- Kaiser Permanente Chairman and CEO George C. Halvorson discusses the gift of walking. Discover how walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week can help reduce the rate of diabetes, strokes, heart disease, hypertension and more. The benefits of walking are good for all, and can also help combat breast and prostate cancer. Beyond the physical benefits, walking can have a major positive impact on depression by creating positive neurochemicals.
And you don't have to be a regular at the gym to get the benefits. You can fit walking into your daily routine and experience the benefits with shorter walks throughout the day. The benefits are multiple--and it's easy and free to do. Walking is our gift. Walking is our strength. Walking makes us strong. So let's walk.
I am 75. Two years ago I was bedbound in a care home for end of life care (!) Medical support was poor, so I did my own thing. Did a lot of research and started an exercise regime. Learned to walk again and walked about 2 miles a day in the corridors. Net result I came home after six months. Now I walk regularly about 4 miles every day in the country (even during covid-19). About 30 miles a week.
Result blood pressure 106/67 rest heart rate 55 bpm BMI 23 blood oxygen (SpO2) 96-99%. And even the horses in the fields I cross recognise me and come to say hello!

Wow, that's amazing! God Bless you!
Fantastic!
Great testimony! Much better than the one’s that are trying to brag on themselves. Inspiring. Thanks.
Thank you. Wonderful
I can now walk almost all day long and I'm not tired at all. I have lost 95 pounds by walking.
DrAlbert Pakin that’s amazing I’m trying to lose 50 IBS
That is incredible! May our Lord Jesus continue to bless you!
@@annointed798 Thank you for your beautiful comment Michael. Please see mostholyfamilymonastery.com Also Www.vaticancatholic.com
Fantastic information and wonderful videos.....please pass this info to others. Thanks Michael. Prayers from Ireland!
I did the same walking all day long and cured my diabetes.

Walking has been my daily pill for the last 2 months. I cant wait to go out and walk every single day at 5 pm in the cool of the day. It's as if i grind away all the toxins in my body as well as negative thoughts. Pity that I discovered it so late at age 61. Yet, it's never too late.
My grandfather started walking 5 miles a day when he was 60.
He is 71 now and we don’t know where the hell he is !!
😂🤣😅
😂🤣🤣
Lol so funny...😂😂
This answer was 2 years ago. Found him yet?
I saw him in Ennis, Ireland last week. Wanted to have a small talk with him, but he said he was walking to Paris to support government's plan to work longer and walk faster😮
5 years ago I had a triple bypass open heart surgery. The cardio surgeon advised me to walk and so I started walking 3 days after the surgery. Last February, at the age of 55, I walked up the highest mountain in my country (4095 meters). Will keep on walking 🚶♂️ 🙂
So awesome! Congratulations!
Pak ci orang Malaysia Kah?
how long did it take you to get rid of the chest pain after your triple bypass? I had a triple bypass like you and it still hurts me. Any tips for that pain on left side of incision? It hurts very badly...
A few years ago I called a friend and confided to him I was very depressed...he told me to meet him at the dock in the morning...I thought he'd have some pills or drugs...nope...we went walking...and talking...he promised me if I walked every day my depression would ease...how true!!..I've never had a minute of depression since I started walking!!
So true! It really does help with depression.
since start walking lost 75lbs and no longer pre diabetic feeling great now walk everyday
I am 67 and started to walk 7wks ago and feel great and lost 15lbs I believe in this so much sleeping better eating less 👍🏻🍀
I have been walking off and on my entire life. But for the past 2 months been walking everyday for 2 hours daily, can’t tell you how awesome I feel. I also drink 64 oz of water daily. No sweets after 5 pm. Feel wonderful,light.healthy. Keep up the good work guys. I’m 49..
I’m a little of a bigger person but my legs and arms are muscular I walk 20-30 minutes every other day I’m not trying to lose weight it just makes me feel better and at least I got some exercise in for the day. I could probably walk longer cause after 30 minutes I’m not even tired or hard of breathing so I could probably work up too an hours worth
That’s great! That discipline and persistence really pays off. Keep it up.
