@@mikester9er - Because I didn't walk enough the last 2 years, I died 3 times. So I'm going to start walking more this year and hopefully I'll die less often over the next few years.
@@Kboges Your channel helped me make calisthenics a habit. I have a basic and simple exercise template for working out consistently. Thank you for sharing your exercise principles and knowledge!
@@michaelp7714 hello. I basically copy pasted K boges calisthenics workout lol It is three sets of a variation of push, pull and squat body weight exercises. For example, three sets of push-ups to near failure, three sets of inverted row to near failure, and three sets of squat to near failure. I swap the exercises out with a variation to slightly hit the muscles in a different way. I lift weights maybe once or twice too, usually on weekend. I don’t take a rest day but an easy day if I feel fatigued or need it. It’s based on how I feel that day. I just cut the reps usually do in half.
I was walking 5 days a week for 1 hour a few weeks ago. Believe me when I tell you the more you walk the less stressed you will be. The human body was designed to walk. The health benefits we get from consistently walking are tremendous 👌
I started walking 1hr 15 minutes to work every day. People were perplexed. When I started talking about what it has done anecdotally for me mentally by walking through forests and listening to some great podcasts, I had 3 friends jump on board. Little things make all the difference, and in my case walking to work has only been beneficial for me.
This is so cool, Owen. Such a simple intervention, but one you can feel almost immediately. Fast forward a decade, and you will have accumulated so much walking. It will keep you fit and mentally healthy. Awesome stuff! Keep at it.
Walking is the best low intensity cardio for me. It will not affect tge recovery since its not taxing on the CNS, and the perk of walking is you can go to the place u wanna go while getting healthier. I used to do long walks as a leisure with my friends and its so fun. Thanks for another great vid, coach kyle!
Never walked the length of myself , then my wife dragged me on the West Highland Way in Scotland, 96 miles and I enjoyed every step!!!!!Learned about meditative walking too!!!Awesome👍🏻
This channel is wicked. Simplicity is best. I was at my fittest when I started with extremely narrow knowledge. Push-ups, Squats and pullups at the park only, plus walking an hour to university 5 days a week. Once I started watching fitness stuff on the internet and working a desk job, I was saturated with junk information leading to a massive dip in motivation and results. This channel is all someone needs. There's a reason people were fit before barbells and machines. Simple is king
@@Gambin27 You just go outside and walk ;). Ofc you can try to put some steps here and there during a day, but most people can't get near 20k without intentional "workout".
I have a little 2mi trail near my house and getting into the habit of visiting it most days of the week (25-45min, maybe walk, maybe run some) is worth nearly 10k steps on top of regular activities. Morning or after dinner, find what suits you.
@@Gambin27 I live in a large city and use public transport to get to work. That itself accounts for about 6-7k steps. I also walk an hour after dinner each day which is another 4-5k steps. The rest of the steps are from general daily activity. I also go hiking on weekends.
Walking is one the keys that has definitely helped me. You can get so much done at the same time: Vit D exposure, light cardio, deep breathing, meditation / prayer, experiencing nature, stress relief. It’s the easiest way to start getting active.
After my spinal injury I can't do any physical exercises other than walking. After spending months just walking, I noticed the difference it makes for mental health along with physical health. It gives a break and time to process things. It also works like meditation.
When I was 13 years old I was overweight because of my unhealthy nutrition habits and sedentary lifestyle. I never liked sports and struggled to stay consistent with exercise. One day I just started walking everyday for an hour. I though it wasn't much but it was better than not doing nothing. Today I'm 19 years old and I feel in the Best shape of my life. I practice a lot of calisthenics and try to go for a walk everyday. I'm lean and I don't struggle that much with diet. I really think that walking started all of this, it was the first thing I decided to do for my health by myself. I never imagined being so deep into fitness as i've been for the last years
So simple but so important. This channel is such a wave of fresh air from all the confusion and over-complicated talks about fitness. Watching Kyle's videos has been a eye-opener and a game-changer for me in my fitness journey. Thank you and keep it up!
Thomas! This is so kind, brother! Thank you for the kind words and it makes me really happy to hear the content has connected with you! Thank you for the support!
Yes keep it simple. Simple, direct AND effective. As Bruce Lee once said. Animals ALL walk. Lots! From ants and spiders, to cats, dogs, giraffes and even birds. Lol. Yes they mainly fly. But do move around once they land. As they go pecking for food.
Walking, running, calisthenics. All can be done anywhere, anytime, and do not require equipment yet give you amazing benefits both mentally and physically. P.S This is an awesome channel!
