Why Walking Matters: The Science Explained
Build More Strength with Every Walk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I read two powerful articles that dig into how walking can be more than just cardio: “This Is How to Boost Your Walks to Build Muscle?” — where we explore what muscles walking actually works, why it’s more about endurance than bulk, and simple tweaks (like hills or intervals) to boost strength. And, I read “5 Ways to Mix Up Your Walks for More Fitness Benefits,” revealing smart techniques—changing your pace, route, terrain, or adding bodyweight moves—to keep walking fresh and maximize your health gains. Whether you’re walking for fat loss, muscle tone, or just better fitness, this episode will help you level up your stride.
