Now in this video, we're talking about the massive benefits of walking 30 minutes a day.
A lot of people, when they think of exercise, I think it is all or nothing. It has to be
extremely intense or it's completely worthless. Recently at the gym, I saw this guy come in,
he jumped on the treadmill and he was sprinting and then he ran over the weights and he was
pumping weights real fast and then jumped onto the treadmill again, was sprinting. I
thought, what is this guy doing? He needs to slow down a little bit. But the thing is,
some people think that if it's not extremely intense than it has no benefit to you. So,
in this video we're talking about the massive benefits that just a walk every day can benefit
your body. Let's go ahead and dive right into this topic.
Now, first of all, let's talk about cardiovascular health. So there was a multiple study report
done where they looked at a lot of very good quality legitimate studies and they found
that a 21 minute a day walk was going to benefit your health greatly in the way of cardiovascular
health. It’s going to decrease cardiovascular events by 31%. So, if you think of all these
people having a heart attack and heart conditions. It’s also going to decrease early death
by 32%. This is very powerful when we look at all the people who are suffering from cardiovascular
issues today. Now there was a study done by the University of Boulder, Colorado and the
University of Tennessee that found that going for 30 minute walk a day is going to lower
your blood pressure by 11 points. Now, if we think of all the people out there who are
suffering from high blood pressure, this makes walking very, very beneficial because you
want to try and do everything naturally that you can in order to lower your blood pressure
before turning to alternative ways of doing so.
Next here is joint pain. So, a lot of people are suffering from joint pain. Their necks
hurt, their shoulders hurt, their low backs hurt, and a lot of people are living sedentary
lifestyles. They jumped in the car, they drive to work, they get the work, they sit down
all day and then they go home and they sit down some more. So, you get the point.
Now here's the thing is joints are meant to move, and when you move joints, it lubricates
the joints. And so, going for a walk is going to help keep these joints lubricated, it’s
going to reduce joint pain, and those who are suffering from arthritis, which is quite
a large number today, it's going to help decrease that arthritic pain.
Next here is it’s going to boost your immune system. There was a study done by the British
Journal of Sports Medicine. They took a thousand adults and what they found is that a 30 minute
walk a day was reducing sick days by 43% so all of these people who are getting the flu,
getting respiratory viruses, it was decreasing their chances of getting those different sicknesses
by 43% and then also lessen the symptoms for those who actually got sick. And they even
found in the study that those who got sick recovered much faster when they were going
on that walk every day. And it's all of course very important and good for your immune system
to get out and get that fresh air.
So next is going to help improve brain function. So, it's going to increase oxygen flow to
the brain is to boost your energy. Once again, a lot of people are living the sedentary lifestyles
and so they just find that they have no energy, but instead of getting up and moving, they
just get up and grab a sugary drink or a lot of caffeine. So, getting up, moving, going
for a walk will help energize the brain, energize the body, and it also is going to help decrease
anxiety and decrease depression, which so many people are suffering from. So instead
of sitting on the couch looking at social media, getting depressed, get up and go for
a walk with your family, your pet, and you're going to feel so much better for it.
Next here is weight loss. It's going to support weight loss. It's estimated that 170 calories
are burned per 30 minutes of walking. So that's incredible there. Most people are trying to
lose some weight, burn some fat off. It's going to help boost your metabolism and help
tone you up. Now going for a walk by no means is going to be a way to get shredded or build
muscle or that sort of thing, but what it will do is offer you a lot of health benefits.
And also, it's a great place to start if you're someone who's not exercising at all. And if
you're someone who's just not into the gym scene, it's a great thing to do instead of
doing nothing at all.
Next, when we look at what to do, it's estimated that most of this different research here
is based on 30 minutes of walking, five days a week. Now of course you're going to get
faster results with running. So, 20 minutes of running three days a week is also going
to be suitable here. And if you want to burn more calories, it's estimated that stairs
burn two to three times more calories. And also if you're looking for the best way to
lose weight and lose fat and cut that fat off your body, I'll go ahead and link a video
right up here that you can click on that's going to help you get the right information
that you need as far as diet and losing weight.
So, when we look at, when it comes to this whole walking thing, we can't underestimate
the small things. We can't underestimate what a 30 minute walk a day we'll do for you. It's
not about just going to the gym and being hardcore all the time. It's really about using
this walking as a way to free up your mind, get you in a positive mental state, boost
your brain function, your immune system, and also, it's going to benefit your overall health
in general.
