What Will Happen to Your Body If You Walk Every Day
Walking is a totally free, easy exercise that requires little effort, and benefits not only your physical but also your mental well-being. If you’re looking for a simple yet very effective way of losing weight and improving your overall health, walking is something just for you.
People who are physically active throughout their life are much less prone to this disease than those who have a more sedentary lifestyle. And that’s because they have more volume in their hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for verbal memory and learning.
A daily half-hour walk helps avoid serious problems, like coronary heart disease to name one, by lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improving blood circulation. Because of better-quality and deeper breathing, some symptoms associated with lung disease can show significant improvement thanks to walking.
Muscle tone and weight loss is also totally achievable through simple walking. Find your optimal pace, but don’t break out into a jog. This sort of speed walking is low impact and doesn’t require any recovery time, which means no sore muscles to keep you from getting out and walking the next day.
The Arthritis Foundation recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate walking a day to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints. Building strong bones will help you prevent osteoporosis and reduce bone loss. Walking contributes to better blood circulation within the spinal structures, pumping important nutrients into the soft tissues and improving posture and flexibility, both of which are vital for a healthy spine.
A group of researchers at Iowa State University worked with hundreds of college students. Walking changed their mood for the better, even though no one warned them it could do so.
If you still don’t feel motivated enough to start walking for your health, try joining a class or find a buddy who also wouldn’t mind getting all the benefits of walking. Another idea could be to hire a personal trainer.

SUMMARY
-Walking prevents the early onset of dementia, reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and improves your overall mental well-being by reducing stress and releasing endorphins.
-Get on the road to improve vision and protect your eyes now from potential problems, such as glaucoma, in the future.
-Walking is no less effective than running when it comes to the prevention of heart disease and stroke.
-Walking is an aerobic exercise, which means that it increases oxygen flow in the bloodstream and helps eliminate toxins and waste, which is great for your lungs.
-Walking for exercise is a surprisingly more effective way to prevent diabetes than running is.
-Just half an hour of walking every day not only lowers the risk of developing colon cancer but also improves digestion and regulates bowel movements.
-Just 10,000 steps a day can be just as effective as a full-blown workout at the gym, especially if you add some intervals or uphill walking.
-Walking can provide more joint mobility, prevent the loss of bone density, and even reduce the risk of fractures.
-Walking is a real life-saver for those who experience back pain during more challenging high-impact exercises.
-Walking improves depression symptoms in patients with MDD, just imagine how easily it could help us cope with just feeling down or exhausted.
-Keep in mind the FIT formula. It stands for Frequency (how often), Intensity (how fast), and Time (for how long).

I love walking, guys! I walk 5 to 8 km (3 to 5 miles) a day. What about you? Btw, this habit is also extremely good for you: kzhead.info/sun/h9GIgrGDi3qrgqs/bejne.html&
BRIGHT SIDE 3.5 miles per day over here. Being out in nature and doing something good for your body refreshed your mind, body and soul. I love it! #walkwithconviction
i don't like walking, but i love running. walking is boring for me
Take up street or landscape photography.You will walk for miles and not even know you have.I have shed probably 2 thirds of my weight without changing my diet or deliberately exercising
BRIGHT SIDE l walk 5 km for three times a week
I'm doing 2 miles 5 days a week. I'll walk more now that the weather is better.
I am 84 and had a heart attack 25 years ago. I walk 90 miles a month and it drives away depression. I am in better health than I have ever been. I have 60 BPM pulse, 119 chloresterol. My doctor calls me his hero. You just cannot be unhappy watching the sunrise and listening to Aretha Franklin R_E_S_P_E_C_T. I love life and surround myself with fun people.
Well done, you have inspired me, you are a hero, congrats.

I am 24 years old and currently over 18 stone. Last year my mental health hit rock bottom.. Last week I decided to ditch the antidepressants and get out walking on my own for 40-50 mins a day. Already I am feeling so much better and cried for the first time in years just at how much happier I am feeling (And possibly the side effects of not being on meds). I hope somebody reads this and makes the same decision I did- You can do it. Joe.
Nice!
What's 18 stone?

