So inspiring, thank you! I'm recovering from a broken leg and just able to start walking longer distances. Doing 3 to 5 miles walking in my home with videos with my kitchen counter nearby just in case. Can't wait to be able to walk on paths outside again. For me, reason no. 6 to walk is:"walking is a gift, because when you cannot walk you understand what a gift it is".
So true! I have a friend who's battling cancer and is in the hospital right now. I can only imagine what she would give to be able to take a walk outside right now. Thank you for watching!
I walk with my mom (95! With pacemaker) to her mailbox (200ft away) n back. Then we are at the step up into her townhouse so we just practice stepping up and then down 10 x before going inside…And another good thing to try is with your hand on the counter, walk backward a few steps then turn around and do it again with your other hand on counter to keep you steady. It counteracts your body wanting to walk bent forward from the sitting. That bit every day helps her circulation n the hip muscles to help lift her legs for stepping into bath or shower. It helps;) Have a good day!🎉 0:11
Thanks Dave! I think we all have a certain mindset about how fast or slow we run or walk. Some people need to break a sweat to feel like they’ve accomplished their goal. I was once a runner too. It takes a bit of time and encouraging words that you give to transition from runner to (distance)walker. No you don’t always get that “runners high”, but enjoying nature gives me my new high during my walks! Saw an American eagle today😊
you know what is beautiful. looking forward to a walk, rather than looking forward to reaching for the bottle. I have/had/still have (?) a drinking problem, but the thought of taking a casual walk is a breath of relief.
I do walk a mile in 20 minutes. That is my pace. I use the app “map my walk” and it records my pace, duration, calories, and at the same time my Fitbit counts my steps and heart rate. And now I am also walking with your videos. It really helps pas the time. And I’m 73. I feel better when I get out every morning and your videos are encouraging. Thank you.
Thank you Dave. I walk five days every week. I like a 3 MPH rate. I found that some 60's music has the right "pace" to work well with a 3 MPH walk. The military found out many years ago that anyone can walk farther / faster with music or a "drum-beat. It works.
I’m fortunate to have some pretty steep hills here in my neighborhood. For decades I’ve been doing this 2.5 mile route at predawn and catch the sunrise as I’m finishing up. Always gives a positive spin to the start of my day. Thanks for your efforts on TH-cam!
I walk my dog a bit over a mile every morning. He's a male, so we stop A LOT. I'd rather just focus on walking, but the walk is for both of us, so he gets his recreation and I get what exercise I can.
Agree that all walking is good for you no matter the pace! That being said, they've had studies now showing that your walking pace is correlated to all cause mortality risk. The faster your average walking pace, the less likely you are to die from any cause.
As a walker I ditched my riding mower about 3 years ago. Now I use an electric push mower (avoids breathing in the exhaust) which pushed me into higher intensity exercise zone. I will often push mow around 10 minutes to top off a morning walk. At least according to my Oura ring it pushes my heart rate by 15 to 20 bpm over my walking rate which averages 3+ mph.
Last year my doc threatened to put me on statins for cholesterol. I began a good walking routine and felt so much better. Then I retired and then the excuses came. My scales have an option that shows metabolic age and now it's showing me 5 years older than my 63 years! Thanks for the motivation. At least here in NC the weather is changing and it's more comfortable to be outside.
I had to chuckle .... I always figured you were most likely a fast walker and only slowing the pace while you did your video's. Aside from the dangers, it would be pretty hard to hold the phone still while moving so fast. I really appreciate your videos and your your motiving words. I'm in my 60's and have been a life long walker. Thank you!
@@WalkingisFitness Can I ask what eyeglass brand it is you're wearing in this vid? I walk 2mi. every day. The dog knows no holidays. Enjoy your videos.
Just starting to exercise again thanks to coming across your video. I would have procrastinated for days? weeks? months but luckily your pleasing voice and kind demeanor combined with gentle but firm encouragement was just what I needed to cross over the threshold. Looking forward to playing your videos, one a day, while I walk on my treadmill because it's too hot outside these days. Thanks for putting in the effort to make videos that benefit strangers who might need a safe place to start caring for themselves.
