I Walked 20,000 Steps Daily for 30 Days

- I’ve always loved long walks and for the last 2 months had religiously gathered at least 10k steps daily, so I thought why not challenge myself a bit more and try to do 20k daily? And so I did. I walked 20,000 every day for 30 days.
In this video I take you with me on my journey and share all the amazing benefits I gained, including reduced stress and anxiety, mental clarity, and even weight loss. However, a challenge is not a challenge without some unexpected struggles…

It takes me 2.5 hrs to walk 20k steps. I start at 4am & finish by 6:30am which burns 800 cal. Took me a month to go from 10k to 20k. Everything you said holds true for me too! My body, mind & soul feel aligned & I'm the happiest version of myself! I also burn 200 cal in the evening by stretching & lifting weights for 30mins. Thanks for sharing your experience! 💕
Oh, wow, 2.5 hours for 20k steps. You are fast 🔥
It took me 3 and half hours to walk 23k steps
@@noorfarooq5030 @Noor Farooq I'm 5.9 so I guess that's a factor to consider. What's impressive is you walk 20k inspite of time it takes!
@@Nocturnal_Lorena aha thanks I just need a good music playlist then I can walk for a long time aha, and I'm 5'3
@@noorfarooq5030 Oh yeah, I wouldn't last a minute without my playlist lol. I find fast paced trance/house music the best to keep a steady pace.
I reversed my pre diabetes...just by walking extra every day and avoiding sugary foods....I love these kind of videos....
That’s amazing! I’m so happy for you ❤️
@@IlvaIgnatovica thank you and please never stop putting out such amazing content...
Amazing 😊
I did 20k per day for 6 weeks. 8k at 5am and 8k at 5pm, 7 days a week. The other 4k I got through my normal work day. Completley turned my health profile around. Blood pressure went from 180/110 to 130/85. My chloresteral went from 255 down to 193 and I lost 20 pounds off my skinny fat frame. I also stopped drinking and stopped eating most carbs.
20 pounds in 6 weeks ?? 😲👏👏👌
Great job.. well done 👏
Your last sentence is 90% of all you’ve benefited from those six weeks, not your walking.
@@videogazer801 There is more to it than that. My 5k runs drastically improved, my timed one minute mile was as fast as anytime as an adult. My mental clarity and energy was through the roof. This positive energy impacted my friends, family and coworkers. The amount of learning material I was able to absorb. I've changed my diet and quit drinking several times in my life. It was the combination of the low impact exercise AND deleting garbage from my diet that made all the difference.
@@sinchanagopalakrishna132 I lost 3 dress sizes in 6 weeks but only about 2 pounds a week. I went from a UK size 14 to UK size 8
I just did 10k steps for 7 days, motivated to do 10k steps for 30 days! This was so motivating to watch. Thank you for sharing this ♥
That’s so awesome. Good luck!
Last month I challenged myself and walked one million steps per month , which is roughly an average of 36k steps a day. It was a lot easier than I thought. I’m going do it again this month
Walking is the best. I love how gourmand starts to wonder if you aren't distracted by your phone, and all the mental processing that happens during the walk.
I have been wanting to go from 10k a day to 20k and more. I have no problem doing it physically, however finding the motivation to go out and walk for hours when it hasn't stopped raining for more than a day at a time for the last 18 months is a different story. I hate living in England some times :(
Omg, I feel the pain, what I ended up doing is investing in a walking pad so I don't have to worry about the wet, windy and cold uk weather, best investment I ever made
“It’s like my mind is tidying itself up” 🥰 YES! I fully relate to this! Great video and such a lovely perspective on this challenge xx
I got a desk treadmill for my office two weeks ago I am averaging 18,000-21,000 steps a day. All from my desk at work from 9am-5pm. I’m on my third week and I’m feeling great! I recommend walking to everyone that can!
Where did you get it?? 😮

Amazon and Walmart have them online!

