Episode notes
Walking Burns More Fat At Low Intensity
- Low-intensity walking uses a higher percentage of body fat for fuel compared to high-intensity exercise.
- As intensity rises, bodies shift to anaerobic metabolism and burn more glycogen than fat.
Aim For 8,000 Daily Steps
- Aim for at least 8,000 steps per day as a practical minimum for health and longevity.
- Use simple neighborhood loops or indoor routes to reliably accumulate steps every day.
Use Walking To Improve Sleep And Recovery
- Walk daily to build sleep pressure and improve sleep quality, aiming for higher daily non-exercise movement.
- Use walking as an active recovery tool after workouts and surgeries to speed healing.