Thank you sir
Thanks !! You saved my time
It's been almost a year since I started walking 7k steps a day and can't reiterate much how much it has helped me to keep myself fit. Now without a walk, my body feels lethargic. I am going to continue this for years to come. Cheers!
Did you loose weight
I just started doing this about a week ago and I can already feel the benefits, this along with a low carb diet should get me where I want to be

When I retired at 60 years old I started walking at 3 miles a day. I am 90 years old and try to walk at least 1 mile a day. It’s not as much as previous but it’s better than nothing.
Wow!!! How are you now?
Yes! Don't stop!!!
Keep it up

I was at 380lbs and over 57 BMI. I have severe osteoarthritis and literally no cartilage left in either knee. Im gone on a diet and am walking for 5 minutes at a time but I am walking 10 times a day for 5 minutes and am already feeling loads better. in less than 2 weeks I've lost 16 lbs and I feel like this could be finally be it for me. A better life here I come!
Congratulations!!! I have been sedentary so long that walking up and down steps is a chore. I was trying to walk up and down five steps (seven times) even that makes me short of breath. I'm going to walk in place and then march in place and I'm believing there will be a vast improvement. I weigh almost 300lbs around 280-290lbs. I want to lose 1-2 lbs a week. I'll see how it goes.
Congratulations!!!
I've lost 30 lbs in just few weeks. Walking was part of it but largely my reduced diet. I ate 1/3 of what I used to eat.
Congratulation keep going !!! you will see the goal every day closer. Hope you enjoy life better each day. Warm hug from Switzerland
That’s awesome, Jose! Keep on going!
Been walking 3-5 fives times per week for over 30 minutes each time for the last 5 years. I was 20 and now 25. I am a TOTALLY different person now, physically and mentally. Hard work always pays off.
These comments are inspiring. I started walking last week and I feel better. These comments encourage me to continue
I started walking 30 minutes a day since April and I lost 20 lbs in 4 months. I feel great!
But that ALSO had to do with what you ate and not just walking right?
I ate 3 healthy meals a day and drank lots of water.

Yess! I am 210 pounds I just started walking15,000 steps a day a week ago and I’ve lost 10 pounds. By eating healthy and small portions and drinking lots of water im excited
I've been walking about 15km a day for over a year now, it's honestly the best thing I've ever done. I always come back in a great mood from a walk even if I left feeling stressed and down. I can eat basically whatever I like and have a stable weight. I would highly recommend for anyone to fit as much walking into your day as you can, it's a game-changer 🙌
15 km? That is impressive I couldn't even imagine doing that every day
Wow, that’s over 9 miles a day! That’s amazing! I try to do at least 30 to 35 miles a week. Keep up the great work.
How long does it take you? It used to take me 50 minutes to walk 5km to school. I walked pretty slow but, I imagine if your doing it for fun you'd probably walk a bit faster
Well done!
Impossible
I've been walking for a year now, two miles a day most days (once in a while I take a day off). Much to my surprise, my medical results have been better. My othamologist tells me that the pressure on my optic nerve has receded so I won't need drops to avoid glaucoma, and my regular doctor informed me that my lung capacity has improved dramatically. I am now a believer!
Thank you for your story. It is very inspiring.
Starting tomorrow and want to walk every day of 2024. Start weight: 200 lbs Goal weight: 160 lbs Let's make 2024 our best year! ❤️ 😍 ❤️ 😍 ❤️ 😍

