I haven't walked much since my dog passed away. My partner can't walk far anymore. I would walk with Jim because I don't want to carry on a conversation while walking. Happy New Year to you both.
I walk at the gym every day but I also run on the treadmill anywhere between 20 and 30 minutes. Yesterday I ran 20 minutes and today I ran 30 minutes. Anyway, I spend about 2 hours in the mornings at the gym except for weekends which is my rest days. You need to encourage Jim to walk more.
Hello Jim and Steve! My running days are over, so I walk also. My wife isn't really into it as she stays busy with other stuff. So, it is more of my quite time, exercise time for my dog, and a chance to talk to whoever I run into. This coming week, my dog and I are heading out for a week of camping. I'll use camp as a base camp to explore the high mountain desert by Paradox, Colorado (just east of Moab UT and Arches National Park). We'll hike every day; which will be a great kick off to the upcoming year's mileage. have a great week!
@stevesvlog thank you so much!! This will be on the high mountain desert of Colorado. So, it only gets snow showers, but doesn't really accumulate and stay. The down side is of the 6 days, none will be above freezing. And the lows will be between 1 and 12 degrees. To say I am looking forward to our short trip to Palm Springs at the end of January is an understatement!!
This is turning into a singles video. Like long walks on beach. Playing video games and hot lunches. Lol. I used to love to walk. Until I got cancer in my leg and now it's messed up and I don't walk well. I would love to have someone like Steve to walk with. Be fun to walk and chat and enjoy your surroundings. That's one of the reasons I don't walk. I have no one to walk with. I also am a caregiver for a family member and don't have a lot of time to walk. Something I need to talk to my doctor about. I love you and Jim together. You guys laugh and have a lot of fun with each other. You both take care.
I have a treadmill that I push against my breakfast bar and use that as a standing desk. I start my workday answering emails and walking. When I'm done, it goes back in the coat closet.
Hi. I like to walk in the summer but not in the winter. Now with arthritis in my knees, feet , spine it's been harder to walk .my walking in shovelling snow , some shopping. LoL. My views are not as nice as your great views of Palm Springs. Have a great week. Take care. Deborah 🇨🇦
In my unprofessional opinion, lol, it really does sound like Jim could benefit from an economical treadmill. He doesn’t need a fancy schmancy, multi-function, 100 button programmable treadmill. I’m wondering if anyone in the Coachella Valley has one that they would just want to get rid of for free to make space. You two can mount a small TV screen on the wall and watch TH-cam or a movie while walking indoors. There are even TH-cam videos of “walking Palm Springs” downtown so Jim can feel as if he’s actually out & about walking outside while still being in the comfort of air conditioning. No need to get dressed up (or dressed at all) to walk! 😂
Good suggestion, but he doesn’t like that idea. We have tried it in the past and it’s just not like walking outdoors. Plus I really love to walk outside. He says he’s just gotten lazy and doesn’t want to walk at all. Hopefully he will change his mind at some point. I’m sure I will walk until I drop. It’s my favorite part of every day. 😎👍
There’s a crème called topricin that doesn’t smell or burn but it will go down to the nerve. It might help. My boyfriend gets sciatic pain in his lower back and goes down his leg and there’s been times he hasn’t been able to get out of bed and I put that stuff on him three or four times and he’s able to walk after a day or two. Great for arthritis also.! Usually get it in health food stores but I’ve seen it at rite aide or cvs.
I love to go on walks! I usually walk my dogs daily, but it's gotten too cold outside. I'll have to wait for spring to start up again. I'm in Michigan.
Hello 👋 Steve and Jim I hope you had a wonderful new years day.. im like you Steve i like to talk especially when I get a chance to but living alone i don't have that opportunity much..keep walking Steve its good for you..with my arthritis im limited to walking but I keep moving around i just can't sit down.
Walking doesn't do much for weight loss but it does keep my blood sugar levels down and I think it helps with controlling blood pressure. My blood work was "pristine" last time I had it tested. Walking is definitely good for bone and muscle health as well as the heart and lungs. In fact, all organs benefit from walking. I always wear a wide brimmed (fishing) hat with a flap at the back and a mineral sunscreen spf 50.