Just went through a breakup. It’s been really hard but I found this channel around the same time and it’s helped me a lot. I’m a big believer in calisthenics but during my relationship I barely worked out. Now I’m using these negative feelings from the breakup to pursue it again, starting with the basics of walking, squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and the horse stance (thanks to you!). Thank you sir, I’m just some stranger from New Zealand but your videos are a tremendous help and motivator, not to mention how you validate my own beliefs of fitness through your videos. 🙏🏻
Love how you make the simple basic stuff seem so interesting,it's what we need,to many people looking for the next 'best way to burn body fat' we already have all the tools,we just stopped using them
I just want to say how much I appreciate your no BS, no fluff, honest instruction in these videos. There are so many different motivations for getting into shape but not all of them promote longevity and mental health. This core shift that you bring to the philosophy behind working out is so important. Put away the fads and the vanity, and strive for overall physical and mental health. Ultimately that's going to provide the most joy in life which is the deeper reason we all want to be fit, really.
I was in the best shape of my life back when I was forced to walk to the places that I needed to go (long story). I’ve put on a ton of weight since then and I think I may start a daily walking regimen. It’s so easy compared to anything else including the treadmill and Peloton. I haven’t been using those anyway so walking will be a big improvement. Thanks for the motivation. Calisthenics will be up next.
Started going out for an evening 45min to an hour walk along the waterfront before bed. Really great way to just clear your head and have a great night's rest. The health benefits are a great bonus✌️
Yeah so much this. I've recently upped my daily walking to a minimum of 10km. It's cardio, muscle building, posture improvement, and meditation all rolled into one. The most human thing you can do.
Don't forget the importance of walking on uneven surfaces as much as possible! There's a world of difference between a "hike" on (or better still, off) a trail and slapping along on pavement (or any hard, groomed surface). It may be as little as walking on the grass instead of the sidewalk as much as possible, but your dogs have the right idea there, choosing the sandy beach. Not only is it infinitely better for your physiology, it lights your brain up having to judge each step. That connection will make you more nimble and resilient now, and perhaps prevent you breaking a hip later in life.
Another great video Kyle, with arthritis in both my knees, walking is my go to form of cardio, 3 to 4 miles, 5 times a week, doesn't drain my recovery like other forms of cardio did when my knees were healthy, and my body has a overall great feeling after my walks.
Man, you've been such an inspiration and help for me. I'm just now getting back on exercising more and taking care of myself, ever since the pandemic began. I was super overwhelmed when I started looking for ways to work out at home, with all of these other channels overcomplicating things so much. And then there's you, telling me to just walk more! 🤣 I've implemented a couple of your exercises in my routine, and while it has not even been a month yet, I'm already very satisfied with the work they're putting on my body. Thanks, a lot Kyle! Cheers from 🇧🇷!
Man i just found your channel like a couple days ago. And it's prime content. The reason why it resonates so well with me and others is, I believe, because you really teach a realistic way of staying fit and healthy, an actually sustainable method that one can incorporate in one's daily life.
You are SO excellent! Definitely the finest such channel on UA-cam! This video especially has a superb aesthetic element. Did you design it? I cannot imagine anyone not lowering their blood pressure and slowing their heart rate by watching you walk in that gorgeous terrain and listening to your soothing voice. BIG Bravo!
Thanks Marc! I really appreciate this. I just kind of wing it when it comes to the videos. I have an image of what I want to show, and then I just try to make it happen, but I have no real talent for this stuff, to be honest. Happy to hear you like it though!
I probably walk 2 - 3hrs a day. I structure much of my life around the necessity to do so. It just seems obvious to me, have legs, will walk I love this quote, "walk more, die less!" Thank you
Your channel is amazing. Everything you talk about is focused on sustainability and that's what is most important when it comes to training. Calm, concise delivery of information that can help the average person.
I’ve been trying to walk on our treadmill at a 15% incline, somewhat inconsistently, for the past 3 months. It does take some time to recover but since my schedule is pretty cramped I figured that I can get more out of the session if I pump the incline. I’ve been trying to get outside more but we live in a rough metropolitan area and the nearest park is about 30 minutes by foot. This might sound stupid but this video encouraged me to go outside. In fact, I’ll go right now.
@@johnodonoghue651 in theory, you are right John. But try living in Arizona this time of year. Any idea of a long walk this time of year in this hotbox is out of the question.
@@kaypie3112 put on a hat and long sleeves, sip water with sea salt the whole time. The elevated heat range will elevate your heart rate and you'll sweat out more impurities. Listen to spiritual book audios to take your mind off things if the scenery does not keep you occupied. Walk at night or early morning. Don't make excuses
I love that you aren't focused on building muscles all the time but also focus on health and fitness... A muscular body without health is useless... I'll keep this advice in mind... Thanks...
Hey BAR! I love the old school physical culture outlook on that. Our bodies are a reflection of our health, but health is first. Without it, physique doesn't matter at all.
