  • Most doctors agree, walking for health is the right thing to do. Listen in as these physicians explain the benefits of walking: how it can reduce cholesterol and blood pressure, help increase muscle tone, and keep your weight in check. Plus, getting out there and moving gets the blood flowing which can help with heart and respiratory issues, increase bone health--and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Check out this free advice and start enjoying the benefits of walking today.

    I love walking. During the lockdown, I walked in my backyard. In a straight line or in figure 8, it doesn't matter. I just walked. I went from 230+ bs to my current 170 lbs. I also cut down on my sugar/refined foods intake and did intermittent fasting.

    I'm 4'11 and my highest weight was 186lbs. I wore a size 16 and was borderline diabetic! I remember as a young kid my Mom taking me walking with her and how enjoyable it was. Not to mention the weight she had lost! I started walking 5 days a week for one hour and lost 42lbs in 6 months! I am no longer in danger of type 2 diabetes and wear a size 9. I feel better physically and mentally! :)

    Walking alone won't do much if you're trying to lose weight UNLESS you lower your caloric intake. Eat whatever you want (hopefully something healthy) but most importantly..LOWER YOUR CALORIES DAILY..otherwise..you won't lose weight no matter how much you walk. This is a scientific fact..not an opinion. And get a treadmill if you have the space and put a TV in front of it so you never have an excuse like weather to not walk. Good luck!

    Is it ok if I take your dog for a walk, she said sure. I took the dog for a one hour walk
    And when we returned the dog was so Mellow she couldn’t believe it. LoL.

    If you want to add seven years to your lifespan, set aside 20 to 25 minutes for a daily walk. This simple habit, which can also arguably be one of the most enjoyable parts of your day, has been found to trigger an anti-aging process and even help repair old DNA.
    The research, presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress, followed 69 people between the ages of 30 and 60. Those who engaged in daily moderate exercise, such as a brisk walk or jog, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and strength training experienced anti-aging benefits that could add an additional three to seven years to your life.1

    I feel healthier walking, than in my competitive running days. A long, 20-year hiatus since the car accident and end of the beloved marathons :(
    But now that I'm not on the rigorous training schedule (and finally found reliable, natural ways to manage pain), I feel healthier overall w/ just walking and some weight lifting. And a bit of intuitive, balanced eating. Health at Every Size nutritionists are amazing. Food is definitely medicine too.