Happy New Year, Steve and Jim. I would love to walk with jim. I am very quiet when I walk. I walk slowly because I have asthma. Steve, you are a fantastic walker. My mother and i used to walk 6 miles a day together when I was little. Have a great new year.
Like with everything, use it or lose it. Tell jim to do gentle excercises, even yoga,pilates etc are really good and dont put pressure on joints or maybe see a dr for stuff you can take for stiff joints but the key is to keep moving because inactivity will make it worse.
My husband doesn't like to walk also, because he's knees hurting alot. I myself love to walk almost 1 hour a day . Steve, good for you that you're walking daily. Stay healthy and God bless.
Hi Steve & Jim, it's interesting how diverse we all can be in relationships, but still find common ground to balance things out. I walk and get alot of exercise throughout the day, because of my occupation and my partner likewise puts out a huge amount of physical energy in relation to his work, so when it comes to timeout and relaxing, we each go our own way based on our personal preference and energy level. Last summer I developed lower back pain radiating down my leg. Decided to pay more frequent visits to my chiropractor and he discovered after x-ray that my hip was completely out of alignment...one leg shorter than the other!!🤪 It's made a big difference to discover this was the source of my pain and to have it treated so it didn't impact my mobility or desire to walk and energize my body was a good move! I think when we walk, we oxygenate our blood, which is good for our vascular and respiratory health and it also releases endorphins in the brain which gives us a sense of wellbeing. Wishing you both a happy and healthy 2024.🤗
Thanks for sharing that with us Catherine. That’s awesome that you were able to discover that and hopefully rectify the issue. For Jim I think it’s more than just the pain. He really just doesn’t like walking that much. Where I love it. Like you say we are all different. At least his fingers get a lot of exercise from playing his video games! 😂
I walk in my condo when winter is in session. But when Spring arrives I walk outside. I had a good job a year ago whereby I walked for six hours four times a week and lost 20 pounds.
I am more like Jim in that I like to listen to music while I walk. It helps me maintain a good pace. When I have walked with people they like to chat like you do and it is very distracting. You are right though about staying active. Science now says that sitting for long periods in a day is just as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes.
Lol i’m sure you must’ve loved it when we walked together in Quartzsite. Now I know why you moved to Thailand, so you could get a little peace during your walks lol! 😂
Steve this video has encouraged me to start a walking routine. I'm 63 this year, need to lose a bit of weight (starting a carnivore lifestyle to assist inflammation), and generally feel healthier .... thank you for the motivation
If I lived close to you Steve I would walk with you ! I’m a talker to 😂 I just can’t help my self ! I have been a steady walker for the last 10 years! We have to keep moving !!!!❤
On average, I walk 4 miles a day. When at work, I walk around the quad a couple times a day, which is about half a mile each time. This morning, I ran 2 miles. Has Jim thought of going to physical therapy? Or at least seeing if there's something he can do regarding muscles that may be out of balance? I recommend searching the Bob and Brad youtube channel.
Hi Corey, I watched their TH-cam channel too. Unfortunately Jim says that he’s just gotten lazy and just doesn’t wanna walk anymore even though he knows he should and that’s good for him. 🤪
I am in the desert too...and have to walk early in morning in summer due to heat. In winter it's the opposite....mornings are too chilly and would rather walk later in the day when the temp. is more comfortable. In fact I was thinking of getting a treadmill for summertime to walk inside the house. I can't take the summer heat. Want to keep walking because its so good for you. Also, with frozen dinners, I don't think you should thaw them out first to cut down cook time. I think you're supposed to microwave according to directions only, for safety reasons 😀
Hi J, thank you for sharing that with us. I’m sure you were probably right, but for some reason I just had to follow instructions lol! 🤪 unless it’s something that seems really important, like doctors instructions. 👍
I don't walk at al, only to get to where I have to go. I used to exercise, but lately i have not done much. I live in the 'inner city' in the North of the US, thus its not the same view that you guys have. If I lived in PSprings, I would walk all the time.