I am a runner, and I have to say I sometimes enjoy walking better. You can go farther with walking without doing as much damage on your ligaments and joints as with running long distances. Walking is also easier on the mindset, as to not always be concerned about pace and finish time.
Besides being good for the body, walking (outdoors, not on a treadmill) is an amazing activity that makes one a “more human” human being. Blunt as it may sound, it’s good for the heart and for the soul, as many great writers and thinkers pointed out. The sense of well being and clarity after a long walk is hard to match. Thanks for reminding us of its importance. Thanks for this video!
Just found this channel. As an Olympic Weightlifting Gold Medalist I don’t buy into 90% of what’s on UA-cam. This guy is spot on. People over think,skip the basics and fundamentals in hopes of a easy answer. Thank you for putting the truth on here. I’m going to follow you to 10% body fat. Thank you!!
Oh my god it's like you can read my choices😂I just started walking 10k steps daily(started on July 1).I plan on increasing my steps by 5k every week(not realistic but I'd like to try LOL)I'm 21,i do bodyweight workouts thanks to you .Thank you Mr K!
I love walking for its health and mental health benefits. I enjoy walking after my meals to aid with digestion, blood sugar regulation, and nutrient partitioning. I love Stan Efferding's concept of the 10 minute walk as well, although I try to take a long brisk walk as often as I can.
So on point as usual! It is no accident that in America, where people barely walk and drive everywhere (like to a gym to WALK ON A TREADMILL???) we have overwhelming numbers of people with metabolic and mental disease. When I travelled to developing countries where people are forced to walk and cycle everywhere, their health and happiness per capita is much higher than ours despite "substandard" nutrition and health care. Walking especially in the woods or on the beach does amazing things for mental well being as well. Thanks again K!
Walking is the most underrated form of exercise there is. I'd preach it as a religion if I could. 💯 But people write it off because it's too basic. **I still think people should do some form of more intense cardio like sprinting a few days per week. But for the most part, daily walking is actually plenty.
That walking form is immaculate, perfect straight back. Observing the environment every 5-10 seconds, with a steady stride, his technique is exemplary. On a more serious note, I will be walking more and telling my close ones about this.
Agreed man! I'm happy that someone is putting this to spotlight, instead of running and crazy athletic routines which are not suitable for average person. Last year I did around 750km of fast walking in about 6 months. Rocking the same thing this year. Great content, happy to see more! :D
Dude that's awesome! I agree. No one really likes to talk about walking on UA-cam fitness because it's not nearly as flashy as HIIT and some of the other things. Most people in the HIIT exercise classes would be better served by going for walks consistently.
@@Kboges Flashy is the perfect word haha. Most of them are teaching fast pace and quick results, which are non-sustainable. You rarely see long term tactics and mentality out there. Summer body vs lifelong temple. Hence the awesomeness of your channel !
Great videos and advice! Do you stretch before and after workouts and/or on days off? Would love to see a video about stretching - overrated or underrated, especially when it comes to longevity. Thanks for the videos and the motivation!
“Walk more, die less” man I had to chuckle when I heard that. But yet another greatly informative video KB. So my only question is. What is a good time limit to set for yourself when it comes to walking? Is an hour a day good to start? I don’t have a car so I commute to and from work by train everyday so I do get a good amount of walking time in and I feel as though my thoughts flow better when I’m walking than when I am sedentary.
This is true asf. I've also been walking and even standing for years while training and it's one of the most manageable and simply healthy way of maintaining good health and well being
Wow we are out today! I just bought the applications course btw, really dig it. Hey, do you think spreading your workout across the day (1 set of push up in the morning, then noon, then evening) builds as much muscles and doing it in one workout? Since the muscle is not as pushed when spreading the sets. Cheers!
Hey omni! I think it can work great by keeping your movement quality high, allowing you to approach high efforts and high less of your performance. I trained like that all through grad school, if I remember correctly.
Hey Kyle, great video! Could you make a video about training outside in winter? I‘m from germany and don‘t have an opportunity to train calisthenics inside all the time. I do have a great set of bars outside near the place i will move to. But since germany can be a cold and rainy place, especially in the autumn/winter months, it‘s hard to motivate and especially warm up properly
Ahhh god question. To be honest, I have no authority on the subject... always pretty warm where I'm at. I know a lot goes into training in the cold, but honestly I've never done it, so I can't speak from a place of experience.
@@Kboges I'm also from Germany. What I do in winter is running in the cold. So this is of course only for your cardio part but it strengthens your immune system incredibly. I'm just curious but where do you live @K boges ?, it always looks so nice over there :D
It's really easy to buy or build a chin-up bar and dip bars indoors, or to place a mount for gym rings. Your main obstacle would be if your space is really small or if you have to work around the irrational complaints of a woman who needs "her' space to look like a photo from a decoration catalog.
