Should we get those steps everyday and throughout the day or in one sitting?

Heres a few tricks I've found to up my step game. 1. Choose to park at the back of the lot for additional steps and quicker parking. Despite initial concerns about time, finding a spot is often faster due to fewer cars. This also simplifies departure as remembering your spot becomes easier. 2. Incorporate short walks after meals to aid digestion and boost step count by 500 to 1000 steps. This simple habit promotes a healthier metabolic response and keeps you active throughout the day. 3. Kick off your mornings with a brisk 10-minute walk. Not only does this energize you and add to your step count early on, but it also exposes you to sunlight, which helps regulate your circadian rhythm, improves mood, and reduces the risk of depression. By integrating these small changes into your routine, achieving 10k steps a day becomes a manageable goal.

Thank you for your list, especially #3. I suffer from winter blues and want to see if this will help drive me out of bed. The pandemic was great for me for walking. I desired to get out, and there were fewer cars on the road, making the morning air 1000 times fresher than ever. Since the end of the pandemic (for which I am grateful), I have definitely noticed a difference in air quality again (for the worse).

@@arthurb1694 I wish you luck! worst thing that happens is you gain a few extra steps and get some "fresh air"

I was wondering why a cardio routine required 22 minutes to explain. I was expecting a drawn out explanation for something simple like most other KZreadrs tend to do. But I was wrong, very informative video, and glad I have the attention span to pay attention and watch it. I may not be able to stick to this exact routine because my life schedule is a bit awkward, but I’ll try and implement as best as I can. Hoping to get some decent results. Thanks for the video!

I am no medical or athletic training professional, but I learned probably 20 years ago that walking at a good pace is one of the best things you can do for your body as far as controlling your weight. I used to get laughed at when I had friends out there sprinting jogging doing everything else and I would just walk for an hour a day. They all had beer bellies, etc., and I was the leanest of the group by far.

Learned this too about 6 years ago due to the transportation availability (or lack there of) in the city i was living and i was no joke walking a Minimum of 1-2h a day. Life changed and got a remote working job put on a stupid amount of weight. Its only when I realized It was probably the walking that did all the heavy lifting that things went back to normal. Walking is VERY slept on.

I'm a 67 yo woman who is going to try this routine. Will comment back in the future. Im excited to start this now! Thank you so much!

I really really appreciate how you shared this information for FREE! You didn't go through a long tirade and got straight to the deal! I never believed this foe over 3 decades until I started following it 18 months ago. I only wish I knew this in my 20s-30s and 40s

I'll be following your cardio routine from now on. I usually do not stick around for long videos but this was worth it. I needed this. Thank you

Heart rate 120-140, cardio after weights…got it! 📝 Loved the video, straight to the point. Thank you!!

Best video I have seen in a very long time with a very clear explaination as to the amount and how to ensure that you get it in. Currently 15k steps, 2 x 20 mins a day cardio sessions for variety

Always followed you for years now - you are one of the most accurate and opened expert in this field I’ve come across in almost 5 years now. Thank you! 👍👍👍👍👍

OMG 💪🏾 Dr. MIKE, the way U have put this information together is what we all need! 💯 % Brilliant!

I will save this video and put a reminder in 2 months to let you know how it went. I have been doing this for a week now, I will share my experience with you until then!

I almost follow exactly your propositions around my cardio. I´m unable to do running or anything with high impact an my feet (I broke my left Heifer's leg/ankle multible times 10 years ago) but walking in the right shoes is perfekt for me. I started with 6km (around 8000steps) a day in my first week and I increast this number to 10 km (around 12000 steps) a day now in week 5. And i walk in a speed of around 6-7km/h in real nature, I have the time and I like it very much. Also there are always some uphill and downhill parts on my path. Walking is the true gamechanger for fatlos! Thank you for your content!

One of the best and most reliable nutritional channels on KZread!! Thanks a lot for all the detailed information you’re providing us 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Congrats on going Pro Doc! All your hard work, diligence, discipline and resilience paid off. What an inspiration for me! 💪

@@travisn346I thought the same thing but it’s only because I have built so much muscle doing this much cardio on top of the strength training and muscle I’ve built I would be stick thin. Someone with less muscle mass isn’t burning as much throughout the day so longer cardio wouldn’t burn off as much.

“Sustainably” this view point is key!

Hello @doctormikediamonds you may not see this but I started this program March 5, 2024. As of April 3, 2024 I went from 210lbs to 204lbs. And not tired afterwards. Thank you for this!

i am 5ft 8 inches and 32 years old. From April 2023 to January 2024 i went from 226lbs to 144lbs. I used to weigh my food etc years ago when i used to train before i got into an unfortunate accident. Ate my life away during rehab and when i decided i do not like how i feel walking up my staircase i decided to return to my dieting etc. This time i did not have to count calories into an app etc because i maintained my knowledge on foods and was able to eyeball 2200 calories, 2000 calories and 1800 calories.. roughly.. what helped me lose fat while maintaining my strength was what is in this video... formal and informal cardio. I am not going to put false info here so on one lift i did lose strength which was the deadlift. I went from a 300lb deadlift to 265-270lbs.. Reason being is because mass moves mass. Just keep your steps up folks, add more veges and less rice.. Rice is not bad lol just an example of mindful substitutes on your fat loss journey. At this current date i am 150lbs after 4 weeks of eating at maintenance with some junk food here or there.. Mostly water weight and muscle glycogen as my physique measures the same most days... Reason for this is to get my body accustom to my newly desired baseline weight. After a fat loss diet your body is prime to put on body fat so just be mindful while you slowly increase those calories.