They say opposites attract. And you two are definitely it. Just like me and my husband. I love him to death, but I, like Jim, have to have my solitude. I would go nuts without it! You are right though Steve, us older people should walk. Should being the key word for myself! Lol! And Jim doesn't know what heartburn is?! Well God bless him and tell him to pass the pie on that one!
I like walking alone. I love to walk, but haven’t been able to now for several years. It makes me sad. I used to walk mornings and evenings. Not walking has greatly impacted my life.
I have chronic musculoskeletal conditions in my back and hips, used to walk longer when I was younger, my routine is usually afternoon or early evening go for my walks 4 km, I take my shih tzu in his stroller so he doesn’t walk the whole distance, he walks for a couple blocks. As long as my hips aren’t too sore I will try to do 4 km, some days its shorter walk.
I don’t go out walking , my job keeps me on the move , I walk a minimum of 10 miles a day , except on weekends I don’t go far . I love to ride my bicycle , I’ll go and go , then remember I need to head back home . I love to ride at night after midnight , just so peaceful, just have to be on the lookout for critters .
That’s a great job Daisy. You can kill two birds with one stone at your job. And you must live in a very safe neighborhood to be out riding at midnight! 😳
I got to get back to walking, I really need to lose some weight. My daughter and I usually walk together . At the end of the walk my knees hurt like crazy 😂
You two are so much fun!!! While the two of you are very much alike, you celebrate and except the. I wish there was more they could do with your acid reflux Steve. I know that it is an irritating problem and you tried to do what you can to control the systems, but, isn't there more the doctors can do to help you? I'm watching both of you a great day and a very Happy New Year!!😊
Thank you Connie. If I take a daily pill it gets rid of the heartburn. I’m just trying to do it naturally without taking the pill, but not much luck really! 🙁
The minimum goal per day for 2024 would be 2 miles, the preferred goal would be 4 miles. Also trying to incorporate small errands that can be done at the same time. Paul
I think saying Jim is lazy is very unfair but I do agree he should discuss his aches and pains with his doctor, I hope you both can walk together again pain free!
Its ok if jim has his own thing. If he doesn't want to walk. I think too much getting side by side can be torturous in a relationship too. Im thinking you go to Walmart together .maybe stop at a coffee shop and have a snack like a muffin and cup of coffee. Just break up your routine sometimes things change but people remain the same. Like he doesn't ask you to his games right? Just try not to overpower or smother each other . After all he said he does have injurues from basketball. I have have injuries too that hurt or prevent me from pounding the pavement 😅 😮 I have weak ankles from so many sprains be from over the years. Plus a weak shin bone and knee in juries due to a fall. Which prevents me from doing any kind of distance walking.im going through treatment for edema and psoriasis or eczema they're still working on different things. Not everything is good for everyone.😅 So find a happy medium and take it from there..its all good in the end. How about a flea market?😮
we used to walk every day but the medications for cholesterol that cause joint and muscle pain and working shift work slowed it down . For me anyway :)
Hi David, thanks for sharing that with us. I had to go to a much lower dose on my cholesterol medication for the same reason. And I even still have some joint pains because of it, but I’m lucky that I can still walk. Sorry that your side effects sound like they’re more extreme than mine. 🙁
Jim got plan skunk lazy. But I'm the same, we have a treadmill and use that more. We do walk at the theme parks a lot. Got to stay healthy at our advance ages. lol
Steve, I think you guys need to maybe have a change of pace and scenery. I like walking the Mall here in Texas. I start around 8:30 am and do 6 laps which equates to about 10,000 steps. Your out of the Sun , Rain, Fog, Cold, Heat and other elements. Everyday is different and at times I have a slower pace. Most of us are Senior Citizens and respect each other’s privacy and pace. It works for me. I enjoy walking with my ITunes.