The brain effects are even better when doing the steps in big chunks
Beta endorphin (happy chemical) doesnt get released until weve walked at least 30 mins. So 3 seperate hours is much better for mood than just a few steps frequently throughout the day. I always did ny steps in 3 x 1 hour sessions.
As a Finnish person I am *stunned* and amused that you would describe a sunny trail in nature as sketchy and creepy 😂 What on earth! My favorite thing about the location I currently live in is that in every direction there is a forest, field or nature reserve close by! It really motivates me to go out! During certain times they are full of people, mostly walking their dogs, but I often get so absorbed in my work making games that I only remember to go out at night and the only area I've felt slightly uncomfortable at night is where the local bar is.
I once spent an overnight in a holding cell/drunk tank lol. Basically a concrete box with a concrete bed and no mattress or pillow. It was horrific and really an abuse by the police to put a person in those conditions for being drunk while walking home. Anyway, it was the most anxietal, terrifying, and awakening situation in my life. And more than any other thing, when I was let out the next day, just being able to walk around (not drunk lol) and go anywhere your mind desires is a FREEDOM many of us take for granted soooooooooooooooooooooo much. Walking = Freedom.
You nailed it when you said you can do all these simultaneous activities while walking. I finish multiple books every week. There is no way in hell i would ever read that many books in one week. My recommendation for a really good walking book is "Atomic Habits"
Atomic habits is truly a great book. Life changing stuff!
It’s so sad but as a girl I would be so afraid to walk through wooded desolate areas alone let alone in tight clothes :’( you look great btw
Oh, I get that! I’m blessed to live in an amazing city, or country for that matter, so have never felt scared. Since i was little, kids would just roam around alone, i think it’s a culture thing. That being said, I still know where i’m walking and specifically choise areas i’m super comfortable with :)
It’s funny that people say that. I never see any dubious characters in the forest. They’re in the cities.
If a bad guy is going to attack you he’ll do it regardless of what you are wearing, because even children and women in full burquas are raped, because it’s about power, not about lust at all. That being said, you can look up safe walking paths in your area, and go with a friend if you feel like you still need the support.
I love walking on trails but I never go without my husband because I never feel safe out there alone. I'd love to live somewhere where I could explore nature alone.
I also have a fear of walking alone in the woods, not only because of the fear of being raped or murdered, but I live in an area with a lot of predator wild life which also scares me so much! I totally feel this girl. Lately, I've been trying to challenge myself by going for hikes alone because I know deep down I shouldn't allow that fear to stop me from doing something that I actually love to do.
Enjoyed watching this video and listening to your take on this workout regime. I'm a lifelong endurance athlete but unfortunately injuries have taken a toll on me both mentally and physically. I've transitioned into walking/hiking to stay active. I'm sticking with the 20,000 steps daily so far and I've enjoyed it.
Way to go!!! I saw your tiktoks from time to time. what you accomplished was impressive!
Thank you so much! 😌
I’ve just started walking a week ago. Been hitting 6-8k steps and already feel so good. I have about 6 kilos to lose but i walk for other therapeutic benefits, especially for my diabetes. Such an underrated excercise!
This is fascinating. I came across your video searching others who have walked a lot of steps for an extended period of time. I’ve been in a school house for the military for the last 30 weeks and have averaged 22,000 steps a day in that time. Some days clocking in over 45,000 steps. Seeing your positive reaction and thinking on how having to walk everywhere has positively effected my health, I’m convinced everyone should be walking way, way more than they do now. Movement is life!
I did want to ask how much more you found yourself eating. Personally, I found my self eating almost an entire extra meal’s worth of calories 😅 lots of snacking in the evening.
Couldn’t agree with you more-movement is life!
You know, interestingly I wasn’t that hungry. 😄 I obviously made sure to eat enough and eat well, but otherwise my food intake was the same.
