I get up at 2 AM and walk the city for a few hours carrying 8 pound weights in each hand, yes it sounds extreme but the human body is capable of amazing things so if you are a walker try incorporating weights in your routine starting with 2 pound weights and working your way up to the heavier weights, the results are fantastic.
I understand his point... But most important is one should enjoy walking.. If one is consistent, then speed automatically improves... If needed, one can jog Or run in between for few meters..
agreed. I'm pretty sure anyone who walks for pleasure knows their own most efficient speed, though they may not have measured it. I for one am the explorer type. Part of the fun is motion, part is discovering new routes.
Apparently I’m walking to slow although I’ve been told I walk fast. My health app says I’m walking 2.5 MPH. I’m 83 years old so I think I have slowed down. I walk 3 miles almost every day.
3.4 mph is not a bad speed. If you are walking 5.5 miles a day that is fantastic! While walking speed is important, it is only one factor in your overall health.
This is interesting, but it's about one's natural/organic/without-thinking-about-it walking speed, yes? In other words, I just finished walking 6 miles and pushed my pace consciously versus the same distance the previous day but at a much more casual-stroll type pace.
I am a teacher in a primary school....Today at lunch after having lunch I was going towards the hand Washing area and as I was free from classes after lunch so I was pretty relaxed and was walking slower . That's why I got scolded by the principal as she said that she doesn't like teachers walking slow... Maybe I am slow... I feel bad.... I couldn't say anything because she is kinda the Hitler type.
@@hayley1868 omg I feel you, a girl behind me told me “damn you walk slow” There were people walking in front of me so I adjusted to their speed and when they dispersed, I guess I was still walking the same speed also the principal is an asshole
Walk prior to your first meal of the day. Wake up, 16oz water with a tablespoon or two of Apple cider vinegar and a packet of electrolyte mix.I use Propel Shake, drink, then go walking, or biking.
@@beaucarpenter4688 I got Skechers in wide ;-) also Merrell for hiking. There might be better shoes out there but for my budget these two do the trick and then some.

I started walking with speed of 3-3.5 for first few days ( 1 week ) and jumped to 5 and 5.5 ( 2 and 3 week ) and on my fourth week I walk with speed of 7 -7.5 easily on treadmill with 5 incline 🤩 🥵
Yo Joey, I am 62 years old and just walked one mile in 11 minutes and 46 seconds. I think that averages 5.2 miles per hour, guess not too bad for my age.

Don’t overthink it. Enjoy it. Half an hour to my favourite Coffee shop and back. Reward yourself until you enjoy it for it’s own sake…

Great advice will ...

Every step counts and every step makes a difference
Yes i agree , so many people want to complicate everything, this is all great advice ,but the real trick is simply get out and walk...
I don’t mind if somebody walks slowly, but when you do walk on the damn side! I walk faster than a lot of people and I STILL WALK ON THE SIDE!
what do you mean walk on the side? Side by side? or the side of grass or asphalt next to a sidewalk?
Such an awesome video, thanks!!
When I push it my short legs have a hard time getting past 3.4 mph. Me and my wife average around 5.5 miles a day.
3.4 mph is not a bad speed. If you are walking 5.5 miles a day that is fantastic! While walking speed is important, it is only one factor in your overall health.
@@MissionGait very true as it all adds up.
I can walk over 4 miles in one hour.
I've walked one mile in 13:30
Its not your short legs, you just dont have enough muscle there to move non muscle mass.

I walk way too fast, ppl literally think some wrong with me, I walk from 6 to 8 mph even reached 10 without trying.. no joke
You taking speed.
@@at9048 Nope
Calm.
There are just correlations not causations. This distinction needs to be made in order to not confuse people.

