We adopted a dog because we walk so regularly. Our whole family walks together. Our oldest struggled with mental health and we discovered she would open up when we walked. We started "walk and talk" sessions. Walking clearly helps in a multitude of ways. We value it so much. Thanks for covering this. Love from us in Illinois, USA.

I’m combatting ankle stiffness, nothing feels better than walking. Slow and deliberate barefoot stepping on natural uneven terrain is an incredibly nurturing sensation.

Daily long walks with no real objective have been the most powerful and sustained method of improving my mental health that I've ever utilized. I got into it to help with the restlessness after losing a loved one, and it will be a part of my life for as long as I'm able. Thanks for putting so much effort into your videos about these movement patterns that are easy to take for granted.

I started walking to work and back for a year now. 15.000 steps a day. Best thing I ever did.

Man, I feel like the production quality of this channel increases with each new video, great job Adam and Grant, proud to be a part of your growth!

For me, personally, walking has helped me improve my mental health. When I go out for a walk, without my headphones on and with the attention of being mindful and present, I connect with nature, people and other things I see around me. i also end up connecting with myself as I find that time very useful for self reflection.

My grandmother walked a mile every day up to her death at 95. It’s definitely something I do every day. Good stuff.

I’ve started my fitness journey with walking and I haven’t found a better essential exercise yet. It’s great for weight loss and mental clarity, it’s super easy and it gives you a head start if you want to start running as you can progress with it by walking in hills or shift from running to walking during your workout. Now walking is the first thing I do in the morning (30 min.) and in the afternoon (1-2 hours). And it’s way more fun if you walk in nature.

Walking was the only reason why the lockdowns never got to me. In the beginning of the pandemic, it was the one thing that helped me clear my mind.

So glad to hear someone talk about this, too many people see walking as a way to get from point A to point B, people think i'm mad for choosing to walk even in the rain, but to me I find it meditative putting 1 foot mindlessly in front of the other and just natural. My mind wanders and thinks about things I wouldn't think about elsewhere, or even finds solutions to questions I didn't have answers to or couldn't remember. I walk 30 minutes to the gym and 30 minutes back, that's 1 hour of relaxation and fresh air with an active mind but to most people i'm just wasting time when I could be making the journey quicker.

Started for fitness but it's turned into pleasure. Seeking out new locations and parts of town. Meeting great folks and learning new places to visit. It's amazing what we discover when we slow down and are not passing things at 60+ miles an hour.

I ended up buying a high-end treadmill to continue walking here in Minnesota during the frozen months (half the year). I started walking 10K steps every day last summer and finally had the success in weight loss I've been chasing for years. My mind was also clearer and I noticed I had more mental acuity than ever before. The line of advice that helped me start walking and want to stick with it was something along the lines of "Your 1 hour of training will not outdo 8 hours of sitting." My job necessitates me sitting all day, but I make it a point to get at least 1 hour of walking in per day in addition to strength training. It's my time to unwind and destress from a bad day or meditate and be creative. 100% the #1 exercise I'd recommend to anybody regardless of their goals.

I haven't watched the video yet, but the title alone validates my love for this very unsexy exercise. I may tell people that calisthenics is my favorite form of training because it's different and interesting, but honestly, walking will always be my favorite exercise.

I used to walk everyday during my depression. Sometimes up to 4 hours. Realy helped me feel better and reconnect. Being in nature and hearing the nature as well, realy helped me. Still walk regularly!

The simplicity of a lot of the content from this channel is part of why it's so uniquely valuable. Just like was said in the video, walking is so fundamental for longevity and quality of life and yet it's certainly not something focused on by your average fitness influencer. I used to make fun of my parents for regularly going on walks, but I've come to appreciate it as a legitimate form of light exercise.

I walk my dog every day, it's great, even when it's raining. You feel so much better afterwards. It really is the most underrated movement

Walk an hour to work every morning, not because I have to but out of choice, LOVE WALKING!

Walking is the most underrated physical activity. Good for you physically and mentally.

I have a desk job and I make sure every lunch hour I spend the hour walking outside. It has been incredible to help digest lunch, help with focus in the afternoon and vital for my mental health. I recommend a brisk pace enough to carry a conversation - not out of breath.

