    I found the same with jogging, too much pain, but I can walk for miles ( very slowly) with no problems. Thank you for this channel. I've lost 38lbs in 9 months with OMAD and walking.

    I’ve been watching your videos for about 2.5 years now, I started at 466 lbs and I am now down to 331 lbs. I still eat pretty much whatever I want but do practice Intermittent Fasting and sometimes OMAD. My wife and I both walk at least 2.5 miles a day and sometimes reach 10,000 steps which for me is close to 5 miles but for my wife is a little less since she has a smaller stride. My wife started at 166 and is now 116 as she likes to fluctuate between 115 and 120. I still want to lose at least 111 more lbs which at 220 would look good on my 6’4” frame. Keep up the great videos Kayla!!! We love your channel. ❤️✌️😎

      Great work man! congrats to you and the wife, 135 pounds is fucking awesome work man!!!! Keep up the good work brother as this comment was 11 months ago I'm sure you're even closer now to 220.
      I also in the past 5 months started walking as well, about 6 miles a day. I got motivated when I had always been in decent shape (played football & baseball in high school, and continued baseball in college) but a while ago I looked down at the scale and saw 215 for the first time in my life after a period of being lazy and depressed. I am 6 foot but normally float around 175. Well after 4-5 months of walking 6 miles 6 days a week, I am now in the best shape of my life since I was 18 (now 30) I weigh about 160-165, with more muscle mass than before. Losing this weight has motivated me so much, it's great, now I'm looking to go from 165 -> 175 but only muscle.

    I love doing 6 miles in one setting mainly because of stress. You are so correct that giving yourself that time to either listen to a podcast / audiobook / talk to family and friends on the phone really enhances your mood. After, there is a genuine sense of accomplishment and the 2 hrs you'd have spent on TV or browsing online really can never be as fulfilling. Thank You! Keep inspiring!

    Thank you for posting. I've been walking 6 miles every day for the past year in a half. I added walking to my weight loss journey, lost 75 pounds, and I've been able to keep it off for over a year pretty well so far. I also do fasting. I agree with you about walking being a tool. We have to be mindful of what we eat. Cheers to our lifestyles and continued good health. 🤗🤗

    I want to walk. I was crazy fit in my youth, but last year, at 67, I had the first major pain of my life: my back, legs, and feet are in so much pain. I can only walk about 1000 steps before my feet and hips are on fire. Even with good shoes and over the counter pain meds I’m extremely curtailed. Having said all of that, I will set incrementally larger goals, because I want to get stronger. It’s hard to be out of shape and in pain, but with IF and small goals I hope to regain my health.

    6 miles a days a bit much to fit into modern life especially if you work. 3-4 is more reasonable. 3-4 will take anywhere between 45-60 mins roughly depending how fast or slowly you march. Any more than that a day and you'll likley give up within a week.

    I would call that 9.65 km, or 10 km as a nice round figure. Once a person goes km, they won't go back to miles because it's easier to translate shorter distances into meters vs feet or yards which don't easily convert into miles.