@@MrXrisd01 carb cravings can be a sign of an unhealthy gut microbiomes, specifically in relation to Candida Albicans overgrowth. Since they feed off carbs, they will try and force you to eat more of them. I'd suggest getting some kefir(water/milk or both) grains, fermenting your own kefir and taking a little of that daily. You have to make the choice not to give in, once you get thru the first few days they will start to subside. In addition, carb cravings can be a sign of lack of sleep or poor sleep, as the body is trying to produce more serotonin, which carbs help with. If you aren't sleeping 7-8 hours a day, that should be your first starting point.

This was the best advice I ever received from a trainer, plus I could understand and retain the information. Thanks 👏🏽

I just stumbled upon this video. You had me at professional NATURAL bodybuilder. Look forward to learning about your regiment.

This man here stands upto his name - Diamond !! thank you for this , its unbelievable how you are giving all these info for free. thanks a ton!

This video and plan makes a LOT of sense to me. I have just started to get back to the gym for 1 month now and have noticed after a short warm up my HR is anywhere from 130 to 150 for majority of the workout. I want to follow this 14 week plan and will report back on how I do. This is totally doable for me, makes sense and I'm excited to try!

Im 48 now and HAVE to get my life together .. I’m definitely going to start this today! Time to challenge myself above and beyond 👏🏾💪🏾

hi dr. Mike great video! super informative, thanks for making it easy to absorb and follow!

I love this . I’m 67 years old and need to lose 10 stubborn lbs. Doing incline but not enough. I will try to incline more and keep my heart rate to 120-140. I used to walk a lot but recently got plantar fasciitis and it has slowed me down.

Amazing content! Yes, I have subscribed!!!!! What a great structured program.

Total Shape took a look at these techniques and approved. This gives credibility to me. Really like this emphasis on cardio for weight loss. Weight loss is what people are looking for!

super informative. I’ve been back in the gym lately, and I’ll definitely implement this

Thank you for the great advices! Really helpful! I am a runner and trying to get faster by keeping easy runs at lower HR. I plan to use a variation of the recommended schedule.

Great one, love treadmill with max incline, watching articles on phone without wasting time

You got my attention at "cheescake while..."

Excellent presentation! I am 56 yrs old and am fairly active. However I will try this structured approach to reduce belly fat. Thank you for your candid and direct advice.

Thank you so much! This very informative and helpful!

I wish I can talk to you directly.

I am 63 years old, even though my weight is normal but my fat loss is as high as 20-25% for so long no matter how much I try to exercise and diet. I will try this approach and see the progress. Thanks so much Dr. Mike for your sharing.

(Combined notes from another commenter) Zone 2 is the most optimal for fat loss: 127-144 beats per minute Informal cardio: - tracked by number of steps (around 1000 steps every 10 minute) - 72 bpm range - to counteract body trying to reserve energy from being in a state of caloric deficit - Tips: walk between sets, 5 minutes per hour, walk as much as you can Formal cardio: - 120-140 bpm Modality: - Incline treadmill or elliptical or stairmaster Phase 1: Week 1: 8K steps and No formal cardio Week 2: 8.5k steps and 3 Sessions of 15 min Week 3: 9.5k steps and 3 Sessions of 20 min Week 4: 10 k steps and 3 Sessions of 25 min Phase 2: Week 5: 10.5 k steps and 4 Sessions of 30 min Week 6: 11 k steps and 4 Sessions of 30 min Week 7: 11.5 k steps and 4 Sessions of 30 min Week 8: 12 k steps and 4 Sessions of 30 min Phase 3: Week 9: 12.5 k steps and 5 Sessions of 35 min Week 10: 13 k steps and 5 Sessions of 45 min Week 11: 13.5 k steps and 5 Sessions of 45 min Week 12: 14 k steps and 6 Sessions of 45 min Phase 4: Week 13: 14.5 k steps and 7 Sessions of 45 min Week 14: 15 k steps and 7 Sessions of 60 min

Do you have to do the different cardio in the timeframe given or do you have to do every cardio session 30/40/45 min?

Loved this video - as I am a post menopausal woman I am not aiming to be extremely shredded, just mobile & healthy - the weight loss is slow - combining 3 x strength based workouts a week, a step count between 10 - 14k per day (depending upon deficit or bulk) which are 5 to 8km walks, and what you call formal cardio on gym days 3 x per week (mainly backwards treadmill walking on an incline x 2 for 15mins for knee health + 1 session of 3min intervals on a stair climber x 5 to get 15mins) - I am trying to increase my formal cardio slowly as I really do not enjoy it at all. Feel I am reasonably consistent regarding activity, and of course keeping to a calorie deficit is a priority. But I am a very average 59yr old just going a day at a time.

@Doctor Mike - how do you pages off this program without gaining back the fat? Thanks so much for this video and the time you put into it. Amazing

One of my favourite tracks with two of my favourite artists. Still gives me chills too at that point. Jay is smooth and has swagger. Em is sharper, more intense.

High intensity cardio has changed my game. In 6 months I went down 3 sizes (from size 40 US to size 36). Intermittent fasting and cardio helped. I do an hour & 5 minutes 2 to 3 times a week. These videos are a big help.