Wow! It’s a huge relief to hear that the heal strike is healthy. I’ve been trying to not put my heal down first because of the people that warn against it and it feels so unnatural and awkward. I really wish there were more studies on this.

I love walking. Helps me think, and its fatigue-to-calories ratio is unparalleled, even by swimming. The ultimate slimming activity.

Amazing how your coach always tells you to "walk it off"

I've followed Adam & his advice for a couple of yrs now. A shoulder injury caused by weights saw me turn to walking. I believed it was benefiting me and now further proof. Thank you.

I have 2 large dogs, and I take them for 3 mile walks almost every day out on a hilly dirt road. It's so helpful for destressing, and enables me to just get away from work problems or people in general. Although, as I live in a tropical country, some days are extremely hot or rainy so it is more difficult. I love my walks.

Ever since Training step ups, „situps“ (impulse standing up from a chair), horse stance, crab walk and daily walks my knee pain has become so much better. Quadratus Lumborum and big toe stretches have also been big aspects

I walk to work most days (about 5 miles). After I had spinal surgery in 2020 my physiotherapist told me to walk 5 minutes out and 5 minutes back increasing by 5 minutes each day. She said she'd check back in 2 weeks. At our next appointment she told me that doing nearly 2.5 hours walking each day was far too much so soon after my surgery. I was like, but that's what you told me to do. I walk everywhere!

Gotta say this is one of your most inspiring videos yet; you inspired me to take a walk today.

These are great tips about walking and staying more active each day. It is annoying that KZfaq adds so many ads to videos. They used to do one at the beginning now the short 13 minute video had at least five ads.

Walking is an activity I can't skip out , I sometimes shut out the world to focus on studies yet can't do so because I miss out the benefits of spending time in the sun walking

The optic flow phenomena is probably why I've liked walking and running recently. Hope y'all get your daily/weekly walks in!

Agree wholeheartedly. Lost weight by accident due to my job as a piano teacher. Walking to and from classrooms every day along with walking on my commute leads to me clearing 10k steps every day. It's got me into the habit of walking all the time.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS I bought both ebooks "SuperFunctional Training" (1.0 and 2.0) and I can say, as a sedentary home office worker,.. my life changed. For so long I believed that working out 2-3 times a week is going to re-balance all the sitting. God I was wrong. First of all: Print out the PDFs and take it with you like a bible (no religious offense to anyone). Study it. Read chapters over and over again to really fully understand and internalize what it means to become (super)functional. For me, my whole mindset changed and now my days are constantly coupled with stretches, strength training and other exercises between meetings, lunch and evening chill out. During the day I am more awake, my body is always warm and my heart and lungs are not working on the bare minimum because I am no longer sitting for 8 hours straight. NO MORE. I CHANGE MY ENVIRONMENT AND THEREFORE I AM CHANGING! Walking past by the pull-up bar? I go for a pull-up. Waiting for colleagues joining the Teams call? I go for 20 squats. Brushing my teeth? I chill out in my deep squat. Playing with my cat? I play like a lizard crawling in my living room. On my way to press the snooze button? I go for some gentle stretches in my bed and start the day. I finally understand the concept of "If you are moving, you are improving" Before this text gets so long that nobody will ever read everything (btw, thanks if you made it till here) I just want to say thank you Adam aka The Bioneer. After trying many things, I finally found it - a training (well, almost life) philosophy.

Watching this just before my forest walk. Good stuff. I tend to recite poems and learn them during my nature walks. Very inspiring sessions.

Have started walking first thing every morning at 5am, as per Huberman’s suggestion, after suffering pulmonary embolism last year (jab induced). It’s changed my life!

i had a 6,4 km run planned today, but since its sunday and i have a massive hangover, i simply walked the distance. Nice weather, lots of weird plants, butterflies, sunshine, lots of time to just play with the mind - wonderful ! ...now i just have to deal with the "ego-lifting" - my app didnt register the walk as a workout, so now i gotta cancel it -.- Very nice filming and ty for your awesome content !!!

Many great philosiphers used walking as an impetus for ideas. Neitzsche often walked 4 hours alone every day, during the time when he created his greatest ideas. When the mind is allowed to wander it creates the most complex ideas imaginable without forcing it. The solution to insipiration is that you cannot force the mind to have it. You can only make the conditions for it to be possible and let your mind do the rest. All of mine and Neitzsches greatest ideas have come from the somber solitude of walking through the forest trails of home.

