I Walked 30,000 Steps A Day / 100 Miles In 7 Day - Here's What Happened

  • So what does it take to walk 100 miles in a week, it averages out to about 14.3 miles per day.
    For me, this is about 31,000 steps each day. Obviously this challenge is not something you could likely maintain day after day, but that is what makes this a challenge, it’s difficult!
    I can get about 1000 steps in about 8 minutes, so this comes out to a little over 4 hours of continuous walking.
    So here is a quick rundown of how I did each day.
    One day 1 I was able to get in 32,896 steps, this equalled 15.27 miles and my body burnt 4610 calories for the day.
    Just to clear things up a little bit here, every day my body will burn about 1836 calories even if I do absolutely nothing, this is known as your basal metabolic rate (bmr), so the increased activity burnt an additional 2,774 calories. My Fitbit tracks my heart rate, so it is able to use that data, combined with my current body composition to determine roughly how many calories were burnt. So this is how my calories burnt were calculated.
    On day two I got in 37,108 steps for a total of 17.22 miles. The total calories burnt this day was 5117.
    Day 3 started out wet and nasty, which meant a lot of walking would have to take inside. This involved walking around the house and in place, luckily though the weather cleared up and I was able to get outside for a bit. I ended up setting a personal best though 41,430 steps equaling 19.25 miles.
    On day four I got in 31,137 steps for a total of 14.45 miles
    Day five netted me 31,043 steps for another 14.39 miles
    Come day six my body was wearing down but I still got in 30,249 steps equalling 14.29 miles
    And finally day 7 I punished my sore body to get in 30,144 steps totaling 14.44 miles
    And just like that, my week of walking 100 miles was over, and now it’s time for me to show you the results
    In 7 days I walked 234,007 steps for a grand total of 109.32 miles or about 176 kilometers.
    According to my fitbit I burnt 32,943 calories in these 7 days. My basal metabolic rate, the amount of calories my body burns every day just to keep itself alive is 1829 calories a day, this means that the extra activity of walking primarily burned 20,140 calories.
    While walking my heart rate typically stayed between the range of 109 to 129 beats per minute.
    According to the numbers my fitbit had me burning about 86 calories for every 1000 steps.
    I started out with a weight of 196.8 pounds and finished the 7 days at a weight of 192.6 pounds for a total of 4.2 pounds lost.
    My body fat percentage decreased by .9% and here are several other areas you can compare.
    My calves also saw some minor growth, growing about ¼” when compared the end results from my recent video calf raises for 30 days.
    You have probably heard of runners high before, where after running, the runner’s body releases endorphins that cause a state of euphoria. Walking this much also created a similar effect for me, a walkers high if you will.
    Before I started this challenge my resting heart rate averaged 66 beats per minute. At the end of the 7 days that number had lowered to 61 beats per minute.
    My blood pressure also improved lowering slightly from 120/88 to 117/82.
    And finally, something I found the most interesting, I have grown 1 inch. I have always been 5”10” for years. My back began to hurt from all this walking and when I looked it up it said walking strengthens your spine and in effect can make you taller slightly taller. Sure enough when I measured my height I was now 5’11”. I actually don’t know if this occurred over this week or not though since I don’t normally measure my height and I have tried to make it a point to get in at least 15000 steps in a day for the last year and a half. Either way at 35 years old I grew 1 inch recently.
    It was a fun challenge, and now I look forward to sitting down for a bit and getting some rest. I’ll see you in the next one!

    I started walking about 2 weeks ago at 321 lbs. I initially could only walk 10 minutes at a brisk pace before experiencing pain in my right hip. I would take brakes but make sure to get my 10k steps a day. Now I'm 305 and can do 2 hours straight (10-12k steps)with no pain at all. When I began, I would listen to audio books that entertained me, now I listen to books that expand my knowledge. It's fun.

    I did 26k steps a day for about 10 days and it definitely had great results so I can confirm everything you saw in your 7 day challenge. Walking also tends to be a great low impact exercise and when you keep it low impact it will burn fat for energy rather than glucose. Also keeping it low impact will keep your cortisol levels down to improve that fat burning and reduce fat storage. Walking is the best exercise.