Did Parkrun yesterday mainly walking (as having to take it easy as recently diagnosed with HCM and still having tests) and it took me just under an hour to get round the beautiful X country 5k (3.1m) course in the Sunshine, so, not too bad for now..helping to keep my BP and RHR in check, as I found when I got home and after 30 mins rest and measured my bp and my low 50s rhr that my rhr was looking better at 65bpm and bp was normal, so am well pleased, thanks to the good walking, and to your videos..👍
Great video, Dave. By the way, there is an app called “Map My Walk” where you can record the steps, route and speed. You actually record the time and distance so a little math is required. Congratulations on a great video. Exercise is really a life changer. Definitely subscribing. ~ Robert
I enjoyed your video on walking speed and giggled some as you were talking about your speed for these videos.. I remember you talking last year about how your son had taken you for a what did you call it??? “A forced march” when you were visiting him.. speed does matter but it definitely doesn’t have to be every day at that speed.. thank you for sharing!!
Great video; thanks! Sometimes I prefer to walk in quietness, but sometimes, to make sure I'm getting the aerobic benefits I want, I pop musical walking tapes into an old-fashioned cassette player that fits easily into a wearable pack. The music's fun and isn't loud, and it's specifically structured so that the beats-per-minute are paced at 3.4 to 3.6 miles per hour depending on which side of the cassette is played.
My pace is sprint 100 yards. Walk back to starting line. 30 in morning. 30 after dinner. That’s my pace. 6,000 done this summer, 10,000 by Halloween. Age 69. About 11,000 steps and 4,200 strides. Let’s go! Stop eating for two. Start eating for one. Stop exercising for one. Start exercising for two. There you go.
I once read an article about intermittent pacing - go fast, go slow Eg 2 min at faster pace, followed by 2 min at slower pace Do this a couple of times = 10 minutes
Cardiac Rehab - The faster the better. 3,5 mph+ if you can do it. Became a member of the zipper club November 2022. Walking 2-miles, weather permitting. Also using a recumbent bike.
Great video! Slow, mindful walking in the early hours of the morning is great for mental health and slower walking also burns relatively (in %, not absolute)) more body fat than carbs because a slow pace is less stressful and releases fewer hormones, e.g., Cortisol & Insulin.
@@WalkingisFitness totally unrelated to the comment but I wasn't feeling it today. Didn't even put on my Apple Watch when I woke up. Didn't sleep well. Was over tired and wicked cranky. Told myself no walk was needed today and made excuses to be as lazy as possible. I had to go to the store and listened to todays podcast while driving. Didn't want to get behind. It inspired me to go for a walk when I got home with my bonus/extra day for the year.
Pace to me is not so much ground speed but instead steps per minute. I am oldish, slow and out of shape, so at the beginning of a regime, I set a metronome to 50 BPM which is 100 steps per minute. With a 30" gait, I know I would cover a mile in 21 minutes. These parameters can be adjusted and slowly improved. Pace x gait x time walking. After two weeks, I can move the metronome to 52 and then 54... I can increase my gait by two inches, and total time walking by 5 or 10 minute increments. It adds up.
Walking is great and fun but doesn’t help your bones unless you’re using a weighted vest !!! I’m after Bone building I’m a senior so that’s important for me❤
I'm trying to slow down my walking pace. Years ago I learned to walk brisk from my dad. "Swing the legs from your hips!" He'd say. I get a bit out of breath and my back will cramp up. (Losing basketball tummy). So if I go slower everything is well
On a treadmill or any machine in the gym, I always employ a quick walking or climbing pace. Mostly varying my pace from medium to very fast, up to 4.7 mph on a treadmill for example. No running. Be careful though. That's a pretty fast walking pace and you can easily fall. My reasoning for this is, If you always walk slow, you'll be less able to get to and sustain a quick pace if an occasion in the real world requires it.
I walk 12-16 miles, 3-4 times each week in my neighborhood. My pace is 13.35/mile for the first two miles and averages 13.45/mile overall. My wife stopped walking with me because of my pace - she needed to jog to keep up.