I walk 5 miles everyday no matter the weather. Doing this plus frequent calisthenic workouts have me in the best shape of my life. I highly recommend it!
Simply look at images of people in cultures around the world. The people are slim, muscular and look like athletes. These people don't "exercise," they get exercise by walking and doing their daily activities. They squat and don't sit, they walk and don't run, they move and aren't sedentary. They sleep, laugh, and food is for life not for pleasure (just saying they're not gluttonous). Americans specifically are soo brainwashed to think they need more to achieve what they want. Less going to a gym, less stuffing your face, less computer and TV, less stress, less anger, less medicine, less now instead of gradual for life
Nothing fancy, just no frills attached aides to good health. I do the same lately. Weighted walk with dog for 20 mins. Lifestyle walk parking farthest at work, walk breaks when colleagues have smoking breaks and stairs wherever possible. Thank you for the reminder.
Walking has got to be the most underrated activity out there. I always found there's nothing quite like a hike to work up an appetite. Great videos, keep up the incredible work
People deeper people that can't read people that are illiterate to how to use a computer your videos your videos are amazing and so are you have a great you're forever subscriber Mike.
I walk EVERYWHERE as I live in a big city and people think Im nuts! Minimum 15k steps a day, working on the calisthenics piece more and more, thank you for your content! Blessings from Barcelona
Thanks for the amazing content, I started the Push Pull Leg program two weeks ago after watching some of your earlier videos. I'm obviously a beginner but I'm feeling way better, both physically and mentally. Luckily walking has always been the norm for me, usually to "digest" a long day at the office while listening to some music. It has been the one thing that kept me sort of in shape.
Enjoy the training, Edwin! Good to hear you have a walking habit in place already. It's a great way to end the day. I do something very similar; I always finish the day with a walk with my wife a daughter.
@@Kboges That sounds great, especially with the scenery you have there, it's by far the best way to wind down. I do the groceries walking, really limits the amount of stuff you buy and it's also a little exercise in its own right (the carrying). This means you have to do the groceries more often and thus you walk more. On a side note, I was looking for a donation link but could not find one. Based on how positive most of your viewers are I think some may want to show their appreciation that way. If I'm just blind please let me know where it is ;) Otherwise if you don't want that then again the effort you put into the videos and also the short concise no bullshit format is helpful and motivational, especially for beginners!
This channel is amazing. As someone who works in gaming, I do a lot of sitting for long periods of time. These videos that you’ve created have helped me truly change my lifestyle, and I am sincerely thankful for them! 👍👍👍
Love this message. I'm back at the office two days a week and have started doing walking meetings, it's raised a couple of eyebrows but I don't care as long as I hit the 10k haha
Great video! I live in a city and get around mostly by bicycle or motorcycle. I’ve been doing some 5-10 mile walks lately through the same areas I cycle. You get more details about the environment while walking. I like that when I walk my senses are taking in my immediate surroundings. Where on the bike these interesting people, places, sights, sounds and smells are a more of a blur.
I dropped more weight from walking than I ever have from running. I also felt like I could cause injury from running. I no longer run. Strength training and walking are now my go to. I walk 2 hours each time minimum 3 days a week. It’s awesome.
Thanks for another great video and the encouragement to walk even more. My BW Squats make for easy walking on hilly terrain. I learned that right here on the Kboges channel.
Great video, Kyle, and thanks for this treatment of walking. Adding a walk after each meal a few months ago improved just about everything for me. Surely would love to see a similar treatment of running.
Great Video. Three month ago i quit playing Video games and some more of my unhealthy habits. I tried to be as activ as possible during the day. It became a habit and now there are not many things i enjoy more than just going for a walk in the forrest. Go outside and witness the beauty of our nature (and reality) … greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
near my home in Edmonton is a park named Emily Murphy, It includeds an 8 minute incline along with 200 steps to return to level ground. During this walk, I include TVA crunches to strength my abs along with my core. In total, it is a 15 minute cycle which can be done morning or evening. It is a simple pleasure to be added to ones life. FYI I do not use ear buds for music as the birds provide their own music in real time ;) Thanks K for the video
Just a question Ive been improving slowly with the Calisthenics training and was wondering if 4 days of Calisthenics a week is sufficient? Because personally I love running and would like to keep that as part of my routine but if I run after I do my calisthenics workout I feel very very exhausted by the end. As I get better I could maybe tweak that and will be able to implement it.