Hi Jose, thanks for the suggestion. We have one mall here in the desert and I did walk around the mall once many years ago. I guess it’s time to do it again lol. 😄 it’s kind of on the other side of the desert, which I guess is why I don’t do it more often. It’s about a half hour drive from where I live. But I will definitely do it at some point. Thanks for sharing your walk with us. It sounds like fun. 😎👍
Would stretching before a walk help Jim? I need to walk more. I don't like to walk when it is too hot or snowing. I don't walk with my husband. His stride is so much greater than mine and he walks too fast. I do walk the dog, but she stops and sniffs and stares at things like a flag waving in the wind. I like to walk her before work but early in the morning in the spring all the rabbits in the neighborhood congregate on the sidewalk. They have no fear of her and just saunter off when we get close. (She has no street cred with bunnies lol)
3rd Happy New Year Steve & Jim! ...what games does Jim play...Im curious...I play STO-Startrek online.....I also have a VR gaming system...did he ever Try that? I think he'd Love it.................I wanna get into walking this year - I live in a complex thats big enough here in S.NJ where I could do a good 1/2 - hour walks..... :) xo
Quite a few people have asked about which games Jim plays so I will ask him and we can do a video about it in the near future. Thanks for the question Lisa! 👍

I agree, it’s a nice time to just meditate and think. 👍
Steve living in Gettysburg I walk the battlefield everyday I'm 69 Steve I take lots of breaks along the way lol ❤
That is awesome Alex. What a special place to walk! 👍

Hi Alan, be careful out there especially if you’re in a remote area with snow. That sounds way too cold for me this time of year, but have fun. 🥶👍
@stevesvlog thank you so much!! This will be on the high mountain desert of Colorado. So, it only gets snow showers, but doesn't really accumulate and stay. The down side is of the 6 days, none will be above freezing. And the lows will be between 1 and 12 degrees.

Sorry you have to deal with arthritis Deborah. Especially in the snow! 🙁
I do yoga and aerobics everyday. Sometimes I do a walk, sometimes not. I make sure I do something every day. Love the way you guys get along.😊
That sounds very healthy Renee! 👍
Glad to hear you guys have differences just like my hubby & I do. I walk my dogs everyday. It’s good for all of us.
🚶🏻♀️🐕🦺🐕🦺
😎👍
Good morning. Hope to find you doing well. Happy New Year. 😊
Thank you. Same to you!
In my unprofessional opinion, lol, it really does sound like Jim could benefit from an economical treadmill. He doesn’t need a fancy schmancy, multi-function, 100 button programmable treadmill. I’m wondering if anyone in the Coachella Valley has one that they would just want to get rid of for free to make space. You two can mount a small TV screen on the wall and watch TH-cam or a movie while walking indoors.

Me too. I’m in Ohio. There comes a time when I feel it’s too cold. I see people walking in all weather. I don’t envy them 😮
I love the relationship you two have.
I love to walk but there is no way I would have went on the walk Steve took.
Thanks Sue 😎👍

LOL, I like the way you think Thomas! :-)
My husband has trouble with his hip. Since he has kidney issues, the dr said not to get his hip replaced.
May I ask why, @countrydj2?
Sorry to hear that. 🙁
I like walking alone. I love to walk, but haven’t been able to now for several years. It makes me sad. I used to walk mornings and evenings. Not walking has greatly impacted my life.

That’s a great job Daisy. You can kill two birds with one stone at your job. And you must live in a very safe neighborhood to be out riding at midnight! 😳
Not a vampire I hope. Since he does not like Sunlight. :D Great video. Keep up the great work.
🧛♂️😲
Loved your video Steve!!! Would he consider Accupuncture for his hip???
Thanks for the suggestion. I doubt it though since he won’t even go to his regular doctor for it lol! 😲
I got to get back to walking, I really need to lose some weight. My daughter and I usually walk together . At the end of the walk my knees hurt like crazy 😂
Yikes, I hope the knee pain isn’t anything serious!
My favorite place to walk when I could was the cemetery 😅😂
Me too!
Happy new year steve and jim
You two are so much fun!!! While the two of you are very much alike, you celebrate and except the. I wish there was more they could do with your acid reflux Steve. I know that it is an irritating problem and you tried to do what you can to control the systems, but, isn't there more the doctors can do to help you? I'm watching both of you a great day and a very Happy New Year!!😊
Thank you Connie. If I take a daily pill it gets rid of the heartburn. I’m just trying to do it naturally without taking the pill, but not much luck really! 🙁
I wonder if Jim would benefit from just walking in the pool. It's less pressure and therefore less pain.
