Walking general, who else walks here?2284 ays getting 10k steps a day.Whenever I mention i do this, people tell me only need 7000 steps a day. Every single time.
>>77186109>people tell me only need 7000 steps a dayThis could be applied for the general population as a starting point (or even less maybe), for many of us live sedentary lives, but after a reaching point it just wouldn't be enough. I hiked 11,8 km this morning and planning to walk another 10 km in the evening.Also came across with these videos yesterday, truly insightful:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdhRQoH9818https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfpIT5pY4H0
>>77186109I'm a walker, but I'm not as consistent as I'd like to be. That 10k streak is much more impressive than my daily 20k streaks for a month or two before I inevitably make a break again because I hurt myself or because I don't feel like walking three hours.
>>77186208https://youtu.be/q3HVUCP4crIDon't sleep on the cognitive benefits of walking. This is a guy called Shane O'Mara, he's a neuroscientist who does experimental brain research at the Trinity College. He's also an avid walker himself and wrote a book about the benefits of walking, it's called "In Praise of Walking."
>>77186109I don't do a step counter but I always walk 2-3 miles a day minimum. A lot of it at work and then hiking on the weekends. Feels good

Been on a 112 day streak of 22,000 plus steps. Feels good.
I love walking, I usually do at least 4 miles, usually 6 or 7 every day
I'd walk more but it's really boring always walking the same route. I've lived in a pretty big european city for all my life so it's just boring at this point. After an hour or so I don't want to walk anymore.
>>77186234unemployed?
>>77186208it's 10k steps a day because the Japanese symbol for 10k looks like a person walking>>77186271i walk around the gym between sets, walk around the store when i shop, and occasionally walk a horrible dog.>>77186317i used to get 20k steps a day easily when i was working (i am a full time student now)>>77186208>but after a reaching point it just wouldn't be enoughfor what? you don't have to keep improving everything forever, a reasonable level of activity done every day is still good even if it is no longer improving, but is just maintaining
>>77186109I got between 17-20k steps at work. Everytime Iam on holiday I gain 3kg

>>77186228I'll look into it, thanks man>>77186230Please change and grow as a person>>77186325>you don't have to keep improving everything foreverYou have a valid point, but it is irrelevant to mine. Sure, consistency is of more importance than performance in the long run, though one will increase the mileage/speed eventually if he wants to improve on walking as a training method. If not, it is totally fine to keep the pace.
I like Jax trying to be nicer
>>77186432wrong thread, sorry
>>77186445Which one is the correct one?

>>77186109I have a few days a week where I hit 20k but I move so little on rest days or when work isn't busy that it averages out to a bit over 8k a day lately. This week I averaged 11k though. In the coming months, when the weather is better, it should average out to over 10k again. I don't do a lot of cardio though and when I do I don't track steps, so that isn't included.
>>77186460Based.
March has been ok month. It’s going down since December where I had average 23,6k steps total 731k. I’m hoping to get average of 20k this month and build up again
whatever it takes
>>77186517513k is still a very solid Maand.
>>77186466going from 8k to 10k steps would take 20 minutes
>>7718610910k every day man. I find it easier to break it up a bit. Go 30mins earlier to work to escape traffic so I can do about 4k steps. Do another sesh at lunch, get the rest passively doing whatever.If you're looking to increase your steps then unironically buy a cheap fit bit/smart watch that tracks your steps, there is just something about constantly being aware of it that makes you want to meet the goal and you just naturally end up walking more overtime. For instance, maybe you need to go to get groceries: you check your watch to see what time it is, you see you're missing 2k steps and you know that if you just walk there instead you'll get it. Chores and random tasks become less burdensome because you know that by doing it you are also getting your steps up, etc.
i wish we all could take a walk together
>>77187599Next time I walk, I'll think about you, anon.
When I became a neet my average steps dropped to nearly double digits. I spent every summer in highschool alone in my room so I’m used to it
>>77186109I've began walking to and from my university because I'm trying to lose fat. Found a nice route where I walk through a park half the time and the sorroundings make it so much easier when you only got grass, trees and the road to seeHonestly I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. I'm 188 cm tall and weigh 110 kg, and I walk at least 10 km every day doing this. It's 1000 calories burned every single day and my fatloss seems easier than it ever did