Ooohhh I like the no sweets after 5pm idea! I'll try thank like no sweets/crisps after 5 pm ! Thank you for the idea!
good on you!!!
I to walk every day minimum 1 hour. I have 2 golden retrievers so i m always in good company. I also take a backpack with me to collect plastic bottles that i find on my walk. I feel since i benefit so much from walking outside, the outside might as well benefit from my walks 2 😁 have a nice day u all!!
That is so great Mirthe. Thank you!
💕
Yes
Walking is great for anxiety N depression
4 years ago, I had open heart surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm. My surgeon made me promise to walk every day. I'm still walking every day. I walk at a little over 4 mph.
/respect. I’m a walker too - 4+ MPH is a pretty decent clip!
I’m 57 and retired. I have a two hour walk loop in my town. I try to walk it everyday weather permitting
This man know his stuff. Walking is the best!
what a great video I'm 67 years old i don't run anymore i walk every day better for my knees i feel great and lost 20 pounds yes please listen to this gentleman he is telling the truth thank you so much
I was suffering from very bad anxiety and had tremors and attacks. I have cured it mostly by walking and drinking tea. I cut back on soda too. I don't drink coffee either. Walking is a wonder drug and it's the best thing for you and is free to do. I walk between 3-4 times a day half hour to an hour each depending on the weather. I also mall walk when it's too hot out or too cold. I'm telling you it works. I sleep better now too. NO more drugs for me.
Way to go !!
I'm also suffering from anxiety and hand tremor. My doctor has recommended me to walk and meditate.
Each word well said, tone of voice and delivery manner superb.
Do as much studies as they like, if they lost focus on nutrition, they are going to be fundamentally wrong, they will lose huge benefits (like 500%) and gain some insignificant benefits (like 50%).

Blessed are those who care for others.Thank you for your advise.
Walking half hour a day also improves cognitive skills and prevents dementia
This guys voice and the way he talks just got me ready to change my life all the information is overwhelming I’m going to gym tonight
My doc told me to walk 20 min a day. I bought a treadmill and I've been walking 35 min. Combined with an improved diet, I feel better now than I did 10 years ago.
I started using a stationary bike everyday and had a similar experience.
I went back to the doctor today. He said my numbers were perfect. My triglycerides were high, but 20 points lower than last year and 110 points lower than the year before. He said to keep doing what I'm doing.
I just love the seriousness in his face as he is passing this very important message
I agree. I just recently started "walking to work". I park on the 4th floor of the garage at work. Rather than taking the elevator I walk all the way around, ramp by ramp. Then I do a quick spin around the building. It takes about 15 minutes. At the end of the day...to get to my car, I walk up and around the garage. It not only counts as steps/time, but also stair climbing. I had to come to the realization that I really don't like to exercise; but I LOVE walking. Walk on people! Walk on!
After a seizure from my cranial avm acted up, I felt reduced to walking for exercise. Well that was silly. After 11 months, im 25 lbs lighter and have a better outlook on everything. I will do this every day, as long as I live. I feel better at 50 than ever before.
Aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. Improves every aspect of your life.
I LOVE WALKING AND IT FEELS SO GOOD.
Wasn't that like the most inspirational thing ever ?! ALHAMDOULILAH (THANK GOD) for our bodies... ! Realize that some people don't even have the opportunity to walk :(
Destiny108☆ Alhamdulillah for everything
My walk is only for me, for my health and well being.
Yes!
I'm not diabetic, but I was probably going to get there. My doctor told me to walk 30 minutes a day and my nutritionist told me to cut out sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Now my blood glucose is between 82 and 88 in the mornings and doesn't get much above 100 after I eat, plus I've lost 55 pounds and am feeling great.
Wow, had no idea that walking could actually improve so many aspects of every day life, not just health related. Big incentive to start a walking routine!!
