I placed an order. Unfortunately, your code didn’t work. I hope you get some sort of credit. ❤
How is it that as soon as you post a video… I just know its going to be great! Thank you in advance Chalene❤ 🎉
Oh that means the world to me! Thank you Nadia! 🥰
❤I love walking!
😘😘😘
People think I am crazy because I HATE wearing socks in my shoes, but I always say I need to FEEL my feet squeezing the shoe and expand my toes when necessary for grip, a sock is a weird barrier that doesn’t allow me to use the sensory I need from my feet and movement. I also have craved as I have aged chunky, fat shoes, especially in the toes. Makes total sense. If we listen to our bodies, they will tell you what it wants and needs!! Mark Sisson, you have made me feel a bit more normal about this, thank you!
Our bodies have a way of telling us exactly what they need or what feels best for them – we just have to listen and trust those signals. Keep doing what feels right for you!
I hate wearing socks lol
I love this and I’m only halfway through the video! I absolutely love walking. Mark is bringing up good points, especially about the high-cushioned running shoes causing poor form. Thanks for always bringing such great information, Chalene!
I totally agree! Thanks for leaving a comment but get back to it – it gets even better at the end!
I love Mark Sisson! He is such a beautiful and insightful man. I’ve been following him since the beginning of MDA. Thanks so much for having him on 😊
He’s so consistent and his teachings have always been based in common sense!

I don’t run anymore! My routine is weight training and walking. I especially love walking after a meal. It’s meditative to me. It’s really not about calorie burn anymore as I’m working hard to build strength through progressive loading of weights. It took me 65 years to get to this sweet spot! Thank you for this episode.❤
Oh I just love this! So happy you found the approach that works for you!
I never heard of feet health doing exercise. This is wonderfully all these technical details.
Glad you like it!
This makes sense, because I used to walk 3 to 4 miles a day and loved the way my body looked then. I stopped, because I kept having too many close calls with creepers and don’t feel safe at all. I’m single.. so I was always alone. Now I just need to figure out a safe way to walk more, because I do love walking .
I bought a walking pad from Amazon for about $200 and use it in the early mornings when I don’t feel safe outside.
The gym as well.
A key in the eyeball or small hairspray too sort the fecker out..Don’t let anymore make you scared or make you change your life..Best wishes ❤
I also bought a walking pad and love it
I just ordered a walking pad cause it gets cold early mornings and if I don’t do it in the mornings I won’t get it done.
I used to be a runner, I absolutely love walking now. I go to bed with clean yoga pants, put my sneakers on first thing in morning and walk dogs for an hour. My job is a desk job, I have a stand up desk and step all day! I usually get over 20,000 steps each day ! Great video!!
Love that! You are def killing it!!! 🔥🔥
I’ve achilles tendinitis in both legs so this has been extremely helpful. Hopefully will ease condition if not, rectify it 🙏🏽 ❤
I do too! Currently doing PT twice a day. I currently cannot walk but hopefully in a month!
Oh man this is good stuff!!! I’m not all the way through the video but I hope he’s going to mention exactly where to buy exactly what shoe. Thanks so much for the info !!!❤❤
Totally agree! It gets even better at the end!
Ever since I started following you Chalene I stopped running started lifting heavy weights and mostly just walking I’ve lost weight my body composition have changed tremendously
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing this 💜
I work a desk job. I get up early, walk 1-3 hours before work,walk during my 45 minute lunch,then walk at least another 90 minutes after dinner. I push for 20-25k steps a day. It is time consuming because I don’t walk fast but I need to keep moving!
Wow… what a life:(
Thanks for sharing😅
Now, that’s what you call dedication!
Started walking more based on your recommendation! ❤
So glad to hear that! 🥰
EVERY female runner I know of has had injury after injury, surgery after surgery..but they are 100% addicted and cannot or will not stop…WOW just WOW…..I LOVE WALKING !!!
How unfortunate!
Love my walks on woodland trails. Feel so renewed after. Older I’ve gotten (almost 60) the super intense hikes pounding hills is too much, I can still do the hills but slower. Walking in the woods has saved my sanity. 💚
That sounds amazing!
I walk outdoors when I can but I do have a treadmill I can use during the winter. What incline and speed does anybody recommend to get the most out of a 20 or 30 min walk?
Definitely going to look into the shoes. Making walking and lifting a priority
Love this video. So much!!! Thank you and can’t wait to go more minimal with shoes ❤
