About this episode

Walking can be one of the best tools in your shed for serious fat loss.


In this lesson, I’ll be sharing with you how walking helps you lose stubborn fat, other surprising benefits of walking, and what the studies say in regards to how many steps you should take each day.


Additionally, I’ll be sharing with you some creative ways to use walking for faster results. 


Let’s start with how lack of steps leads to the accumulation of fat, especially belly fat…


First, we need to understand that we have an obesity problem here in the United States. Harvard is predicating by the year 2030, that 50 percent of the population will be obese!


When we look at the average steps people get, we see it is very low at less than 3,000 steps each day.


It’s not just the weight loss, it’s your overall health and longevity.


The first step here in your protocol is to walk at the right times

The second step here in your protocol is to create walking adaptations.

The third step is to increase the intensity of your walking.
