Walking energises me, gives me time to think, and I sleep better that evening.

71 years of age, dodgy knees and just in from 17000 steps up and around the Wrekin (our local hill). I feel great mentally and pretty good physically. Each to their own...

That's a great walk! 😊 Excellent getting the heart going on the way up, walking up and down the lumps and bumps at the top, then working those knees going down, especially if they are dodgy! The views from the top add to the health benefits

I feel friggin awesome after a long walk so thats enough evidence for me!

A great suggestion, walking on the beach at the beginning. Walking on sand, wet or dry offers a greater challenge for the body.

I was doing an average of 25k steps a day for 6 weeks and I lost a little over 3 kilos during that time and I didn't change my diet or the lot. And I am always mentally and physically refreshed after doing so. To each his own, I guess.

71 years old and I walk 10-20Km per day. This has slowed the progression of my Parkinson's immensely.

Back in the old days It used to take 10000 steps to get to school

That’s in the old days when boys were men, today men are boys with great big bellies.

Rather than target a number, enjoy the process. Do an exercise that you like every and one day break/week

What worked for me is exercise and diet, I started working out when I was 18 in 1974 my late brother got me into working out then I had to work on getting the diet right because I was young and I was eating everything but I didn't gain any weight back then I was 6'2'' 154 pounds, very skinny basketball player at 18 years old then when I got in my late 20s and 30s I started picking up weight then at the age of 35 I was weighting 210 pounds and stayed at that weight until I got in my mid 50's then my weight blew up to 240 pounds then ended up with diabetes type 2 my doctor told me to lose the weight so what I started during was to add the treadmill to my work out and completely changed my diet to health food, spinach, Broccoli, bake foods, no red meat, no pork or fried foods or processed foods, drink plenty of water no juices or sodas, my weight right now is 198 pounds and I am feeling great, I did the treadmill for 30 mins 6 times a week and took off 50 pounds at the time, at the age of 68 I am feeling great, I do bike riding, can walk 5 miles with no problem, this year makes 50 years that I started working out, I thank the Lord Jesus for giving me the strength to keep going, you can do the same thing all it takes is a made up mind to want to better your healthy it's up to you God bless you.

"Why are you standing"?... "Because sitting is slowly killing us".

Walking outside is really good for your mental and emotional well being too. Yeah you can go to the gym if you don't have enough time to walk outside, but there is nothing as beneficial for your mental and emotional wellbeing as going outside and walking around people.

Where are the references for what she is claiming ?

At my old job I usually get around 40k steps, so walking way home and do other activies 10k more. My maxium steps I had is 60k

Walking to the shops/work/activities is the eay to go!

I got rid of my car at age 50. 16 years later, I am healthy, fit. and slim. I bring home only what I can carry from the market, so I choose wisely. Cars make humans fat and lazy.

You can definitely stay fat/overweight and healthy then when achieving 10000 steps a day.

Intermittent fasting and avoiding highly-processed foods/ drinks are more important than walking, to stay healthy

You need both a healthy diet AND some sort of regular exercise. Doing just one is ofc better than none, but the best is to do both.

to sell their pedometers.* Pedometers are the step counters. Research and personal anecdotes of people on the internet show that 10K steps do help. Walking is literally the simplest exercise someone can start with.

How dopey. Let people have a lofty goal. If they shoot for 10000 and end up at 6000, it's six fn thousands more than they would have taken. Stop gatekeeping, and stop being so goddamn dopey
