Hello, curious to know what weight you started at ? My goal is to lose 47 pounds and have lost 37 pounds in 5 months , I’m having trouble losing the last 10 pounds and want to lose them before my 6month mark which is March 12 .
@@Reyes.2100 good morning, sure man I was at my heaviest 330lbs and lost 50lbs. It helps that I’m tall over 6ft so I look less obese than I am however I felt the difference and still have alot more to lose. If I could give you advice so as to keep you motivated and not lose your momentum do the math first for how much a man your height and weight burns calories per walking distance and multiply that by how many calories per hour you lose to see how many lbs you can lose per week and how long then I’ll take you to reach your goal weight. I was burning healthily 4.5lbs per week and still with a cheat meal one day out of the week following what’s referred to as CICO. Best of luck man you got this 💪🏽
@@deathuponusalll thank you for the reply & thank you very much for the kind words. It really means a lot (: & im short for a man at 5’4 and started at 187lbs but now at 150. I really hope to be back here in a month and say I did it exactly by the time I did . & this last month imma try to walk 5k or 10k steps more than I have to give it all I possibly can !! 🫡
@@Reyes.2100 sure thing man! Glad I could help and also self compassion goes a long way, practice it and forgive yourself if you make mistakes but don’t let them stop you from reaching your goals. Also even if you go all out and you don’t get the results you want by the timeline you want ,forgive yourself no one is perfect ,reassess where you’re at and keep going ,remember slow and steady wins the race
Amazing! You've condensed the solution to a healthy lifestyle for most people in a four-minute video. Two hours a day, less than 10% of the 24 hours we have is about right in my experience and it is time well spent. Thank you.
Excellent comment. A healthy lifestyle condensed. Very few people talk about these things when you exit the health and lifestyle landscape. Like he said we are our best when we are in motion.
I have been taking the car to get my daughter to kindergarten (mostly because of laziness, because the kindergarten is 5min by car and 15-20 min by foot depending on my daughter) and this is the video that helped me to push over to taking her by foot from now on. Today she used her little scooter and I jogged or ran beside her. This alone adds 20-30 min exercise to my daily routine so I think I am going to keep it going :)
one trick i learned was you can add audiobooks to walks if you need entertainment while walking but keep it just when you walk. once i got used to walking and it was not a serious effort to walk the trail out where i live i found myself wanting to walk more because i liked the book i was listening to and my mind associated the action of listening to the story with the walking. so i would substitue tv or movies that were sit down with another walk to get farther into the book.
thank you just found your channel, this is exactly what I need. I'm 62 over weight and a diabetic. I started walking 4 weeks ago and have made good progress. I'll be watching and taking your examples of practice.
This man sounds like me, exactly. His comments really made me laugh....cause I know exactly what he's talking about. I'm 60 and have been lifting and doing HIIT training, and walking and yoga since 1997, and having a blast. I do very brief but very intense lifting (one day per week)....one very intense HIIT cardio session per week, and walk about 10 hours per week if I can do it, but usually I end up with about 7 hours per week of walking. That, and a whole foods diet, and some good weight and waist tracking, and it keeps me lean and on point. I also stay away from television and only kind of follow sports. You look great my friend. Cheers!
I have walked an hour a day / 3.2 miles for the last six months, and go to the gym and lift weights three times a week. As of today, I have lost 50 pounds and feel so much better. He is right, steady state cardio = walking is fantastic for losing weight and reducing stress...
I walked 5+ miles every day for 16 months straight. I then moved to a weight program with HIIT called Lift4. I did that for several months. I then bought a home gym and I do more serious lifting. I feel I need to start purposeful walking again. There are 3 days a week I do not strength train. I enjoy walking on our road, but unfortunately, this time of year it is dark when I get home. Luckily there is an indoor mall on the way home where I can walk around the structure outside. Not to be forgotten is that I will be 53 in the next month. I was about 48 when I started this entire journey.
I've espoused the great benefits of daily walking and yoga to so many people (young & old), only to get crazy looks. I've also been known to be, what I call, a water evangelist. Still more eye rolls, lol. But it's great to hear more support for this path to sustained health is growing. Thanks for another great video. ❤
I like that you get real when you mention giving up some things, essentially useless entertainment, is the price we pay for self-improvement. Very true. People are so quick to claim they have no time to exercise and eat healthily and yet they spend hours on their devices watching others live. It's all about your values. New subscriber.
I was laid off last month and I go walking everyday now, but I've been sitting, working from home even before the pandemic. Glad I found this channel. Ive been stretching as of last week after realizing how tight, restricted, and weak I am from sitting so much.
Have a cold right now so I can't exercise or walk much, but I've still been doing calisthenics and a walk every other day while sick. Learning how to place my foot while walking changed my life. Thank you SO much. I had been meditating on how to walk for ~9 months, but struggling to do so in a pain free way. Once you showed me, walking became a ton of fun and the meditative aspect has become enjoyable instead of frustrating. The only walking concerns I have now are a bone bruise on the pad of my right foot (which doesn't hurt much unless I walk for ~1hr on cement) and the tendonitis I'm recovering from in my left achilles (which is fine after some light wall stretching). Thank you again and have a great night.