That’s an excellent idea Jose. I will mention it to him! 😊👍
I love to walk but my knees said no cause I had a total replacement and if I do walk It hurts a lot
So sorry to hear that. 😩
love your relationship.
Thank you!

We talked about it more the next day and he said he really is just feeling lazy and that's the real reason he doesn't want to walk anymore. :-)
Its ok if jim has his own thing. If he doesn't want to walk. I think too much getting side by side can be torturous in a relationship too. Im thinking you go to Walmart together .maybe stop at a coffee shop and have a snack like a muffin and cup of coffee. Just break up your routine sometimes things change but people remain the same. Like he doesn't ask you to his games right?
Just try not to overpower or smother each other . After all he said he does have injurues from basketball. I have have injuries too that hurt or prevent me from pounding the pavement 😅 😮
I have weak ankles from so many sprains be from over the years. Plus a weak shin bone and knee in juries due to a fall. Which prevents me from doing any kind of distance walking.im going through treatment for edema and psoriasis or eczema they're still working on different things.
Not everything is good for everyone.😅 So find a happy medium and take it from there..its all good in the end.
How about a flea market?😮
Nicely said kitty. Sorry to hear that you have issues like that to deal with too. 🙁
we used to walk every day but the medications for cholesterol that cause joint and muscle pain and working shift work slowed it down . For me anyway :)
Hi David, thanks for sharing that with us. I had to go to a much lower dose on my cholesterol medication for the same reason. And I even still have some joint pains because of it, but I’m lucky that I can still walk. Sorry that your side effects sound like they’re more extreme than mine. 🙁
I used to walk but with lung issues it's hard
I don’t like walking with husband because he walks too fast. I enjoy a more leisurely walk. It doesn’t hurt to have some alone time either.
I agree, the alone time is one of the best parts of walking. 😎👍
Jim got plan skunk lazy. But I'm the same, we have a treadmill and use that more. We do walk at the theme parks a lot. Got to stay healthy at our advance ages. lol
As they used to say Daniel I think you hit the nail on the head lol! 😄👍
😂 we are all different! Maybe he will again just cut it back? 🤷 Thanks Bob
I hope Jim considers getting his hip checked out. Hips could be out of alignment. Walking has helped my glucose levels quite a bit!
I hope so too Erica. Glad to hear that walking has helped you too. 👍
Steve, I think you guys need to maybe have a change of pace and scenery. I like walking the Mall here in Texas. I start around 8:30 am and do 6 laps which equates to about 10,000 steps. Your out of the Sun , Rain, Fog, Cold, Heat and other elements. Everyday is different and at times I have a slower pace. Most of us are Senior Citizens and respect each other’s privacy and pace. It works for me. I enjoy walking with my ITunes.
Hi Jose, thanks for the suggestion. We have one mall here in the desert and I did walk around the mall once many years ago. I guess it’s time to do it again lol. 😄 it’s kind of on the other side of the desert, which I guess is why I don’t do it more often. It’s about a half hour drive from where I live. But I will definitely do it at some point. Thanks for sharing your walk with us. It sounds like fun. 😎👍
Would stretching before a walk help Jim? I need to walk more. I don't like to walk when it is too hot or snowing. I don't walk with my husband. His stride is so much greater than mine and he walks too fast. I do walk the dog, but she stops and sniffs and stares at things like a flag waving in the wind. I like to walk her before work but early in the morning in the spring all the rabbits in the neighborhood congregate on the sidewalk. They have no fear of her and just saunter off when we get close. (She has no street cred with bunnies lol)
Lol that’s funny Ellen! 😆👍
Come on, Jim, excuse excuse, get to the doctor and have that hip looked at and start walking.
Yes i have to restart
I have chronic sciatica. It has caused me to have to use a cane. It just hurts too much to walk.
So sorry to hear that Debbie 😩