I go wallking every night for 40 minutes. My girlfriend of 4 years broke up with me yesterday and my heart is broken but I still pushed through my 40 minute walk tonight. I cried most of the way at first but I felt better after the walk. I hope walking helps the pain of my broken heart go away. Update: So it's been nearly a year since this post and I found out a few months ago I wasn't just broken up with. I was being cheated on for about 4 months. I thought she was it and was gonna marry this woman but I dodged a bullet, I guess. She would have cheated on me eventually. I am still walking every day and I am seeing a therapist because she really did a number on my self esteem. Thank you all for all your supportive comments and encouragement. I am 60 pounds down and I don't think I would have had the strength to carry on with this weight loss if she hadn't shattered my heart because I only started walking to help me cope with the sadness of the breakup. I suppose everything happens for a reason.
Jessie Palermo i also started daily walking after my husband passed away. It does help me sleep at night and my depression. Also i lost weight from 90kg to 75 kg in 3months of daily walking.
No problem use ur high testosterone and new one and get marry nice one 🐣🐤🐥
I have a disabled parent. I live next-door to her. If I don’t get my walk in, I start to feel crazy. LOL. I love to look at flowers. There I go with my great funk and great thoughts. Nothing like a good walk to clear your mind, and to remind you that the seasons will change no matter what.
I’m so sorry! I know those feels
Hang in there ...
I did exactly what the video suggested during my lunch hour for the past 2.5 years and believe me it's been the best thing for my health. I was able to maintain my weight and still had the energy to do my work.
Thank you "Bright Side"...I keep walking for over a year from 3000 steps to 30,000+ steps per day..and I got to tell yah..my body feels lighter bcuz I lose weight 264 pound to 160pound today...

My mother in law did lots of walking every day but sadly age 80 she passed away with vascular dementia and an embolism. I have started walking 30 minutes a day on my treadmill, not very fast (3.3) but it’s a start. I’ve been type1 diabetic for 50 years (I’m 60)! ❤
I have been walking ever since I started walking myself home from school. Even when people used to make fun of me including family members…I’m healthy and happy! I’ve had those same people watch their health deteriorate and then tell me later on that they should’ve been walking with me. ❤❤❤to walking!
Im addicted to walking. I walk 1 hour everynight and i notice that i feel happier after. Everytime. Love thos routine. Especially after dinner.

I recently found this beautiful park with walking trails. They are even marked 1/2 mile or one mile. Do as many Laps as I want in a safe environment. Where I live the people drive up on sidewalks or drive into things constantly I’m in a senior development and it’s dangerous to walk.
I am trying to start walking more - sometimes I walk on the weekends but it’s just rlly time consuming (apart from that I don’t have a problem I with it)
I walk daily 6000 steps to 10000. This is my favorite exercise because it's so simple,no extreme effort and most of all, for me, it's addicting because I don't feel any pain afterwards.
Thanks for your posts, everyone. I walk every day and it has helped my physical and mental health tremendously. Reading your posts inspires me tremendously!
I have diagnosed PTSD from being in a war while in the military. For 10 years I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. About two years ago I weighed 445 pounds. One day, something clicked in me and I realized I had enough. I went outside and went for a walk. I didn't do 30 minutes because I physically couldn't. But each day I went out and gradually increased how much I walked. Now, two years later, I have lost over 200 pounds and I am walking 2 hours every morning. I've changed my diet and I have a social life with friends and family. Walking not only changed my life, but it saved my life in ways no medication ever could. My advice to anyone who wants it: Start small and don't give up. Just walk around the block. Build yourself up to that first mile. And, before you know it, you will be doing 7, 8....15 miles every day. Just don't give up.
I salute you. You're a real inspiration. Thanx for sharing.
Thank you for your service! I just wish it was worth it. Good luck to you with your journey. Stay healthy!
best therapy ever...
Thank for your service, very inspiring story, im only 12. Its nice to know people in this world can always change for the better. Good luck to u and your journey.

Right after walk I feel so tired and again sleep fr hours 😰😰
I was in an abusive marriage for 25 years, I am 55 years old. The last years in the marriage were horrible. I filed for divorce a year and a half ago. I haven't been able to finalize the divorce, he is a horrible man. While I was married I was suffering from a lot of stomach issues, headaches insomnia and my bones were hurting. I began walking my dogs for 15 minutes everyday a year and half ago. I am up to walking 60 minutes everyday. I have lost 25 pounds and people tell me I look ten years younger. Mentally I am stronger now, no more depression. Walking has literally saved my life and my sanity. You just have to make walking a habit a part of what you do everyday. I am a school teacher and as tired as I get from work, I get home and head out to walk my dogs. I have completed my first walkathon. It's never too late to start taking care of yourself. I ma very glad I started walking.
Maria Royval very encouraging, keep walking!
That is so awesome and encouraging! Thank you and keep on keepin on!!🌻
Maria Royval So glad things are looking up for you❤️Keep on keeping on!
I hope you're doing well and that you're happy!

