Beast over Burden powered by Barbell Logic

Learn why you should walk more, how it improves your health, mindfulness, and quality of life. Don't eschew this pedestrian but effective fitness tool.

Physical Fitness Benefits of Walking More

A good reason why you should walk more is because it provides many health & fitness benefits.

Andrew mentions a study that shows that the benefits of walking 10,000 steps a day equates to, essentially, a "change in effective years" of 8 years. To simplify, it equates to making you 8 years younger than you otherwise would be.

Now, it is easy to draw too much from studies, but what is clear is that walking was correlated with positive health outcomes. Walking is accessible to almost all people, usually exposes you to the sun and gets you out from behind screens, and gives you time to think about things.

Mental Health Benefits of Walking More

Another reason why you should walk more is the benefits to your mental health. Walking gets you away from screens and your everyday problems. Creating this time and space to do something else let's you think or do other important activities such as think, talk, or listen to a podcast or audiobook.

Walking is a great activity to do with deep work. You can decide to take a break from the urgent and focus on the important, while doing something physical.

Why you should walk more!? Because it's all-around good for you.