Walking IS the magic pill.
I started walking after a foot operation 6 months ago. I also decided not to eat any processed food nor any added sugar nor white flour nor any diet products, just real food. Six months later, I walk an average 15000 steps a day, I have lost 30 kg weight (I was obese, I'm not even overweight now) , I eat far more than I used too (for years I was fat and hungry, and feeling guilty every time I ate more than 1500 calories a day). Best of all, I feel ten years younger than a year ago and I have more energy for my everyday life: my job and running a family with two adolescent girls !!!
Whats amazing is im 40 and I've just discovered "walking " as a great exercise! I try to walk about 45 to 60 minutes per day 🤗
What an amazing video!
walking is a drug. I have to do it everyday or else my day is not right.
Agreed!
Same here! 20k steps a day
Same 👍🏻
True
@@johnnyestrada4687 wow...I do six miles a day...I'm gonna try a ten miles...yes it's the best drug I've ever used!!
Walking is mans great medicine
Walking is great,I walk 10,000 steps everyday,it awesome, thank you sir for the information
I remember reading, some time ago, that if you want to lose weight and feel better, park your car about a mile from your work place. If you haven't been doing a lot of walking, my suggestion is that you park the car just a few blocks from your work place and every week, or less, increase that distance. If you work from home, a break of 15 minutes in the morning and another one in the afternoon will help you with your concentration as you work. I am not a doctor not any sort of therapist. I make these suggestions based on what I have read and done in my own life. Always talk with your doctor before starting any new exercise.
President Truman used to walk every morning and his secret service detail had a difficult time keeping up with him at first.
Since covid-19 I have identified a route with the minimum number of people and try and walk it every day. 11300 steps about. Takes a bit over an hour, and I have done this for over a year. My BMI is 22.7. BP this morning 113/66. Rest heart rate 55 bpm. Blood oxygen 96 -99%. And my age is 76!
Nice!
Life is meaningful.
I started walking seriously last year I live in a very hot climate so for most of the months of the year I walk in the house I do walking workouts and walk around sometimes watch a movie on my phone or listen to books. Average 18,000+ steps a day. I’m completely addicted. 😊
I'm paralyzed from the waist down and I walked a few months ago with an exoskeleton! It was an incredible experience! I wish to have an exoskeleton of my own to walk within my community and get into the routine of walking at least 30minutes a day for 7 days :) gofundme.com/jacksrewalkfund
Yep, walking is always and still my favorite exercise, and its the easiest exercise to fit into my schedule :)
i started walking...now can do at least 2 hours out the day....i feel so much better now, mentaly im more focused, and my was a heavy breather, and that has got better also
I started walking after mending from a fall and now I walked after dinner for 35 minutes upon diagnosed with diabetes. I find it de-stressing. I hope I don’t need anti-anxiety meds in the future.
Walking is freedom.

I just started walking an hour per day a couple weeks ago and I think my motivation and focus have improved. I don't include whether or not I walk the dogs, that's just extra walking, which just increases the benefit (icing on the cake). I'm doing it to lose visceral fat actually, since it's the most effort-efficient way burn fat instead of sugars, and additionally reduces cortisol, rather than increasing it like some more strenuous exercises. Also reduces risk of injury. Getting in an hour per day is flexible, I can grab 15 minutes before work, 15 minutes during lunch break, and 30 minutes after dinner, or any other combination that fits my schedule any particular day. If I accidentally overeat on dinner then I get at least an hour before going to bed which improves sleep. I plan to start adding in weight training AFTER I have lost the fat.
Walking relax me so much and still a good cardio exercise to do, people get on your feet it's not really a big deal but it means alot for your body and health
This is easy to do and has a significant impact. I'm on board. Off to walk.
