    There are innumerable ways to change the composition of the body, but probably the least strenuous is simply walking. Walking is an aerobic, fat burning activity that is very low demand for the human body. This makes it perfect to pair with muscle building exercise programs as it will burn the fat while still leaving plenty of energy and physical resources for strength training. In this way, walking may be the best form of active recovery available.

    Yep, love this channel. A few years ago I was the fittest I’d ever been, I’d commute a 20 mile round trip everyday on my bike, bodyweight exercises every morning, cold showers, meditation, breathwork, you name it, and I’d fit most of it into an hour’s routine before I’d start my day.
    Then I was hit by a series of life events that resulted in 4 years of clinical depression and all of it dropped away. I started drinking and smoking again, regulating my mood with coffee, beer and cigarettes.
    I’m just beginning to recover and have felt overwhelmed by the hill I have to climb to return to that state of physical and mental wellbeing, but this channel really cuts out all the crap and shows how to reach those goals in simple achievable steps. Props to you and gratitude 🙏🏼

      For decades I have gone on cycling holidays and even riding up to 150 miles a day I will often eat less than on a day sat doing nothing. My camping stove isn’t big enough to make a big meal. I will lose a pound of weight for every 60 to 80 miles and I if my breathing is anything to go by I’m not breathing as heavily as if I were jogging. Virtually all my energy is coming from fat stores. I have noticed that once I approach a healthy minimum weight I want to eat more but this is probably a good thing and shows my body knows what it’s doing.

    I run about 80-100 miles a week and have run over 30 marathons. Running gives you fitness, but walking is best for body recomposition and weight loss. The percentage of fat burned walking vs running and the reduced strain is the best about walking. I have a walking treadmill under my work desk and use it all the time. I don’t remember when’s the last time I sat down for work.

      People really underestimate walking for fat loss, I guess because it seems too low intensity and people always assume you need hard workouts to burn fat. But everyone I know who has tried it has attested to it's fat loss potential. Plus it leaves so much energy left over for other activities.

    They say that you can't out-exercise a poor diet, but if you count your calories (for instance using an app) AND add walking on top, results will be incredible given the low effort.
    That's what worked for me - finally got back into teenage form in late 20s, and actually improved it with even more muscles, because I added weight training and cycling.
    If you can't keep your calories under certain threshold, try intermittent fasting - for me it's easier when i start eating late in the day, for instance between noon and 08:00 PM. It feels like I'm not even hungry in the morning because my stomach is still asleep lol

    Always start with building up your mentality for successful body transformation. You're obviously doing a good thing by deciding to lose weight and look better. Many people do the mistake of doing these changes in an obsessive way instead of doing it out of self respect. This may not seem like a problem at first but believe me if you don't change the mindset first you will gain all of it or even more. So my advice to people losing weight is, for the longevity of your hard efforts you need to prepare yourself for the change.
    I'm an ex pro swimmer and I also used to run when I was a teenager. My 100 meter personal best is 12.5 seconds. Now that I'm 25 years old I probably won't beat my pb but it's alright I'm proud of what I achieved. I am 180 cm (5' 11") and 73 kilos (160 pounds). To all my friends who struggle with all my sincerity I respect and support all your efforts you put on your weight loss journey. Don't ever let the numbers make you feel like a loser, keep going strong and show those numbers who's boss.

      Maybe stop thinking of it as exercise, start thinking of it as movement. Only walking is fine obviously, but there is definitely something you will like if you are open to change in this area (martial arts, dance, parkour, anything on this channel). It depends on the type of person you are. Walking is also my favorite, since I can let my mind wander, be slow, be fast, be present, be nowhere, et cetera. However, I also enjoy dancing, it gives me a feeling like nothing else. I also hate and love running, I feel shit the first couple kilometres and then start feeling great and energized. I also like moving with someone else to talk, feel and connect. I (can learn to) like (almost) everything if I am open for change.