Most people actually feel less hungry when they exercise. I eat a plant exclusive diet and was eating around 1500 calories a day when walking my 20k steps a day. The same amount of calories I ate before I started exercising
Watching a bunch of your videos today after TH-cam recommended you, and this inspired me to get moving by walking!
That makes me so happy! ❤️
I did this 20,000 Steps Daily for 13 Days then burnt out; it's tough!
Great video!! We learn so much about ourselves when we push the limits!❤😊
That’s very true. Thank you! ❤️
I stay in India my country has bad road n traffic so it's difficult to walk for a long distance.... But tomorrow I am gonna do that...
Safety always comes first! If a long walk is something you can’t really do, then walk a little bit. It’s always better than nothing:)
Just visit different Park every day even I stay in Bangalore I do 15k every day , give it a try
I’ve been walking at least 20,000 steps a day for about 3 years. On a good day I’ll get 50,000
That’s amazing!
How? That seems impossible
It is a boat load of discipline to accomplish this.
followed ur tiktok when u did this challange. cool to see the behind the scenes 🤩 you go girl, happy to see your videos
Aww, thanks so much!
Ran into this after my last walk! Unfortunately I hit 18746. Cheers to your journey outside of these 30 days.
That's awesome you kept it up. I barely have the time for 10k steps a day. Half the time it's not too bad, but the rest of the days it's not possible. I may get three hours of free time a day and an hour of that is spent in the gym
I daily naturally get 14k steps and i love walking
That’s amazing!
Don’t you get bored of the same routes? Or you tried to switch it up as often as you could? My problem is that I get bored of routes so fast (even if I listen to music or podcasts), I live in a big city and really in the center, so Im like where should I go? Not so many parks (or just smaller ones), not so many hiking rails around and I get bored so easily and get frustrated with not knowing where to go (also try to avoid touristy places with many people), when to turn back around, etc…
So I’m curious how you got over that (if it bothered you any way at all) or “planned” your routes beforehand?
Btw you really motivated me and planted the seed in my head, so I’m definitely gonna try to walk 20k a day after New Year’s Eve for 30 days 😊
Sometimes i do, but that’s why I try to mix it up as much as i can! I’m lucky to live in a place where there’s a lot of places to walk, so that’s really helpful. Also sometimes i drive to a park or even outside the city and then walk there. I think it all comes down to my outlook on it-The more grateful I am to even be able to walk and enjoy fresh air, the less I complain about little things! :)
And good luck in your 30 day challenge! ❤️
I Love this video so much!
Thank you for sharing!
It is Very Inspiring to me.
I'm so glad! ❤️
Just saw this video. Nice tips & it's indeed quite a displcined acitivty to make it to 20k steps daily. I try & do 14k to 16k steps overall daily. It takes some thought, discipline & dedication. Keep up the good work. 😊
Good preparation for the Camino de Santiago where you walk between 30,000 to 40,000+ steps per day.
Wow! Really? I’ll have to google that seems insane amount
You are amazing !! I am starting my 20k from today
That’s amazing! Good luck ❤️
Congratulations 🎉 👏…I’m currently on day 4 of my 20k step challenge. I broke it up with JumpRoping 10k first thing in the morning, which takes me 1 hour. Then walking off the rest during the day. You’re English is awesome for not being your mother tongue. How many languages do speak? Just curious bcuz I’d like to learn German. Thank you for making this video. Your editing is 💯 😊 ❤
Oh, that’s exciting! Wish you resilience and positive mind in your challenge 💪🏻
Fluently I speak in my mother tongue and in English. Currently I’m learning Korean as well :)
Is this a random challange or you have bigger (farther) goals for walking? Like the Camino trail or other ones?