I am 33 years old. I started walking on April and I've been doing it almost everyday. The benefits I've seen are: my memory has improved, I can go up the stairs much more ease, my mood has improved, I have much less back pain, my gastritis is much better, I feel more toned, and also have lost about 2 - 3 pant sizes. I am not checking at the scale... I just noticed the difference when I wear my pants or jeans. I walk at work during my 15 min breaks. I've noticed others doing it too. It's just a gift that keeps on giving.
Thank you for your help ,I am in my 80s now ,you have given me the motivation to get serious ,my Doctor has been pleading with me . Now I know why . I have lost 22 Kg but he is still pushing the barrow for me to walk walk walk Best wishes Rob in Western Australia
I've been a Postman for 4 months now, walking 15 miles or more a day. Unbelievable weight loss and positive impacts on mental health as well as physical health, no gym no running, just walking. Obviously it's quite a lot more than general as its work, but still.
It’s always wonderful when you get paid to exercise, super added bonus. I was a chef for 35 years it was a full body workout in the heat! 63 now walk every day a minimum of 2 miles in the morning, but by the end of the day are usually have five Miles in. Not looking for weight loss I’ve been the same size pretty much. I always love the energy it gives me.
Used to be a postman for 5 years, left 15 years ago and still walk everyday what ever the weather
I’m a postie too
@@tiborzkarate1 Postman and woman in the UK walk a lot when they deliver mail as we don't have post (mail) boxes at the end of our drive sso they have to walk up and down drives, streets, apartment blocks. And they seem to wear shorts whatever the weather come rain or shine, sun or snow.
@@tiborzkarate1 they eat like sharks thats why
The pandemic has turned me into a walking fanatic. Now my day doesn’t feel complete unless I get my 10,000 steps. 🙃
Goal
Yea I have been walking 1.5 hours a day
I walk 20,000 steps everyday . 15kms a day
I walk around 15,000 a day as well gotta get your steps in !
@@Saifullah.Q can't post pictures here. I post everyday in my fb story
I began exercising today ✌💞👍💥💯💞 One of my sons paid a personal trainer. I just didn't know how to start. Will work out twice a day. And the other days of the week, I will walk for 45 minutes. My children are so happy I'm doing this. And so am I 😊 I hope for the best!!
I' ve been walking for more than a year now and I 'm slowly but constantly losing weight! It 's a great feeling, believe me! And my back doesn 't hurt any more, that 's the best part of it!
I was a chain smoker and a regular drinker, trust me exercise changed my life, I totally feel like different person. Alhamdulillah ❤
I'm a USPS driver, I hit over 30,000 steps during my work day. I love my job and serving all the wonderful people of my community! ❤️ 😊 😍
That is so awesome, Ms. Gregoria!