Undisputed, 100% true
bro dropped a masterclass monologue on walking
What a great video, so well explained and so many sincere and helpful comments. Have been on the 10k walking program for only two weeks but already feel so much better and have lost 5lb. Two tips, a smart watch with gps link to maps on your phone is really good for measuring and as a motivation tool.Also build the walking into your day. Walk to the supermarket and get public tranport or taxi back.
Great video. Time to up my walk game.
Love watching these videos on my walks lol
Thank you so much for putting this video up for the benefit of all. Blessings for you
Great video glad to see a nice brief video talking about benefits about walking I walk 20-30 minutes daily 7 days a week and also do body weight workouts and HIIT workouts.
Great video, excellent information!
This is amazing ❤
Love walking!!! Amen!
Gosh ... very educational, empowering and motivational.
Something that I used to do so much of, but since I took early retirement, I do very little walking now, although it is my main form of transport, I still don’t walk very much. I have no excuses either, and I live in a small city in the UK with lots of lovely green spaces and walkways as well.
Much thanks for posting this video,
Steve :-) U.K.
I agree: he's a great presenter. I recently read several meta-analysis on walking that showed linear improvements for both health and longevity maxing out at about 7,500 steps per day. I aim for 7,500 steps every day. It takes me just over an hour. It makes a stunning difference in my overall sense of well-being. I also sleep much better. When I wake up, my stomach is always flat, and I feel really lean. Luckily, I live on a wooded lot where we made a walking path. I can't wait to drink my coffee each morning and head out. Even bad weather doesn't overwhelm my excitement.
THANK YOU ❤🌹
Excellent information shared..thank you so much!!! We as a group of friends walk every day for a hour ..or sometimes we do a 10 kilometre walk..I can just thank God I started walking..like you said so many benefits..Thank you..God Bless!!
Great I walk everyday!
Sir like you style of Vid and great points you make and lets all just walk
Love this, I've started walking to work about 6km/3.7miles. Watching these videos really motivates me
Well said
I love walking especially with my furbabies
I walk every day! Early in the morning!
I so agree with this...thank you!
I am proof.
This is very convincing!
Thank you!!!!!!
I find it best to go out before breakfast often at six thirty or sevenish for the thirty to forty minute walk and as the day progresses you do not even recall having gone out earlier. Just about every day for two years now, I see it ,hopefully , as contributing to my personal insurance policy .
Excellent channel, i like it.
Exactly well said Dr.👍👍👍
very motivational. thank you!
Wooow that’s unbelievable 😯😯😮❤️
Thank you very much. ☺️
great advice!
Enhances personality.
I understand like the runners high I've experienced that too. We have the waking high , I like it just as well!!
Not just a necessity but walking is enjoyable as a form of relaxation. In this quarantine, I have been walking in figure 8s in my backyard.
Thank you.
Thank you soooooo much
Thanks...
Love cars love driving my car but I also take time to walk I always feel better after. I do it in the morning it wakes me up
I am going to keep on walking and I will keep using my in Home Walk by Leslie Sansone.
yes!
walking plus a healthy diet is best in my opinion
Thank you
Success in business.
I clock 10000 paces on my fitbit watch early morning But you also have to watch what you eat if you want to lose weight Nice video

Walking is great for those that have anxiety and depression , walking releases the feel good endorphins like serotonin and dopamine and lowers the bad chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline , 30 mins a day (that's it) but must be a brisk walk not a lazy dog walk for 30 mins
Walking vs running? What i like of runing is u are left breathless
Walking with Jesus Christ 7/ 24 💓👑
The Most High God 🎆🌻
Doctor is looking very serious,he should walk and talk with people 😁
Sold.
Reminds me of an interview of a celebrity. " God gave you wings to fly, why do you want walk?" When we can do more, why stop at walking. Now, i am injured so i opt for walking. When you can run, you should run not just walk.
K.A. Sharmella your call. At my age, running would destroy my knees. Walking is a better solution for me.
@@left0verture Agreed...
thanks
Anybody who needs to be told that walking is good for them has got a problem.
Listen to knowledge .
