Приєднався 5 січ 2011
Walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week is the first step toward better health. This simple, take-charge message comes from Every Body Walk!, a public awareness project aimed at starting a national conversation about the health benefits of walking.
Presently, more than 70 percent of all adult Americans lead sedentary lifestyles. This is significantly impacting the overall health of our country, which spends more then $2.5 trillion annually on medical care. An estimated 80 percent of that figure is spent on treating chronic conditions that can be prevented or treated by regular walking.
The aim of the Every Body Walk! campaign is to inform Americans about the tremendous health benefits of walking. Walking is an excellent form of exercise for everyone and for those with conditions like diabetes, asthma, heart disease and depression, a regular walking regimen has the added benefit of helping to manage these diseases.

Coronado: Where the Beach Sparkles
Look out from the shores of downtown San Diego and the ocean won't be the only thing in view. San Diego Bay is sheltered to the north by Point Loma and from the south by an island and land-connecting spit covered by a naval air station and the small city of Coronado. The walkable and bikable peninsula is home to some fascinating history, the longest open portion of the the Bay Shore Bikeway (as well as a nugget of the Pacific Coast Bicycle Route), and the longstanding Hotel del Coronado.

Laguna Beach - Art and Nature on Foot

Laguna Beach in Southern California is a uniquely walkable community and is committed to remain so: In the midst of a lucrative real estate boom, Laguna Beach opted to retain a greenbelt instead of razing all hillsides for homes. Businesses, hardly any of which are chains, must keep the town character by having a wooden sign. A small, isolated artist colony tucked between the ocean and coastal ...
Hermosa Beach Walker

Building a sidewalk or a bike path is crucial to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists alike. It's hard to imagine Hermosa Beach without its famous path, The Strand. The city council initially said no to the meandering bike path because they thought it would disrupt the volleyball and other activities that go on the beach, explains the former mayor featured in the above video.

what a great video I'm 67 years old i don't run anymore i walk every day better for my knees i feel great and lost 20 pounds yes please listen to this gentleman he is telling the truth thank you so much
I was a student of Rod Tolley back in 2000 at Staffs Uni in England. He is a truly inspirational man and inspired me. After graduating in 2001, I decided to cycle from England to Singapore via Siberia and Mongolia, and succeeded. I learned a lot. Not only from his lectures, but also from my year-long journey of 22,000 kms. Keep up spreading the message, Rod, even if it falls on deaf ears...
ive smoked a many a joint on those very trails and that very bench!
We all must adopt such trend and lifestyle which beneficial for our health.
I remember reading, some time ago, that if you want to lose weight and feel better, park your car about a mile from your work place. If you haven't been doing a lot of walking, my suggestion is that you park the car just a few blocks from your work place and every week, or less, increase that distance. If you work from home, a break of 15 minutes in the morning and another one in the afternoon will help you with your concentration as you work. I am not a doctor not any sort of therapist. I make these suggestions based on what I have read and done in my own life. Always talk with your doctor before starting any new exercise. President Truman used to walk every morning and his secret service detail had a difficult time keeping up with him at first.
❤ Atlanta BeltLine so beautiful I must visit
I wonder after telling us the benefits of walking why the author still tells us excuses for us not walking as much as we can as regular habit of living.
Lovely....just learned a new word....chucklebuddies!
Walking is definitely a quick fix for depression 😊
I get about 18,000 steps a day every single day!
This lady is so beautiful wow😮❤❤
Europe is walk dependent. While USA and Canada is vehicle dependent. Europeans are healthier than North Americans.
I joined a group on FB 2 months ago. First month being April we had to walk 30 minutes a day. May we added 8 glasses of water a day. That was tough for me but now I do it. June we’re tossing around ideas. Walk and keep track of our miles/ km and see if we can walk across our country. That’s not a for certain goal at this time
The mental health part of this is unmatched ! take a 20 min walk a day and come back to me a Week later
I can walk straight no right foot duck ...thank you from malaysia kuantan can l write to you DR
I started walking after mending from a fall and now I walked after dinner for 35 minutes upon diagnosed with diabetes. I find it de-stressing. I hope I don’t need anti-anxiety meds in the future.
Thank you
great video and information, thumbs down only for the annoying intro
Many stroke victoms are very skinny , it's shocking ! Low fat and mainly veggies might not be healthy after all .. 😮
You can be skinny and have high stress levels and have high blood pressure. I’m young and thin and had a stroke due to an AVM that ruptured in my brain. I ate very healthy and exercised daily. AVM is out of my control. Something you are born with.
Thank you.
Promotes walking, doesn’t walk.
Walking is amazing, but it's also not a cure -all. Some people need meds too and that's ok.
True and well stated
Walk fast uphills. And stairs including 6 miles a day
So true, I walk almost everyday, best method to kill depression. Pills are bad, I'll never take it to help me with depression.
I am about 70 years of age, been walking for 15-16 kilometers a day for the last 6-7 years. No complaints so far.
Stop lying!
@@angelrosario626 aww😄
@@angelrosario626 Try walking daily for about 2-3 kms, increase half a km every month or two. You will walk 10-12 km in no time.
About ---- 70 that's funny
Start walking and you will definitely feel a difference in a couple of weeks and it will turn into a healthy habit hopefully. Remember to mix it up and go different ways if you can and relax, breath and enjoy it. All the Best.
I miss the best drama show ever made. IMHO. I'm now on the 8th re-watch of the whole series.
Great message. My nickname is trail walker, given to me by my family. I walk every day. Walk!
I just started walking an hour per day a couple weeks ago and I think my motivation and focus have improved. I don't include whether or not I walk the dogs, that's just extra walking, which just increases the benefit (icing on the cake). I'm doing it to lose visceral fat actually, since it's the most effort-efficient way burn fat instead of sugars, and additionally reduces cortisol, rather than increasing it like some more strenuous exercises. Also reduces risk of injury. Getting in an hour per day is flexible, I can grab 15 minutes before work, 15 minutes during lunch break, and 30 minutes after dinner, or any other combination that fits my schedule any particular day. If I accidentally overeat on dinner then I get at least an hour before going to bed which improves sleep. I plan to start adding in weight training AFTER I have lost the fat.
Walking is better than any pill given to you by a doctor! Fast food, cars and the medical industry has destroyed our true self's over the last decades.
Well done. Keep going 👍
Walking is better than any pill a "doctor" will ever prescribe you.