Currently, no further plans. But i love to challenge myself, so you never know
I have knocked knees but the right one is more knocked so whenever I walk too much, my right hip hurts but I love walking 😢
Incorporate lots of steep hills if you can...been walking 30. years now..the key is inclines...you burn far more calories..😊
does running/jogging count towards step count? also wat shoes did u wear for most of ur walking?
hi ilva🎉🥳,
as a suggestion try walking barefoot and before walking make sure the path is clean and walkable and don't count steps and listen to audios etc embrace and appreciate the surroundings while walking, i think it enhace your experience of walking
I like this video and your content keep share your experience and stay tuned..
all the best🌱
That actually sounds amazing. In my country aide i walk barefoot a lot and it’s the best
What shoes do you reccommend?
main problem is the time it takes to do 10k steps walking, just 10k already take 2hours 4hrs just to walk walk feels like a waste of time
Any tips for blisters in the first week or so? Besides good shoes. I have great adidas shoes, but still get blisters.
I agree about the first hour. The first walk of the day feels so good, but the rest of the walking throughout the day feels like a chore 😅💀 I try to listen to podcasts but I do find walking very boring. I prefer riding a bike and swimming and other forms of cardio. Oh well
I think any kind of movement is amazing! It’s all about finding what you love
Very encouraging
Did you walk 20k steps only from actively walking or was it cumulative from your walks & steps in ur daily life (I.e. walking to ur bathroom, to ur room etc) ?
Depeneded on the day. Some days 20k was just from the walks and then the extra 1k was gathered throughout my apartment. Other days it was 20k combining the both. I had a smartwatch with me at all times so my only rule was to get 20k every single day no matter where I am walking.
Fat loss is the key not scale weight. Smaller clothes size😊
I lost 3 dress sizes In 6 weeks going from a UK size 14 to a UK size 8. Probably only lost about 7 pounds tho. That was walking 20k steps a day in 3 x 1 hour chunks
Cool experiment. you mentioned you lost 2kgs, but would have been nice if you did some other objective tests as well, like running and comparing the times before and after, and perhaps some strength tests...Also, i don't know how much exercise your arms got during that, I think that using walking poles would have been great for some of the walks (i think it's called Nordic walking?)
Yeah, definitely. Since weight loss wasn’t my main objective, I didn’t focus on it that much. But there’s always room for in depth experiments in the future :)
I walk 10k and run 10k every day.... weight is stuck. I also fast and omad and I don't have my period thanks to coming off DEPO. I feel kinda lost tbh.
It sounds to me like you’re putting your body through way too much. I would recommend seeing a health professional to help you create a more sustainable daily lifestyle! But for starters, i would quit the fasting and omad and decrease the amount of km you run every day. Your body is not a robot, especially as a woman, loosing your period is a huge sign that all of this is too much. Try to be a bit more gentle with everything and see if that improves your overall wellbeing!
Your body isn't getting enough food and is overworked so it's holding on to what it has.
Go to the doc probably overeat or thyroid issues or commenting just to discourage others
Use a scale for everything you eat ❤ you’re probably overestimating. Hire a coach ❤. That’s what helped me.
I do this always!! even when I'm at home or more!? What's the problem
SOMETHING to seriously think about and plan for
Smart to bring mace and some other self defence object JUST IN CASE !
BE very observant of your surroundings too, not a good idea to wear headphones
Have you tried barefoot shoes? I love walking and this has been a major game changer for me. Feet are much stronger and happier.
No, I haven’t even heard of that! Will look it up
I wish I could walk more. My plantar fasciitis really flares up though
Did it help to listen to music when you walked?
Oh, absolutely! I love music so it just makes the walks way more fun
Yeah next time imma make sure someone is following me when im walking down one of those trails. Its gotta help get those extra steps in.
I walk 20000 steps a day for 3 month i last 42 p
I experienced nearly the same ❤
I feel amazed when i was completed 30k steps per day it takes 5 hours and 20 km
Wow you did it 🎉🎉
One question what changed in your body?
Started my journey 🎉
Good luck!
Do you count the steps you take regularly or are the 20k steps just from the actual walks?
It’s 20k steps a day altogether
I think I'm in love
I Can Walk Between 20-30k Steps Which 800-1400 Calories.