    About two months ago, I decided to change my lifestyle. I stopped eating like crap and drinking soda and I started walking at least 10k steps a day. I've lost 24 pounds in those 2 months! The weight is just falling off me and it's great. I'm about 40 lbs overweight right now so I'm hoping to keep the momentum going. Walking is so addicting! I love being outside and having my "me time". I love it and it's such an easy exercise. I spend about 2 hours outside walking everyday in the morning. It has to be first thing in the morning or it's too hot outside. I live in Texas so you can imagine the heat and humidity.....😂😂 I'm drenched in sweat from head to toe by the end of my walk. It's all uphill then downhill, rinse and repeat so it's pretty strenuous but still relatively easy.

    Great video! I started doing 10 miles/day in quarantine for the first 45 days. Then I couldn’t move for two days! Just super tight (did no stretching). I started stretching and ended up doing 13.5 mile average days for the last 30 something days. I haven’t quite reached 100 mile weeks but I’ve gotten close at around 94 mile weeks. It’s been challenging! I was feeling incredibly tired, more so than I realized possible. I haven’t been commuting to the office so that’s 2 hours a day I found and the gyms are closed so that’s 1.5 hours a day plus staying in the house all day is not something to look forward to lol. I also walked rain or shine which is more of a mental game then I realized. It’s been fun and challenging and needless to say I’m doing yoga now in order to keep the mileage up! Stay safe brother!

      I didn't really intend for this to be a walking challenge so I didn't really have a starting weight. The last time I weighed myself was at the doctors right before lock down. I was 206 lbs and now I'm down to 193 lbs. Although, if I had to guess, I had put on at least 5 pounds during lock down. So lost somewhere in between 13-18 pounds which is a huge range I know. In between sizes right now but my old clothes have me looking like an early 2000s rapper.

    I do approximately 45.3k steps per day for 5 days of the week at work since it requires me to walk overnight. Most people I work with can't do what I do, so I always get overtime, thus putting in more steps for the week. It's definitely a rewarding feeling when I get the day off, and most people would argue that I should quit, but honestly, I enjoy it. I can see most people will have a problem with it.

    I remember doing a challenge of walking 10 miles a day for 30 days back in the early 2ks, the author of the book claimed you could lose 8 pounds of fat in that time span without dieting. I did the whole 30 days, one day i would walk twelve miles other days eight, i just had to put in the miles by the end of the week. I lost exactly eight pounds and dropped an entire size from my waist area which was very noticeable for just losing 8 pounds, in the process sadly i developed plantar fasciitis despite changing foot inserts, sneakers ,etc.

    I got a walking under desk treadmill about 7 weeks ago. I have averaged about 75 miles per week for 7 weeks now. I have lost about 16 pounds (from 194 to 178). My height started at 5'11" and I assume it is still the same. I realize that a treadmill walk at perfectly level ground is not the same as a "real world" walk so I wouldn't equate the 75 miles per week as the same as 75% of your 100 mile week, but it's a good fraction nonetheless. And I've been able to do it for 7 weeks now. I am not entirely sure it is sustainable because I have started to develop a sore achilles tendon in one foot, I might not be able to do this pace indefinitely, or maybe my body will catch up. I'm hoping for the latter.

Over that period I went from 106 kgs down to 84 kgs and it’s now settled at 88kgs . I am just under 6 feet 2 and now 60 years old . The biggest weight loss was at the very beginning. I also had a long standing knee injury which I got skiing and it didn’t really stop me . Frozen veg when I stopped . My tip is get up early and do it first thing .

With this setup it is super easy to get in lots of steps WHILE YOU ARE WORKING OR JUST SURFING THE NET. When I first started working from home, I walked 15-16 miles a day, by accident. One day, just for the heck of it, I walked a marathon. Yes, I was in reasonably good shape before, but the trick is to set it to a pace that is not sweat inducing and just stay on it. Keep walking!