This channel is so amazing, dude you should do a video about biking, I’ve been biking for few months now with proper straight back form my lower back and muscles around knees strengthened so much I feel like I have bionic knees now it’s great
Thanks! I live about 20 mints east of here just outside the city, but my wife and I love to walk down by the ocean. Such a beautiful spot, but the housing prices are completely astronomical. 😂

There's a world of difference between a "hike" on (or better still, off) a trail and slapping along on pavement (or any hard, groomed surface). It may be as little as walking on the grass instead of the sidewalk as much as possible, but your dogs have the right idea there, choosing the sandy beach. Not only is it infinitely better for your physiology, it lights your brain up having to judge each step. That connection will make you more nimble and resilient now, and perhaps prevent you breaking a hip later in life.
Great points and great comment, CSN!
Another great video Kyle, with arthritis in both my knees, walking is my go to form of cardio, 3 to 4 miles, 5 times a week, doesn't drain my recovery like other forms of cardio did when my knees were healthy, and my body has a overall great feeling after my walks.
Dean! Great to hear form you!
Walking is the best man. I love it. If it feels good, keep at it, my friend!🙏
Man, you've been such an inspiration and help for me. I'm just now getting back on exercising more and taking care of myself, ever since the pandemic began. I was super overwhelmed when I started looking for ways to work out at home, with all of these other channels overcomplicating things so much. And then there's you, telling me to just walk more! 🤣 I've implemented a couple of your exercises in my routine, and while it has not even been a month yet, I'm already very satisfied with the work they're putting on my body. Thanks, a lot Kyle! Cheers from 🇧🇷!
Dude thank you for sharing this! Amazing stuff! Keep at it, take your time, and make it a habit. It will serve you well.
Awesome! Congrats, and keep it up!
Man i just found your channel like a couple days ago. And it's prime content.
The reason why it resonates so well with me and others is, I believe, because you really teach a realistic way of staying fit and healthy, an actually sustainable method that one can incorporate in one's daily life.
You are SO excellent! Definitely the finest such channel on UA-cam! This video especially has a superb aesthetic element. Did you design it? I cannot imagine anyone not lowering their blood pressure and slowing their heart rate by watching you walk in that gorgeous terrain and listening to your soothing voice. BIG Bravo!
Thanks Marc! I really appreciate this. I just kind of wing it when it comes to the videos. I have an image of what I want to show, and then I just try to make it happen, but I have no real talent for this stuff, to be honest. Happy to hear you like it though!
this is the best channel on fitness on youtube. no BS - no frills. just straight up TRUTHS w great commentary.
Thank you, Josef!
I probably walk 2 - 3hrs a day. I structure much of my life around the necessity to do so. It just seems obvious to me, have legs, will walk
I love this quote, "walk more, die less!"
Thank you
Great outlook, Nate!
Your channel is amazing. Everything you talk about is focused on sustainability and that's what is most important when it comes to training. Calm, concise delivery of information that can help the average person.
Thank you, Bayaz!
I’ve been trying to walk on our treadmill at a 15% incline, somewhat inconsistently, for the past 3 months. It does take some time to recover but since my schedule is pretty cramped I figured that I can get more out of the session if I pump the incline. I’ve been trying to get outside more but we live in a rough metropolitan area and the nearest park is about 30 minutes by foot. This might sound stupid but this video encouraged me to go outside. In fact, I’ll go right now.
@@johnodonoghue651 in theory, you are right John.
But try living in Arizona this time of year. Any idea of a long walk this time of year in this hotbox is out of the question.
@@kaypie3112 go early
@@kaypie3112 put on a hat and long sleeves, sip water with sea salt the whole time. The elevated heat range will elevate your heart rate and you'll sweat out more impurities. Listen to spiritual book audios to take your mind off things if the scenery does not keep you occupied. Walk at night or early morning. Don't make excuses
I love that you aren't focused on building muscles all the time but also focus on health and fitness... A muscular body without health is useless...
I'll keep this advice in mind... Thanks...
Hey BAR! I love the old school physical culture outlook on that. Our bodies are a reflection of our health, but health is first. Without it, physique doesn't matter at all.
I am a runner, and I have to say I sometimes enjoy walking better. You can go farther with walking without doing as much damage on your ligaments and joints as with running long distances. Walking is also easier on the mindset, as to not always be concerned about pace and finish time.
Yeah it's such a relaxing mode of exercise.
I really like these shorter-form videos. By being so concise you're making your videos really information-dense. Good stuff
Thanks! Yeah that's my goal with these; keep then short and to the point.
Your content is so good and relatable thankyou for being here ❤️
Thank you for the support!
Love how straight to the point and no bs you are. Keep it up
Thank you, Alex!
Besides being good for the body, walking (outdoors, not on a treadmill) is an amazing activity that makes one a “more human” human being.
Blunt as it may sound, it’s good for the heart and for the soul, as many great writers and thinkers pointed out.
The sense of well being and clarity after a long walk is hard to match.
Thanks for reminding us of its importance.
Thanks for this video!
