Thank you for this post. It was the first thing I read this morning and may have sparked a change. I only failed by walking 90 minutes instead of the suggested 30.😎

That’s awesome, Leonardo!! I’m glad it got you moving this morning. A 90 minute walk hit much differently than 30 minutes! Good work!!!

Love this article. I am going to implement this because I really can’t run anymore. My hip and back can’t handle it.

Thank you so much, Christina!! I don’t run at all anymore. It’s miserable from start to finish. Walking on an incline with the ruck backpack has been game changing. Low impact and meditative, but my legs have gotten so much stronger and toned from just walking incline.

U do it outside only?

I'm such a walker. It's probably the one practice I've returned to more consistently than any other. Through the hardest seasons, when other routines have fallen away, walking has remained. Hills, trails, poles, neighbourhood streets, hours with an audiobook, a podcast or music. I rarely set out expecting anything to happen, but I almost always come home feeling like something inside me has quietly rearranged itself. Love this levelling up.

hi, Suzanne! walking is a great exercise to keep us grounded and consistent during hardship times!

every time I go out walking, I come back home with a clearer mind!

It really is, isn’t it? 😊

So I’m down 17 lbs. in 40 days because of portion control and pickleball. I gave up pizza, pasta, and french fries for now. I’ll have to add incline walking if we ever see 70 degrees again!

Jess, The Creator's avatar

you’re strong for giving up the pasta, pizza, and French fries!! those are all my favorites haha

I hope it warms up soon!! incline walking is low key the secret to getting lean.

That means a lot thank you! I’m really glad it resonated. And hey, if it got you back out there even a little, that’s a win already. Let’s keep the momentum going 🙌
