Great video! Your comments make a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing!
I love the walking and do quite a bit of it at work. I walk anywhere from 3 to 5 miles a day at work in the operating room. I am a nurse, plus lifting patients, beds, all types of equipment (some very heavy). I also walk on the treadmill at the gym 30 minutes before I do the weights. I am in process of of losing weight but more importantly getting healthy and toning up. The days after I do weights, I let my muscles rest and just walk on the treadmill, if not on call and don’t have to stay late at work. I have a right lower hamstring injury that is a dull pain, chronic tendonitis basically. Do you think a brace would hender the proper walking abilities?
Bless you sister Charmaine for the work you do for the patients – nurses are truly wonderful human beings .
Is it ok to use light (1lb) hand weights when walking? Does that give us benefits and arm toning while walking? thank you! Great video!
What should I track with walking? Steps, distance or time?
That is fantastic, Debra. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If we love exercise but don’t like “walking” per se, what about that?
Is zone 1 walking speed good for reducing cortisol and belly fat? Hypothyroidism limits my energy but also caused weight gain.
The tan or the muscles. Not sure which is better.
Thank you for this. I feel inspired and this is helpful in terms of the details you show here.