Stay nerf
I love this comment! 100% agree
Just found this channel. As an Olympic Weightlifting Gold Medalist I don’t buy into 90% of what’s on UA-cam. This guy is spot on. People over think,skip the basics and fundamentals in hopes of a easy answer. Thank you for putting the truth on here. I’m going to follow you to 10% body fat. Thank you!!
Wow! Thank you, Kenneth! That's an amazing comment. Much appreciated for the support🙏💪
Oh my god it's like you can read my choices😂I just started walking 10k steps daily(started on July 1).I plan on increasing my steps by 5k every week(not realistic but I'd like to try LOL)I'm 21,i do bodyweight workouts thanks to you .Thank you Mr K!
John Wick! That's going to be amazing. I love it.
@@Kboges ❤️❤️
I'm a recent subscriber and I just want you to know that I love your messages, they are always positive and helpful. Keep up the great work.
Peter, this is super kind! Much appreciated, my friend. This kind feedback means a lot. 🙏
Walk more, die less. Words of wisdom.
Thanks, Carl!
This is so important and true. When people ask me my fitness secret I say "I lose most of my pounds in the streets of Manhattan".
I love it! That's the way to go, Aniruddha!
I love walking for its health and mental health benefits. I enjoy walking after my meals to aid with digestion, blood sugar regulation, and nutrient partitioning. I love Stan Efferding's concept of the 10 minute walk as well, although I try to take a long brisk walk as often as I can.
Same! The post meal walk is incredible.
So on point as usual! It is no accident that in America, where people barely walk and drive everywhere (like to a gym to WALK ON A TREADMILL???) we have overwhelming numbers of people with metabolic and mental disease. When I travelled to developing countries where people are forced to walk and cycle everywhere, their health and happiness per capita is much higher than ours despite "substandard" nutrition and health care. Walking especially in the woods or on the beach does amazing things for mental well being as well. Thanks again K!
Glad this channel is growing so much, also that looks like a beautiful part of the world
Thanks Judge!
San Diego is a pretty cool place. Beautiful weather and scenery.
It's a shame all those boats clutter up the view. Like an ugly fiberglass city dropped into a nice coastal landscape.
Love the approach of looking at things through an "evolutionary lens".
Fitness, and many other aspects of life just start to make natural sense.
It really does. It can make it much easier to fit the pieces together.
Walking is the most underrated form of exercise there is. I'd preach it as a religion if I could. 💯 But people write it off because it's too basic.
**I still think people should do some form of more intense cardio like sprinting a few days per week. But for the most part, daily walking is actually plenty.
Yeah exactly. I'm 100% with you on all that. Walk daily, sprint a few ties per week. You will be good.
That walking form is immaculate, perfect straight back. Observing the environment every 5-10 seconds, with a steady stride, his technique is exemplary. On a more serious note, I will be walking more and telling my close ones about this.
you can tell by the grace and confidence that hes going commando with lightly powdered testicles swinging freely, its beautiful to watch
Agreed man! I'm happy that someone is putting this to spotlight, instead of running and crazy athletic routines which are not suitable for average person.
Last year I did around 750km of fast walking in about 6 months. Rocking the same thing this year.
Great content, happy to see more! :D
Dude that's awesome! I agree. No one really likes to talk about walking on UA-cam fitness because it's not nearly as flashy as HIIT and some of the other things. Most people in the HIIT exercise classes would be better served by going for walks consistently.
@@Kboges Flashy is the perfect word haha. Most of them are teaching fast pace and quick results, which are non-sustainable.
You rarely see long term tactics and mentality out there. Summer body vs lifelong temple.
Hence the awesomeness of your channel !
You put it in the right way...great...words on point...
Thank you, Dirk!
Great videos and advice! Do you stretch before and after workouts and/or on days off? Would love to see a video about stretching - overrated or underrated, especially when it comes to longevity.
Thanks for the videos and the motivation!
what a coincidance, I rarely leave just for a walk but I just arrived from a 1hr walk and this video is recommended to me
I love when that happens. Synchronicity
“Walk more, die less” man I had to chuckle when I heard that. But yet another greatly informative video KB. So my only question is. What is a good time limit to set for yourself when it comes to walking? Is an hour a day good to start?
I don’t have a car so I commute to and from work by train everyday so I do get a good amount of walking time in and I feel as though my thoughts flow better when I’m walking than when I am sedentary.
This is true asf. I've also been walking and even standing for years while training and it's one of the most manageable and simply healthy way of maintaining good health and well being
Exactly!
Walking is really good
I love it!
If this is where you live, holy shit what a beautiful scenary! You are blessed, my friend.
Hey Marco! It's in San Diego. Point Loma area.
@@Kboges Absolutely Gorgeous!!
