    When people ask me what is the best calisthenics exercise when it comes to getting rid of fat while building muscle, my response usually doesn’t excite them so much…
    “Just walk more…”
    In today’s video I’ll share with you:
    a) how I stay at 10% body-fat, using walking as my only LISS cardio activity
    b) how to make walking fun
    c) what are the best times to walk
    d) how many steps you need to do depending on your goals
    e) what are all the benefits of walking
    f) and how a simple habit like this one can improve your life
    Walking is one of the best habits that I’d recommend incorporating in your weekly routine for the coming new year.
    It’s simple, it’s as calisthenics as it gets and it will help you build momentum for a lot more positive changes over the rest of the year!
    And hey, if can I do it on a prosthetic leg, so can you 😉

    P.S. For those mentioned that 10k - 15k steps take too much time during the day....
    I completely understand, but you don’t have to get all your steps in one session.
    For starters everybody walks 4-5k steps per day just moving around in regular life. Next, I offer different approaches in the video on how to get your steps in with more strategic ways.
    For example I also work 12 hours a day on week-days, so when I don't have any free time I do the following:
    a) I try to walk to work in the morning (2000 steps),
    b) I have a brisk walk in the middle of the day (2000 steps)
    c) I walk back home (2000 steps)
    d) + 4000 steps from the rest of the day that occur anyway
    e) if I can't get up to 15k I try to stick to a minimum 10k per day and I get as many extra steps as I can in the weekend
    Hey, if I can do it while working 12 hours a day and on a prosthesis so can you ;)
    Keep it up!

      Thank you for sharing this and I have to say that I stopped running ( ran marathons in the past) and switched to walking. Walking is so more enjoyable and mind clearing. While on my training plan for running I always had to force myself to get my miles in. With walking I don’t have to force myself. I enjoy it. I walk between 10000-20000 steps a day and I have never been leaner in my life. I don’t do calisthenics, but a lot of mobility work and Pilates, barre and dance.

    Really nice one. It's funny I ran a lot in my youth, yet increasingly it was tiresome to get going, which I eventually realized stemmed from thinking running had to be at my max, which is actually exhausting, lol. So when I got older I simply jogged until I was short of breath, then I just walked until I recovered and then jogged some more. This way I never get exhausted, or get runner's stitch etc. My body gets pleasantly tired but never sore afterwards. I'm always happy to get going and I cover a lot more distance. Yet I never see anyone suggesting combining running and walking. Yet I think it's an amazing combo. It breaks up the walking monotony too if that is a issue.

    I've been walking most of my adult life. I try to hit no less than 2 miles - but aim for at least 5 daily. I've run, rode bikes, crossfit, gyms, etc. But walking is so easy to do, and it removes a lot of stress from your life. I usually listen to books or podcasts. I turn 53 this year - so I can attest that a lifetime of fitness with loads of walking has kept me trim and healthy.
    One caveat with walking, however. GET GOOD SHOES. Change them at least every 6 mos. I get foot pain quite a bit. Footwear is a game changer. Not a bad idea to see a chiropractor to keep your posture aligned either.

    It's all about what you eat in relation to your activity. You can easily out eat any amount exercise you do (some top athletes do have to eat a lot, ok), and you can get/stay lean without any exercise at all (not recommended of course). If your focus is fat loss, what and how much you eat should be your top priority.

    Thank you Anthony, I'm so glad you made the time to make a video on this topic.

That's a change I made that has made a big difference for me both physically and mentally. And, I'm especially thankful to you for this positive influence because it's a good habit that has been benefiting those around me as well.

    To have a walk after a tough workout are really nice and a way to be active while my heartrate goes down to normal levels again.
    Unfortunately now when there are a lot of snow and raining going on during the wintertime in Scandinavia it doesnt feel like something i wants to do.
    Actually it feels better to do another set of pushups or lunges instead while staying indoor.

    I tell everyone to walk, they look at me like I told them to build a rocket. Walking always helps me lose unwanted weight. Especially early or late at night. People don't want to walk because it's way to ease. Thank you for the video.

    Brilliant. In December I received a fitness watch and started doing 10000 steps minimum most days. I also do calisthenics twice a week (rookie at calisthenics) but having seen this, I am now motivated to push myself harder and go the distance.

    Great video. Over 30 years of gym training, home workouts, and sports, I've always included walking in my routine. It is just as important as training and sports in my opinion and has a lot of affects on mental well being, the nervous system, as well as cardiovascular health. We were born to walk. You take 30,000 people who exercise 2 hours a day who walk, and 30,000 who also train 2 hours a day and don't walk, the difference in health outcomes will be surprising.

    100% agree. It’s my go-to with clients. But when you’re trying to get past 10k it’s really tough to find the time. Not everyone can work while walking, nor have the time. 15,000 steps can take easily 2.5 hours. If people are pressed for time, they can wear a weighted pack, walk faster or the best solution - incline treadmill. But then you’re not outside!
    Great videos, my friend 💪

      depends on the total stress you want to place on the CNS as well, as I get older I am looking at balancing hard, heavy weight training with alternate days of active recovery. I use walking as my go-to active recovery option getting 7-8500 steps on off days.

    WOW, During the Spring, and fall when weather is great 4000 steps 5 days a week melts the fat off of me. Being 80lbs overweight after a year sitting home and eating lots of sugar from depression forced to close my business of 35 years I didn’t care if I dropped dead. I felt I deserved to eat all this sugar because it brought me a tiny amount of pleasure. But enough was enough. Diet alone didn’t drop the weight. I had to start walking. 2 miles a day or 10-12 miles a week. Starting with 1/2 mile. With in a couple months I was doing 2 miles daily and looking forward to walking. I was upset if for what ever reason I couldn’t walk that day. But now we are open again and it’s super stressful all the more reason to walk I am doing indoor activity to stay fit. But the walks will return in another month. (Fingers crossed the snow melts) Learning to Deep Breathe and hold on the intake and slowly release to empty the lungs. I believe something is better then nothing and sometimes you are not really into it but once you start you may surprise yourself. And yes, the body needs rest. We’re all different and not the models we see in the media. I took a good look around my full restaurant of people and took a good hard look around all ages and no one resembled a the perfect description of a perfect person. Yet, they were all still perfect in their individual ways. Right?

      Hi G, here's my advice.... every day focus on the following: movement, good sleep, believing that everything will slowly improve, but also put in some work that will get you a step close to your goal (one step closer is enough). And everything else will fall into place gradually :)

    I love this! At my most fit and active, I was in a job that I would get on average 13k steps a day. I've since moved into an office job, had foot surgery, and work from home. I'm lucky if I get 2k steps a day currently, and have gained a considerable amount of weight (70ish pounds in just a year and a half). I've never been one for the gym but I LOVE walking. I've walked 20+ miles in a day before, just for fun. So, once I am fully mobile after my foot heals, I am getting back to my love for walking! I wish I lived somewhere as beautiful (and cold) as you, but we make do with what we have!

The notion of making eating right and exercising a lifestyle not a task or something temporary, is the best advice...it's not easy but it's worth it.

    I’m finding your channel inspirational as I’ve had to discontinue distance running which I’ve been doing for years. Distance running is such a simple and very Zen way to maintain physique and cardio. After the third herniated disc (L4 L5 C1) event In five years I made that decision. If you’ve ever rehabbed from sciatic nerve pain you’ll know exactly what I mean.
    While I still tear around full bore on the tennis court, my chest/abdominal physique is heading south without the running. So Looking forward to discovering new ways to Replace running with things that are easier on my lower back.
    Gracias, Doug