I walk 1 mile to and from work from the parking lot and Ive been doing it for a little over a year now. It really does get your mind off things from life and helps get the blood flowing! 🤙

The older I get (60 yrs) the more I have tried to simplify my workouts. I use Indian Clubs and steel clubs for functional training and the rowing machine coupled with walking for cardio. Your channel has been a excellent resource for me; thanks for the superb content. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

Walking for multiple hours every day helped me lose 20kg in 3 months. I was doing other forms of exercise throughout that period too, but NOTHING had the same effect on my weight and overall health that walking did. I found that it burned much more fat, rather than just draining my blood sugar and exhausting me.

Love your content, brother. Your passion seeps through every video.

I love this. It has to be one of my favorite bioneer videos! Love your work, Adam. I’ve been watching for a few years and you always bring such good quality and passion to your videos. Keep inspiring people to live healthier lives full of movement!

You are very good at explaining a topic in detail while also making it easy to understand. Great video as always!

Top tier channel. Been subscribed for years and have enjoyed many benefits of incorporating your lessons in my life. Your road to a million subscribers is well on its way! Cheers!

I really get excited to watch your videos Mr Bioneer, your content is well crafted and I appreciate the work you do. Your videos really take a different approach to the fitness subject and make it more interesting and fun. Keep up the good work.

Rockin' that leather jacket man Loved this video, been trying to incorporate walking into my daily routine lately, and this just enforces that habit even more!

Beautifully put together - inspirational to move towards a similar videography & education style this year. Thanks for the example!

The production value increase on this video is amazing man! Can really see the growth of your channel!!!!

Thanks for the video as always! I spend a lot of time walking barefoot on hard floors and have found it more comfortable landing with more of the mid foot than the heel.

Love Walking/hiking preferably in nature with hills, so good for regulating stress and staying mentally healthy too. Great video discussing the benefits of walking🤠

I've been going for walks for as long as I can remember, but I only made it a part of my daily routine since the Spring of 2013. It was just some random thing I did on a whim, but ever since then I went walking for at least 30 minutes every day. One day they let us go home very early but instead of taking the public transport I chose to walk all the way from campus to my home. It was both an exhausting but also exhilarating experience, as it took me 5 hours to get home, which to this day is my record. I also started hiking to experience natures beauty, and went walking at night because of how calming it is.

the production quality on each video just keeps getting better this is like a mini fitness documentary!

I grew up in the country side, kind of like this. You're book is really good too. Thanks Adam!

I love your videos man... The intro of this video literally felt like the beginning of a high budget documentary!

Thanks again Adam, I was waiting for a walking video!

Just started to take long daily walks as a routine again. Thanks for the timely video.

Been walking my dogs a lot more over the last 12 months and now it is a fundamental part of my life. Even a rest day from the gym still means at least 5 miles minimum. Great video as always

Awesome video dude. Great information. Also solid camera work, this video looked amazing.

A good walk and a good run are two things that will always make me happy

Thanks Bioneer King 👑

One of my favorite videos of yours, good work!

I incorporate some backward walking when it is safe to do so, as well as when I run or do weighted carries. However, plain meditative walking outside is the best thing for countering existential angst. (I always take a little notebook, too, though I usually forget about it.) One of your best videos to date. The production is excellent but I most appreciate the intelligent, articulate host.

I need to start walking daily again. Thank you for the reminder.

The more of your content I watch and listen to, the more obvious it is to me, that we have simply stopped doing what we have as a species, done for hundreds of thousands of years.. but just stopped in the past 50-100. Thank you for your service!

I love grounding, I love going for post-meal walks everyday, and even just going for a longer walk for the meditation effect. Great video

I had a pretty bad home life growing up so I used to go walk for hours just to get out of the house, always felt better when I got done too. Thanks for this.

Your super functional 2 training program has greatly improved my life and mental well being in less than 6 weeks. Body perception in space is a lot more confident. Really like that you reference Huberman keep up the good work Bioneer

One of the best channels for everything related to exercise, excellent information with top quality presentation.