Thank you! I'm glad you are making progress. I would Foam Roll (or lacrosse ball) the Calves after a long walk, I find it great to relieve the feeling of tension on my Achilles.
I was walking 5 km everyday before Covid and that helped my lower back pain from a posterior pelvic tilt a ton. Now my back pain came back I think I'm going back to walking but with forefoot landing this time as you mentioned in your other videos.
"I think a combination of walking and resistance training is best." Key words here, people shouldn't be walking only unless that's all their health currently allows for.
New subscriber here! I’ve had a slow recovery from a back fracture along with disc pain and I made a little progress through stretching and Pilates. However, your guide on correct walking form has changed my life for the better. Yesterday I walked 45 mins pain free! Thank you kindly for your great work. 🙂 Best wishes, Paul from UK
Walking is also a great way to transition to barefoot/minimal shoes. Resuming an ambitious running regimen can be tricky until the heel strike habit is lost, I cut down my miles and added walking
Weight training and Yoga......King James follows that same routine. Says its one of the reasons he's had a relatively injury-free career. On the diet.....I tried the water diet the other day. Two days straight, lost about 10 lbs.I Substituted the water with coffee and chocolate almond milk. 😀
I really appreciate the videos you create - very good advice! IF, yoga, and walking have all been key to my good health. Now if I could just shake this CoVID, I could get back outside.
Thanks for the video. I'm walking 12000(just 10 minutes after lunch and ten after dinner at the moment) steps every day without dieting and we'll see what happens in a month ☺
@@ricardowhitejr after a month I hit 13000 steps every day (but I only walked ten minutes after lunch and ten minutes after dinner), I avoided eating out for 3 Sundays...and I even gained almost a pound🤣 It's my fault though. I think I should walk at least 30 minutes 3 times a week if I want to see some results.
Walking is immense, humans were meant to walk and to roam. And it's a soft impact activity. Also because it takes longer than running or jogging to burn the same amount of calories, you're also spending less time around food. The only trick is to listen to some good podcasts really haha
That combination of non-processed foods and walking is important. Having a tub of icecream on the weekends/candy bar during the week and 8k steps a day doesn't, unfortunately shift belly fat. 😁
@@GrownandHealthy I been able to narrow it down to stress and attempts to relieve it. Walking doesn't always clear my mind reliably. Recently I've found that keeping my mouth closed all day and night and just breathing through the nose has helped to bring down the fight or flight response and more aware of my mental state.
For the first time I have a painful plantar fasciitis pain on my right foot above the heel. It's very tender/painful of I touch that spot right now. I've been doing barefoot/minimal shoes for quite some years now. I started doing basic leg calisthenics exercises, but also recently went to an ample amount of concerts days in a row. I didn't feel the exact moment it happened, but noticed when I stepped on something in that spot. Normally it's just a slight pain then I massage my shins and feet and it fixes itself. I've been doing hamstring stretches aswell. I'm not sure what to do about this pain, but I'm guessing the exercises and constant standing lead to this. I'm taking some magnesium. I hope the pain goes away soon.
I've been walking for 10,000 steps daily for the past 3 weeks, BUT, I have been having severe sciatic and piriformis pain!! I really do not want to stop. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hey man can you recommend minimal safety boots/shoes with steel toe please. I can’t seem to find any
every winter when I stay indoors several days a week, I put on the weight like crazy. I need to move to somewhere with less snow...

Which barefoot shoes would you recommend for a newbie barefoot walker? They'd need to be available in the ukm
How do your feel handle jumping rope with barefoot shoes? I've been curious about that.
I dont have a problem.. Start slow and build speed over sessions.
Where are these videos shot?
Atlanta, GA Metro Area
Nothing like going for a walk to clear your head, listen to some new music or podcast.
I've been walking for 10,000 steps daily for the past 3 weeks, BUT, I have been having severe sciatic and piriformis pain!! I really do not want to stop. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I found Side Planks Dips helped me, with mine.
Great advice from a handsome man, yeah😉☺
Man the place you live is so clean in my arena you can't walk 3 steps without seeing cans food or some sort of wast on the floor ;(
To the host. If you are overweight,I am a unicorn.
My Doctor told me I should lose some weight, according to her metrics (BMI)
Please make a abs workout video 🙏 By the way this video motivated me to go for a walk💪🔥
Will do!!
So we have to walk like robocob
He uses barefoot shoes and has perfect walking technique and posture. Just like Robocop!
Excuse me, 44?
i sometimes walk 10 miles on a work day. i'm still quite overweight i'm gonna have to stop the uber eats hahaha
👍👍👍
How fast do you walk?
I focus on a 17:00 min/ mile
🙏🏾
Any particular reason why you don't do any higher intense cardio? Running, Sprints, biking etc?
I see you answered in the video!
Shet now I want water melon
Wow you're 40? I thought you were at most 30-35
Thanks! Walking and stretching keep me youthful.
44! I thought he was early 30s!
Only 2 hours. I'll tell my wife that when she's stuck with 3 children lol
You are not fat anymore. Actually, I find you very attractive.
STOP the no shirt for attention walk of shame!!! I am so embarrassed for you. That is for bedroom or waterside only..