Due to nervousness I got so much into walking as a way to calm myself that now it's hard for me to stay motionless.
Good to know it works well for me.
Walking regularly greatly improved my health... there is something to it thats deeply engraved in human physiology and psychology.
Totally. It’s such a part of our DNA.
Wow we are out today! I just bought the applications course btw, really dig it. Hey, do you think spreading your workout across the day (1 set of push up in the morning, then noon, then evening) builds as much muscles and doing it in one workout? Since the muscle is not as pushed when spreading the sets. Cheers!
Hey omni! I think it can work great by keeping your movement quality high, allowing you to approach high efforts and high less of your performance. I trained like that all through grad school, if I remember correctly.
You are blessed with a very pretty backyard. Respect to your pal, walking 2 paces behind an filming!
I am, thank you. This is one of my favorite walking spots. About a 20 minute drive west of my place.
Hey Kyle, great video!
Could you make a video about training outside in winter? I‘m from germany and don‘t have an opportunity to train calisthenics inside all the time. I do have a great set of bars outside near the place i will move to. But since germany can be a cold and rainy place, especially in the autumn/winter months, it‘s hard to motivate and especially warm up properly
Ahhh god question. To be honest, I have no authority on the subject... always pretty warm where I'm at. I know a lot goes into training in the cold, but honestly I've never done it, so I can't speak from a place of experience.
@@Kboges I'm also from Germany. What I do in winter is running in the cold. So this is of course only for your cardio part but it strengthens your immune system incredibly.
I'm just curious but where do you live @K boges ?, it always looks so nice over there :D
@K boges alright, thanks for the honesty :)
It's really easy to buy or build a chin-up bar and dip bars indoors, or to place a mount for gym rings. Your main obstacle would be if your space is really small or if you have to work around the irrational complaints of a woman who needs "her' space to look like a photo from a decoration catalog.
@@lululx3760 just buy a pull up bar and some rings or dip bars
Awesome video. I often feel like my mind is the most free when I'm walking, and that's also when I have my best ideas.
SAME!
I walk 5 miles everyday no matter the weather. Doing this plus frequent calisthenic workouts have me in the best shape of my life. I highly recommend it!
So cool to hear, Khaliq! Keep at it and you will be in shape your whole life!
Just came back from an hour and a half walk outside and then see you upload. Must be the universe speaking to me telling me I'm on the right path lol.
I love when that happens, D B!
Simply look at images of people in cultures around the world. The people are slim, muscular and look like athletes. These people don't "exercise," they get exercise by walking and doing their daily activities. They squat and don't sit, they walk and don't run, they move and aren't sedentary. They sleep, laugh, and food is for life not for pleasure (just saying they're not gluttonous).
Americans specifically are soo brainwashed to think they need more to achieve what they want. Less going to a gym, less stuffing your face, less computer and TV, less stress, less anger, less medicine, less now instead of gradual for life
100% on all this, Nate. GREAT comment!
Nothing fancy, just no frills attached aides to good health. I do the same lately. Weighted walk with dog for 20 mins. Lifestyle walk parking farthest at work, walk breaks when colleagues have smoking breaks and stairs wherever possible. Thank you for the reminder.
Walking has got to be the most underrated activity out there. I always found there's nothing quite like a hike to work up an appetite. Great videos, keep up the incredible work
Agreed! It's amazing exercise!
Thank you for this!! You’re content is honestly the best fitness channel ❤️
Thanks, Brandon! Thats a huge compliment! Much appreciated!🙏
People deeper people that can't read people that are illiterate to how to use a computer your videos your videos are amazing and so are you have a great you're forever subscriber Mike.
Great info! Walking is great for both mental and physical health and it is something that people can do daily
Exactly, Keith!
With such natural beauty around.. walking becomes pleasurable. This place must be amongst the top scenic places in the 🌏💯
I walk EVERYWHERE as I live in a big city and people think Im nuts! Minimum 15k steps a day, working on the calisthenics piece more and more, thank you for your content! Blessings from Barcelona
Hell yea Happy Sunday 🫡 y’all. Because of this I’ll definitely be getting my 10k Steps today
Enjoy those 10k step!🙏
Thanks for the amazing content, I started the Push Pull Leg program two weeks ago after watching some of your earlier videos. I'm obviously a beginner but I'm feeling way better, both physically and mentally. Luckily walking has always been the norm for me, usually to "digest" a long day at the office while listening to some music. It has been the one thing that kept me sort of in shape.
Enjoy the training, Edwin! Good to hear you have a walking habit in place already. It's a great way to end the day. I do something very similar; I always finish the day with a walk with my wife a daughter.
@@Kboges That sounds great, especially with the scenery you have there, it's by far the best way to wind down. I do the groceries walking, really limits the amount of stuff you buy and it's also a little exercise in its own right (the carrying). This means you have to do the groceries more often and thus you walk more.