@Fruit King , Prefer Carrie Heffernan myself 😉
Your driving not walking 😂
Hi I am Aftab Ali from Lahore Pakistan It's almost 5 years ago i was started walk and jogging 2 km 4 days in a week and I was constantly enhance this and now with the grace of almighty Allah my walk is 3 days in week with speed of 10 minutes per km, and my jogging is 4 days in a week, with speed of 6 minutes per km. my hight is 5'-11" 65 kg weight. Before starting Walk/ jogging I was 86kg and My age is 50 but I sleep every night like 15 years boy 😃
Walking has changed my life! Easy in your joints and the fresh air and just great things that happen to your mind, body and spirit!
I used to work from home. One time I realised that I did not leave the house for 3 days. I then decided to get a dog so I can be forced to get out of the house on a daily basis. I now walk a minimum of 3 miles every day with the second dog. This was one of the best life decisions I’ve made.
Lucky dog! Mine only gets about a mile a day with me
to anyone, pls don't get a dog if you do not really love animals... taking care of animals is a commitment.
@@georgechrome4735 I apologize for the confusion. We wanted a dog for about a decade. We were both professionals with limited time spent at home and we did not think it would be fair to leave the dog alone all day long so we kept on postponing our decision. When I started telecommuting we could finally have a dog at home with me 24x7.. We loved our first dog and adore the second dog; both rescued dogs that saved us. We treat our dogs as our kids. I simply wanted to provide one of the many benefits dogs offer.
@@beas3993 Thanks for clarifying Bea! 💜
Happy for you!
Walking helped me when my brother passed away i just kept going my mind seems alot better now 😪❤
I am so sorry about your brother...I am glad you are doing much better.
I lost my mom 42 days ago ,I also walk to distract myself
I will start walking again. I have lost my chihuahua 4 months ago.😭
@@jannietan4971 I am so sorry
@@SRBOMBONICA86 I am so sorry
I love walking as I walked every lunch break during the 30 years I worked. Even now on retirement since 2011 I’ve continue to walk 10k steps daily. Shall turn 78 in August, it’s the best gift one can give to one self.
i totally agree with this research as a regular walker myself. if you are careful with your diet as well as walking daily, you will see the change in your body and health.
About a year ago, I started walking with a Fitbit, goal of 12k steps per day. By doing this and eating better most of the time, I lost about 30 lbs in around 6 months time. I now can't stand going a day without a 30 minute walk. It's part of my daily routine and very relaxing part of my evenings.
🙋♂️Same here.
Inspiring, losing 30 lbs not easy
That’s insane
Same here , I lost 22 lbs and now I can’t stop walking even thought it’s very hot where I live in summers
How much time for 12k steps per day
WARNING DO NOT WALK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD as shown at the beginning of video. That has been shown to be likely to shorten your life.
no way! sherlockk
Sarah Strong HaHa. I thought the same thing!! “A nice walk is going to get her just healthy enough to survive the ambulance drive but she is still going to be DOA when she reaches the hospital. So she gets an extra 15 min of really painful life? Stay out of the middle of the road!”
Sarah Strong 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
hahaha
Sarah Strong lol
I started walking regularly 2 years ago. I walk 3 to 6 miles (occasionally more) but make sure i do hills which make me puff. The exhilliration on top of a hill is quite amazing. Also the incredible SILENCE away from humanity is peace inducing. I just stop and take in the moment.
Shattered my foot falling from about 12-15ft high. Did a bunch of physical therapy, but I seriously think walking has been my best workout. 1 year post orif surgery and I average 4-5 miles a day 7 days a week!
I'm 65 years old I've been walking for 25 years almost every day.. I was a distance runner in my youth. I have a 6-pack and am in better shape than anyone my age that I've ever met. Works for me!
keep it up jacked grandpa
😂
Fantastic motivation
I just started walking. I have a 12 pack.
I am 89 years old and walk for 60.mins everyday here in Thailand which is where I've lived for 30 years.
Nice , assuming you moved from Wales ? :)
That’s awesome! 🙌
Wow that’s fantastic. I’m happy for you.
So Awesome!👏🏽👏🏽
Keep it up sir! 💪🏻
I walk 5-6 miles a day. I have been a happy person but the early morning walk in the cool air most definitely sets a positive tone for the day. It has resulted in moderate weight loss, joint aches all gone, better posture, clear mind, more agility, and better overall health. I walk 3 miles early in the morning and look for opportunities to walk more by parking my car further away from the entrance to a building. One should try and hit the 10,000 steps a day if one is able to. No cost, all gain.