    honestly would love to see a video on rucking, aka walking with a load. I had prior injuries in back, shoulder, knees and ankles. most of my injuries have healed and have increased mobility. I can not only run again, i can run with 45lbs on my back without ankle or knee pain; i cannot believe it's even possible. also shedding weight like crazy. I suspect the slow impact walk caused an adaptation that healed my joints, strengthened my tendons and gained some muscle (my entire shin area, front and back has definition now) to the point I can now actively run. Only doing a 15min pace for now, but would honestly love to hear about it because all I've heard is negative things about how bad rucking is on the joints. It is completely opposite to my experience, I have been rucking for roughly 9 months went from .25 miles at like a 30 plus pace to now 4 miles at 15min pace and that's me not actively pushing just to be safe, it feels like a brisk jog.

    I've also done it outdoors, not on an indoor treadmill - no idea how much that contributed, but a physician in my family (who recommended the walks to me in the first place) had lost a ton of weight himself just by walking, and claimed that fresh air is a great contributor (might be true; might be false - I have no idea, but I've done it outdoors as he recommended, and has tremendous results).

    I can absolutely attest to this. I think it's called "neat weight loss" or something like that. I've been walking 10,000+ steps a day for the last 3 months and I have lost over 10 lbs of pure fat. My muscles size hasn't decreased a single bit. It's a very easy way of losing weight without putting your body through so much stress. I personally hate running/treadmill and all that intense workout. I just can't get myself to do it, but with walking and adjusting my caloric intake, it's been amazing.

But I think evolutionarily or something the body sees walking as regular. It doesn’t trigger its defense mechanisms.

    I've lost so much weight. My scale doesn't lie. What I wish I knew is how important it might have been to bulk first. Would walking and cal-deficit after two days of working out cause redirection of protein and carbs away from the muscle groups I worked out to just cardio?

    • @moversodyssey
      @moversodyssey  3 місяці тому +1

      Anytime you are exercising in a calorie deficit you run the risk of the body breaking down the proteins inside the muscles to use as fuel. If you wanted to try and keep muscle but lose fat, walking is a good option because of it's low intensity. But you could increase the odds of keeping muscle while losing fat by cycling your calorie intake, increasing calories on lifting days and decreasing calories on off days and doing your walking then. Also working out or walking in the mornings while fasted is a good way to burn some fat, then you can load some carbs and protein afterwards while the muscles are hungry for them.

    Averaging 9-10k steps daily, my question is:

    • @maxd1744

      You do not. The most important is a combination of diet and movement. Simply slowly keep improving in both areas. Of course if you run 10 hours a day and you barely eat anything you will lose more calories (combo of burning and simply not consuming them), but you will not be able to stick to it.
      If you want to you can simply start walking a little faster, and then introduce a 10 minute jog a week, take it slow and go from there, introduce some slowly progressive bodyweight exercise, some dancing, some whatever. Do what you enjoy! Just do what you want and keep changing. You do not have to do any specific thing, everything depends on your goals and your preferences, your journey.

      Walking is essential for keeping your muscles and skeletal structure in tact. Running or jogging is there if you need to burn fat in a fast pace. Weight lifting and walking is plenty to do. Don't exhaust yourself if you feel like you're doing all you can. But if you have the spare energy it won't hurt to go for a jog once in a while.

    • @moversodyssey
      @moversodyssey  Рік тому +4

      It's possible you could still benefit but I wouldn't do it if your feet are hurting. No point adding more stress to the feet if they are already struggling. I've always had trouble with walking and standing on concrete all day in particular, always hurt my feet. It's possible you might get some benefit from barefoot walking in grass, or doing the same with minimalist shoes. It's softer on the feet but will start working the muscles of the feet in new ways. Barefoot walking often corrects arch problems and makes the feet more resilient. You could also do swimming or stationary bike to give the feet a break all together. Also the kettlebell swings don't utilize the muscles of the feet other than for standing on them. Anyway, best of luck

    • @moversodyssey

Though they can be a little on the pricey side sometimes. Local podiatrists can often help, though many of them are just looking to sell you shoe insoles, so you have to make sure its one that will do a real analysis.