On a side note, I was looking for a donation link but could not find one. Based on how positive most of your viewers are I think some may want to show their appreciation that way. If I'm just blind please let me know where it is ;) Otherwise if you don't want that then again the effort you put into the videos and also the short concise no bullshit format is helpful and motivational, especially for beginners!
Beautiful walking trail you've got there!
This channel is amazing. As someone who works in gaming, I do a lot of sitting for long periods of time. These videos that you’ve created have helped me truly change my lifestyle, and I am sincerely thankful for them! 👍👍👍
So cool to hear and thank you for sharing! Thank you for the support!
Love this message. I'm back at the office two days a week and have started doing walking meetings, it's raised a couple of eyebrows but I don't care as long as I hit the 10k haha
Hahaha Awesome, Marcus! I'm looking forward to hearing about the results!
This channel is gold. Thanks a lot.
Thank you!
Good work brother. Simple yet powerful advice and you get straight to the point.
Thank you, Santana!
It also provides a fantastic opportunity to think deeply and reflect on ourselves ☀️
my favorite fitness UA-camr.
Thank you, brother!
im glad this channel is getting the attention it deserves
Thanks to the support and comments from the people who enjoy it! Thank you, icyclestick!
walking is one of the best recreation known to man, a great way to refresh the mind in solitude and or share time with others
100% truth
Great video! I live in a city and get around mostly by bicycle or motorcycle. I’ve been doing some 5-10 mile walks lately through the same areas I cycle. You get more details about the environment while walking. I like that when I walk my senses are taking in my immediate surroundings. Where on the bike these interesting people, places, sights, sounds and smells are a more of a blur.
Thank you. Good reminder.
Thanks, Vive. Now get out there are walk!🙏😉💪
I dropped more weight from walking than I ever have from running. I also felt like I could cause injury from running. I no longer run. Strength training and walking are now my go to. I walk 2 hours each time minimum 3 days a week. It’s awesome.
You are like a BROTHER THANKS
Thank you, brother!🙏
Thanks for another great video and the encouragement to walk even more. My BW Squats make for easy walking on hilly terrain. I learned that right here on the Kboges channel.
Geoff! It's always me pleasure, brother!
BW squats are amazing for hikes and hilly walks. They make a substantial difference.
You know you're leaving out a lot of people that don't know how to use the computer of a particular age so all we have to hang on to is these videos
Great video, Kyle, and thanks for this treatment of walking. Adding a walk after each meal a few months ago improved just about everything for me. Surely would love to see a similar treatment of running.
Thanks, Steve! The post-meal walk is a necessity!
Running is on the list!
At the days I walk most I feel the best. Walking is the shit. 🌳🚶🌞
Totally. So simple but so effective.
Great Video. Three month ago i quit playing Video games and some more of my unhealthy habits. I tried to be as activ as possible during the day. It became a habit and now there are not many things i enjoy more than just going for a walk in the forrest. Go outside and witness the beauty of our nature (and reality) … greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Supernova, so happy to hear you have started some healthy and productive habits, my friend. Keep it up.
I think it is okay to game. I still play every now and then but to keep it at moderation and add healthy habits.
I just got a ps2 again 😬. Modern gaming sucks though, compared to the 2000s era.
Love your content my man. This inspired me to get out and just walk more
Thank you! So stoked you enjoyed this and find the content useful. I appreciate the support!
"Walk more, die less"...love this channel 👏😅
Glad you like that, Mark!🙏
near my home in Edmonton is a park named Emily Murphy, It includeds an 8 minute incline along with 200 steps to return to level ground. During this walk, I include TVA crunches to strength my abs along with my core. In total, it is a 15 minute cycle which can be done morning or evening. It is a simple pleasure to be added to ones life. FYI I do not use ear buds for music as the birds provide their own music in real time ;) Thanks K for the video
This gives a whole new meaning to 'walk it off'
Just a question Ive been improving slowly with the Calisthenics training and was wondering if 4 days of Calisthenics a week is sufficient? Because personally I love running and would like to keep that as part of my routine but if I run after I do my calisthenics workout I feel very very exhausted by the end. As I get better I could maybe tweak that and will be able to implement it.
Simple yet very powerful
Thank you 🙏
This channel is so amazing, dude you should do a video about biking, I’ve been biking for few months now with proper straight back form my lower back and muscles around knees strengthened so much I feel like I have bionic knees now it’s great
What an unbelievably beautiful place to live!
Thanks! I live about 20 mints east of here just outside the city, but my wife and I love to walk down by the ocean. Such a beautiful spot, but the housing prices are completely astronomical. 😂
@@Kboges I can imagine. Close enough!
