. It has enormous psychological benefits for me.

[@johnnymidas5879]

THANK YOU, YOUR CHANNEL IS INSPIRING ❤

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thank you!!

[@tinalewis6782]

I completely recommend falling in love with a sport - whether it’s walking or something else. Weight loss will be effortless and you’ll thrilled to do something you love. 💕

[@WalkingisFitness]

100% !!!

Dave, what I like about your channel is the clear, consistent message. Some health and fitness UA-camrs simply report on the latest studies or trends, and often wind up giving conflicting advice. Not you! Thanks for what you do.

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thank you!!

[@ellenrose2533]

29/31 days walked in January, thanks so much for your encouraging vlogs Dave.

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thank you!!

I can attest to many of these benefits in my own experience. I also suffer from depression and walking helps ease affects of this. I'm also on medication for it, but coupled with walking daily, I feel much better.

[@carolsopinski4549]

I completely agree that once you make that step to get out and walk, you can ease, certain pain and discomfort and get your mind to think along another track! Great advice Dave! As a health care professional, I can say that folks are always grateful to those who will encourage and empower them to get mobile👏

[@lindabyrne3353]

Thank you for doing these talks & walks. I love walking, always have, but it’s good to be reminded of the many benefits.
Will look out for your podcasts 👌🏻

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thanks for watching! I hope you can check out the podcast.

[@SeanC1959]

Thanks Dave. Always inspired by your videos. I walk every day, averaging close to 12,000 steps per day in total. My dedicated walk in the evening is 6 km at a speed of 5.5 kph. It is my daily reset.

[@deanpesci8484]

Getting in my 4 miles or so everyday is the healthiest addiction I have ever had. I just dont feel right the rest of the day if I skip it.

[@sharpenrightservicesllc]

Me too!

[@sharpenrightservicesllc]

My morning walks are my mental clarity time. I agree with all of these benefits wholeheartedly! ♥

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thanks for watching Mike!

[@lindamorin1021]

❤ Great video, as always. I think another overlooked benefit of walking is how energized I feel each day I do my intentional power walk - walking for pace. Keep up the great work encouraging and motivating others to adopt this simple, but life changing habit.

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thank you Linda!

[@californiacat9762]

Good morning. Thanks for all you do. 😸

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thank you!

[@mattandbarbhartt2860]

Thanks Dave! You continue to be an encouragement to me! This Friday will be my day 30 of the 90 day challenge! I got this! Also, the other day my mindset of “need to” changed to a “want to” go for my daily walk.

[@WalkingisFitness]

This is so awesome! Congratulations

[@colleenmorrey9173]

Thank you Rebecca!

[@elizabethdumas4147]

I used to jog, but now in my 70s I walk. Thank you for inspiring me when I need to go for a walk.

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thank you for watching!

[@micheleh4016]

Good food for thought

[@jeroenRE]

I have weak knees from early age (genetic stuff). I found out, I can strengthen them by walking. My weekly walking distance goal is 10kms. Not astounding, but mind you, it is 520kms per year. In summer, I manage to walk around 20kms sometimes. In winter, with bad weather and a busy schedule, sometimes a little less than 10kms. Rainy or cold weather can't stop me though! Snow, on the other hand, is a show stopper. Luckily there's only snow for around 3-5 days per year in Belgium.

[@BillHicks-m9h]

didn't feel great last night, 9:30 went to walk for a few short minutes, felt better as I walked, stayed out forty minutes

[@WalkingisFitness]

This has happened to me too!!

[@James-p8u]

Thanks Dave, it’s important for you to know that, I’m not a Doctor either! But I get motivated from your videos daily for my walks !

[@WalkingisFitness]

Thank you for your kind words! Thanks also for watching

[@michelel3372]

I love to walk but haven't seen a change in my chocolate cravings!! ha ha!! Maybe I need to try harder. Thanks for another great and inspirational video, Dave.

[@AB-ef2hs]

Thank you Dave for your video…🙏 I broke my little finger...I won't be able to walk for a month....🥺….

[@lisag9493]

Thank you Dave, how about the absorption of vitamin D with the sunlight on the skin? This in turn staves off osteoporosis and of course less chance of having a fracture if you fall, best wishes, Lisa

[@lolasimmons9152]

What would you recommend for some person who is morbidly obese and has heart disease?

[@karene9446]

I can confirm all of these but especially how walking curbs a sweet tooth.