You can walk across any world city!
omg that smile 😍
I'm just beginning my 30 day 20k, I'm on day 2 lol
Oh, nice! Good luck
I once walked 25k steps a day for a month. Didnt measure myself lol.😅
How do I find a safe area near me to walk
Ughh, this is a hard one, i’m sorry you don’t feel safe where you are now.
For me, i live in a relatively safe and wonderful city so have never felt like I need to look for a specific place. Since I don’t know your area, i can’t really recommend anything specific other than travelling to a well-known, safe public space and then taking a stroll there!
Conceal carry
I usually do 40,000 steps in a day - only 4 1/2 hours.
Wow, you must be fast
Good Job!!! I walked my 2 Giant Schnauzers 5.19 miles in 1:24 this am ... That's prob a bit more than 10k steps you think? I want to get to 20k per day.. I might run 5 miles this afternoon without the Pups... But it's 90 degrees here today in the San Francisco Bay Area... Might take a nap instead! Lol.. : ) but you look great!!! So Cute! So healthy!!! I wish that you were "my walking buddy"... I'd love to walk miles and miles with you! ; ) : ) Please have a great day!!! : ) Thank you for the awesome Video!! You inspire me!!! : )
You look good, you are qualified to Puma walking shoes ads.
Eat as much or less as you do for the pass 2 months to keep the shape.
Lol i wish i could do my 20k in 4hours it takes me 8 hours 😂im working on speeding up i just walk really slow
Don’t be so hard on yourself! I get days where it takes me forever to just walk 5k. In the end It’s all about the intention and just moving your body regularly 💙
what about your weight loss by doing this?
She does not look like she needs to loose any weight.
Nice I do 15k steps a day too
Ou, nice!
Great you walked a lot why video yourself,vanity,something to show your friend,wow we learned everything about nothing, try putting some statistics together ( weight, blood pressure, bmi…….) oh by the way, that’s BEFORE and AFTER. You look fantastic before the walk. Xxx
It’s like asking an accountant why they’re counting numbers. 😄 i’m “videoing” myself, because this is what I do! The challenge (almost 1.5 years old now) was an awesome experience more focused on my mental and emotional well-being and is not meant to be a science video on BMI’s. It’s my personal, tiny documentary!
Why are you sounding harsh. It’s a challenge and she’s videoing!
Encouraging
Kur tik labi iemācījies angļu val., es tik pēc pazīstamām vietām sapratu, ka esi no LV.
Paldies! Man ir video par šo :) bet īsumā, kopš biju maziņa skatījos american tv un atkārtoju visu, ko dzirdēju līdz skanēja tāpat kā aktierim
20K is too many. For me it's 10K max.
Hey I have a gift, outwitting the devil by, napoleon hill. God bless.
Cool, Can i walk with u?
How much weight did u lose by these 30 days of walking?
1.8kg if i remember correctly :)
I think it’s because she’s already skinny though lol!! I hope a fatty like me can burn way more than 1.8kg in 30 days walking as much as I do now which is 20K/day…
After I quit my 10+ hrs a day just to pay the bills job I’ll get right on it.
Omg woods could have freaking weirdos lying in wait. Don’t do it.
First 25 seconds was so cringe that i had to pause it…SKIP
In your opinion
Looks like a made fit TH-cam bs video
I'm a walker and I'd like to know why do you walk so slow and why you don't seem to sweat. I walk 6,300 steps per hour and by the end of just 1 hour my head is sweating like crazy. I'd like to see you at the end of your walk. To be honest, I don't believe in all these videos of girls walking slow and not sweating at all. Too much bull... on on IG, tiktok and now, here.
My usual walking is a low effort activity, it does not make me tired hence i don’t sweat. My pace is 5-6k steps an hour.
But when i pick up the pace to like 7-8k an hour or if it’s super hot outside, then sure, I sweat a bit:)
There are people like me who sweat buckets, and there are people on the other end of that spectrum. Such is life. Just the way it is.