@@asiangamerrat2321 Thanks sis.... Need the support too much.
People like that are the ones who you should take advice from. They mean well.
I usually walk at 5.5 - 6 kph, for about 40 - 60 minutes, 3-4 times a week..is that bad? or under exercise..?
nah, you're good. But if you think you can and you're still enjoying it,, challenge yourself to 90min.
@@bogdiworksV2 thank you🤭🤭..will try to improve my speed and endurance..
Thanks
I walk 8kms in 50 mins is it good ?
I walk at 3.0 for 80-90 minutes am I okay?
Fascinating! Thanks for the info
Our pleasure!
My walking speed is 5.28kmh. is that perfect or not ?
Good stuff mate
Are we still burning calories slow or fast walkinng? Which can lead to weight loss
Everyone should walk at the speed they are comfortable at just do it.
Keep up a good pace ,without killing yourself, ,thats what i think...
I walk at around. 3.2 to 3.5 is tht to slow 🐌. Im super heavy now. I need to loose weight. 😫 i been averaging 15000 steps a day.
I walk 4.0 mph constant for 5 miles is this ok am desperately trying to lose weight ? Thanks
I think that is a great aspect of a weight loss program!
@@MissionGait thx appreciate it god bless
I do the same, I walk 5 miles/day at 4.0 mph
Intermittent fasting and low carb would help tremendously
Walk prior to your first meal of the day.
Wake up,
16oz water with a tablespoon or two of Apple cider vinegar and a packet of electrolyte mix.I use Propel
Shake, drink, then go walking, or biking.
My big toe hurts when I walk. I do about 5 miles a day at work. 2 on days off.
what shoes are you using? I have the same problem but it's better in well cushioned walking shoes.
@@bogdiworksV2 Nikes. Lol . What I learned was I have tight and weak calfs so I started doing full range calf raises and it subsided a bit.
@@beaucarpenter4688 aha, good tip. I'm going to try it as well. Thanks! What I meant by shoes, is whether the sole is cushy or not.
@@bogdiworksV2 it's kinda of cushy. Not like sketchers or any but decent. It's also they only shoe in wides I could find.

Is there a top end of ideal walking speed with 2.2 mph being the bottom end?
Ive walked one mile in 13:30
i doing 10km in above 2hour,long walking,pace 11.45 minit or 10 minit per 1km,my weight 94kg,is that ok?
That gait speed would be considered a normal speed.

As the old slogan says "Just do it"
I walk 12 km at least yesterday and I can switch to really fast or slowly
Mine 2.48 miles/hr .
Is it good?
Im amazed youre still alive!
That is certainly within the range of normal. As long as you are able to walk faster when needed a slightly slower pace is of no concern.
Walked 12 miles in 3.5 hours in 38 degree weather from 12-4 am this morning oww
That awkward moment when you're the old cripple, carrying 100lbs and still, everyone else is walking slower than both you and shit.
After watching this video and seeing a pedometer I install in my phone I realized I am walking a bit too fast.😅
This is terrible information . Do not time your steps or strides. Just walk👍💪🍀
I started walking with speed of 3-3.5 for first few days ( 1 week ) and jumped to 5 and 5.5 ( 2 and 3 week ) and on my fourth week I walk with speed of 7 -7.5 easily on treadmill with 5 incline 🤩 🥵
7.5 miles per hour?
That's running for me!
Wait..those are in mph or kph??
I can’t even run 7 miles per hr.
It is impossible to walk 7mph.
You come here with these bullshit lies?KMT
I walk too slow ...well I have knock knees n that's much bended outward so yeah! N I'm just 16
Mine Avg 5.5km/h 10km perday morning walk
I usually walk at 7 kmph
That's a fairly fast speed!
4.375 miles/hr.
That's my running speed lol 😀
Mine is 1.8865 is that any good
If that is in miles per hour, it's not bad. A little bit slower than average, but often this can be normal depending on the person.
At so short distance i can walk at 5 miles per hour
Yo Joey, I am 62 years old and just walked one mile in 11 minutes and 46 seconds. I think that averages 5.2 miles per hour, guess not too bad for my age.
that"s very impressive, keep it up, I'm 18 and you beat me @@trw3865
Dude I need a ride...
hii
My walks are measured in hours per mile😠
Wowo
My speed is 4.6kph
Perfect, that is essentially the average walking speed.