Another great video, thank you both! I have always been a walker and not a runner, love going for a good "route march" just to get some distance in. So easy to get into a flow state when out for a good long walk. Thanks to your other vids I am now walking in barefoot shoes (preferred brand is Freet) and finding I have even more power in my strides now! Most comfy shoes I have ever worn, as well! Next stage is using barefoot trainers in the gym and my studio classes, then I will progress - again following your vid - to trail running in barefoot shoes, though I suspect it will be more short bursts of trail jogging between longer periods of walking, at first:) Keep up the wonderful work!

Pretty sure the start of changing my life from being a bong addict started with walking, sweet spot for me is walking an hour at a time 3 times a day

Between the awesome environs in this video and the North Face parka ad after, I really miss walking and running in the mountains. Thanks for covering an overlooked subject with interesting information that I never knew I needed to know. This channel is always great for that. Thanks!

As always, very inspired by your work. I've literally been telling myself to just get out and walk on my off days.

Great video Adam, keep it up 👍

I have definitely developed a stronger sense of direction in my intiution by walking 40k-50k steps per day for months on end last year

I walk 10000 steps early morning 5.15am and end up hearing mass at 7am Been doing this for ten years When i miss for a a couple of days cause of flu I compensate following days But this is rare Winter Summer hot or cold Christmas and New Year I dont care Walking sets your mind at rest God willing i be 80 this year I follow a strict diet of no sugar anf very low carbs My BMI is 22 and 6 feet tall God bless you all

Walking is the best! I grew up in a walking family. Still love it. I also ruck march a bit, but still hard to beat a good walk.

Brooo ...I need 1+ hours of Bioneer documentary projects series... contents is increasingly becomes better

I like to walk on Nature trails because I have a mental illness and autism. Walking for exercise helps keep me emotionally regulated.

Walking is Great... Thanks for all your videos. We are animals, and the more natural movements we do the better. I walk fast and intense everyday, post work - as a means of decompression, brain focusing whilst listening to audio books or podcasts or nothing. So much better than my old ways of doing nothing as a form of relaxing. Mr Bioneer - Keep up the great and informative videos. Cheers...

Dude your production quality has absolutely skyrocketed. That drone is cool.

When he turned 60, grandpa started walking 5 miles a day. That was 6 years ago and we don't know where the hell he is !

Been walking for like 10-15km a day for the past few months. It has been so helpful with regards to my mental and emotional health.

I walk to work each day, its a great way to get the body moving and clear the mind. I also weight train regularly and started the keto eating lifestyle. Watch Mr Bioneer regularly from NZ🇳🇿 have learnt so much from this channel.

I think walking most days a good distance (preferably outdoors) is right after sleep and nutrition for anti-aging. My grandad had two heart attacks very young in his life (40s and had to have stint) but lived to 91 years old. He never touched a weight, never ran after getting out of the airforce, but *he walked (probably less than the vaunted 10,000 steps but he did what he could) and read everyday.

Well, I generally know that walking is good for my body. But your level of explanation lifted my awareness of how important walking is, to another level. Thank you very much.

Never thought of it that way, i sort of started running before walking as you mentioned. I walk a lot but not for fitness but for clarity and to declutter my mind.

Great video and information! About 11 years ago, I was struck by a car while riding a bicycle and could not walk for weeks. Altho I had always been a walker and used a bike, I was grateful when I could walk again after the accident and continue to enjoy walking and biking. As a creative person who writes and produces events, walking is ideal for stimulating ideas and solutions--it's true!

I'm a pro in walking away from my responsibilities. I'm extremely healthy healthy💪💪

This is eery. I just took up walking as a supplement to my strength training a few days ago. Thinking about varying between walking and running on my rest days.

Nice footage lads!

I love you brother. thanks for sharing and inspiring me (and us!).

Your explanations make sense and become motivational for me!

Hi Adam first video Iv watch of yours in years good work 👍

Superb knowledge and delivery, superb quality video. Thank you.

excellent production quality and top notch scientific logical facts about the topic.

Great video!! The scenery, and camera work are gorgeous 👍

Completely agree. I try to walk 3-4 kms every day, and 3-4 extra during cuts. it works wonders, for mind and body. BTW, great editing.

Great video Bioneer! Walking is a low steady state cardio activity!

I literally searched "bioneer walking" a day before this was uploaded, this man does not miss

The opening credits are a nice touch! ☺❤