Just saw your idea and will try my best to begin walking as soon as possible, thanks for all your tips!
I took a break from the gym for a month and walked 10k steps everyday and my body changed so much in that time
How did it change
@@LydiaSantiago he got fatter Jk
how many hours of walk per day makes up 10,000 steps?
@@noorulainmalik908 I do a hike every 2 days (15,000 steps) and it takes me about 1 hour 30 :£
@@noorulainmalik908 about 35mins
I’ve been walking 5 miles everyday for almost three years. Eat clean, move often and be happy! 🙏🏼😃
dsaint2one 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I am currently walking about 5 miles day back and forth to my internship. Really helps me maintain my weight
I love walking I’ve been doing it 3 months straight I went from 221 to 184 lbs so far. My goal is 165
A month ago I started walking 3 miles a day, and now I’m 90 miles away from my house.
😀😀
you win the internet today sir
😂🤣😅
u werent supposed to do that
run forest run
During the current pandemic, I've taken up walking. It has simply saved my life. It is one of the reasons I'm still here x In the beginning, I was just laying in bed at times and pretty much without any motivation and just wanting to wither away. Now I'm feeling stronger , more confident and believing in myself ❤
Me to started walking in beg of april..4..to 5 miles a day.. I've lost 20..25lbs or so feel great..!!
@imhereforit huntie fantastic 👏 ❤
@@michaelbayers5695 So happy for you ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡
Awesome !!!
Same here lost 17 pounds in 1.5 months❤️ Alhamdulillah ❤️
I love walking my neighborhood, it’s so calming and it also really helps you understand your location.
I tried it and I'm walking three times a week 30 minutes and I'm starting to feel much better thank you so much
I have been walking 5 miles per day for 6 weeks and I’ve lost 17 pounds.
Fantastic many I ask how many cal you have each DAY?
Do u walk in 5 miles in one go or in steps...how much time u need to walk for 5 miles
uzerish x I use pacer too ! I’ve compared it to another app and pacer is far more accurate. !!
Aron I dont diet. Ive been eating around 2000 calls per day.
@@MiamiPush2theLimit OK many thanks for the reply
I started walking at 377 lbs a year ago, doing a mile a day for a few months. I then increased my walks to 2-3 miles a day, throwing in one 6 mile walk and a couple 5 mile walks. I just recently started walking 3 miles a day and will keep it consistent for another couple months. I am now 306 lbs and my goal weight is 205-210 lbs. I do plan on going to the gym, but for now, walking has benefited me greatly. Update: I am now 248 lbs! The journey isn't over yet and I won't stop until I reach my goal.
Walking and exersize great but Diet is most important You need to find what works best for you. Just adding exersize will only take off so much and turn the rest to musle or not even effect it. walking is a wonderful thing so is the right foods.
@@suekatarynych8821 I agree and I am dieting. But this video is about how walking can benefit. Which is why I only mentioned walking.
That is amazing.🤩❤ I am going to start
U would have saved months running instead
@@lionelsanches8699 Running isn't an option for me due to other health issues.
Currently walking every day 15000 steps. Loving it! look forward to it every day.
Walking is great. I walk 30 minutes in the morning before work on all working days + I walk 30 minutes extra everyday during lunchbreak with colleagues. Wouldn't want to miss it.
I'm a big guy. I was 260 pounds when I started trying to get healthy. I had a doctor tell me not to run (unless I LOVED it) because I'm a big guy....so I'm walking now. I have been walking for about two months and I'm averaging around 9k steps a day. I enjoy my walks and I'm down to 237 pounds.
Don't stop. one-day u will feel without walking no happiness
Congratulations!
Congrats, Brad. Keep it up!
I'm 80 years old. I play golf 3 days a week. I walk and push a golf cart when I play. According to the app that I use, I walk about 5-6 miles while playing golf. On the days that I don't play golf, I go to the local park and walk 5 miles. I used to be able to do it in less than 90 minutes, but lately I'm up to about 95 minutes. Must be getting old! Anyway, I feel better at 80 than I did when I first retired at 57. So glad that I am still physically able to walk. Strongly recommend it.
I recently had my gf breakup with me and I started walking to cope with the saddess I felt and still feel. It has helped improve my mood and attitude during the day. It really does work with your mental health.
