Your daily actions are all that matters. Just an hour of exercise daily can transform your body. Even a little can go a long way. A simple 30-minute daily walk can jumpstart your fitness journey. Walking is definitely KING when it comes to low impact cardio. Just start today and your mood will dramatically improve and your body slowly start to lose fat. I started weeks ago walking 9 miles every day. My muscles are peaking slowly and I've never wanted to walk as much as I do today. Walking a minimum of 10,000 steps is still the key to getting results. Walking not only strengthens the body but also revitalizes the mind. As an avid runner, I can confirm that running is not great for fat loss. The biggest reason is that running burns primarily glycogen rather than your fat stores. You'll also get very tired very soon. It's just much easier to walk. While I still run (I've done three 32-mile ultras), walking is now a huge part of my training. I'm averaging 9 miles a day. That's over 20,000 steps. Honestly, walking is 100 percent one of the single best ways to lose body fat. It's helped me go from 240 pounds to 213 pounds in just 3 months. I have seen a lot of stomach fat go away, and for the first time in decades I can see my abs.
Walking is time consuming but it's so healthy. Your health is not an area for shortcuts or quick fixes. When I made my 13 trips to mainland China, I noticed that everyone took evening walks from the babies to the 70-year olds. Discipline is doing the things that you don't necessarily want to do so frequently that they turn from an obligation into a habit.
Most people transform themselves once every never. Don't be one of them. Go slow if you need to, but get started now. It takes years, not months, to get into great shape. Keep going!