I walk 2 miles everyday in ~30 minutes (4 miles per hour). I go up a steep hill for about 3/4 of a mile. I've been walking for ~20 years before that I rode bikes. I'm 79 and in perfect health.
I like to look at my heart rate on my Fitbit when I walk to determine if I’m walking at a good pace. I tried to aim for anywhere between low 90s to 120s which may include a light intermittent jog. My resting heart rate is in the low 50s.
I walk fast which is in cardio, I burn a lot of calories and keep burning even when I've finished and sitting down, that's the really good benefit of walking fast. I have lost 7 kilos so far and still losing, so I must be doing something right!
I think about my walking pace a lot. I use an Apple Watch to monitor my steps, mileage, heart rate and pace. I am 63 and my body height is 5’8”. My current weight is 160 pounds. I can walk well below the 20 minute per mile pace. I can do walks in the high 18 to low 19 minute miles. But my comfort zone for a walking pace on a flat even smooth surface is 20-21 minutes per mile. When I walk in a nearby state park daily, on dirt, rocky, curvy, up hill and down hills path ways, I usually walk in the 22-23 minute range. Should MPH average vary with the height and stride length of the walker? I am regularly passed by other walkers on the flat asphalt walkways, by taller walkers who appear to have longer legs and thus can produce more distance per stride or RPM. In my attempts to “keep up” with these walkers, I feel like I my walking is on the verge of jogging or light running just to keep up. I know these faster walkers are walking almost 3.75 to 4.0 mph pace.
Great question. I’m not a personal trainer so I can’t answer the specifics of your question, but my wife is about a foot shorter than me and our comfortable pace is per different. The key, according to experts, is really about getting the heart rate elevated from time to time…and that is going to differ based on height, weight, etc…. Thanks for watching!
I walk everyday, been walking at different parks nearby, 3-4-5-6-7 miles per day took a while to build up to that, recently been having foot pain, so restarting again, and fighting the pain with some toe tubes, better shoes, and good inserts on top of the shoes original insert, the threat of not being able to get out there, is depressing, but we are pushing through
I walk an hour every day but I never seem to improve the length of my walk. I think I walk fast as I pass other walkers on the trail but I'm always "done" at the end of one hour and my pace is always the same. I never want to increase the length of my walk. I have a lower lumbar fracture which is chronic and my lower back is always ready to stop at the end of one hour. I used to walk all day with the Sierra Club in California and I'm happy I've gotten many very long hikes in. What I am trying to say is that I'm consistent but not ever getting stronger walking briskly for the past 3 years. I'm seventy now.
A break in the walk will boost you another half hour I get the same problem at 1 hour 20 minutes if I want 2 hours I stop 2/3s i stretch stand touch toes take in the view and then I can blast out the final section....
I got a treadmill last Fall so that I could keep walking through the Canadian Winter and learned that my average pace is about 2.7 miles per hour. I walk 3 miles a day. I'm 63. I guess that's just not good enough eh?!
This in NOT encouraging for people who have lung, heart, bone, etc. disease for which quick pace walking is not ever going to be possible. Do you have any input on that?
I’m so sorry for the challenges you’re facing. I’m not a doctor or licensed personal trainer, but would suggest you ask a professional for the best way to incorporate walking with any intensity into your regular routine
@@ArlenePMCMANY walking is better than sitting. My mother has stage mid stage COPD and uses a walker and she goes slow, but she walks the hallways of her senior apartment a little bit each day and she loves that she still has the ability to do even something that minimal. It means the world to her.

I got a treadmill last Fall so that I could keep walking through the Canadian Winter and learned that my average pace is about 2.7 miles per hour. I walk 3 miles a day. I'm 63. I guess that's just not good enough eh?!
I would never say that. All walking is good. That 3-4 mph is an average and didn’t take into consideration factors like height.
I gotta be careful about pace. The sidewalks tend to be cracked and I am a clutch.
Sidewalks can be dangerous because of cracks and what they call “height variability”
Keep it simple. JUST WALK. If you get tired. 1. you're not fit. 2. you're not fit.
