Dean Guedo (@walk.more.king) is a nutrition coach who has a simple message: walk more, WAY more. A former athlete and teacher turned trainer and fellow Canadian, and now full time online nutrition coach. He also contributes to the Compound Performance Radio podcast.

If you have listened to any previous podcast episodes, or follow me on IG, you know I am a HUGE proponent of daily outdoor walks. But I think Dean even takes it further than I do. We should all be walking and move WAY more. 10 minute walks are great, but for most of us that’s not really enough to move the needle. You’ve tried to eat a bit less and that works, but for how long? Maybe the answer is to massively increase your walking output.

We also spoke about the concept of weight maintenance. Not gaining weight is a good thing. Most people gain a little weight each year. If you can walk enough to offset that, you’re doing great.

There are tons of environmental and logistical challenges to getting more movement in the day, and we went over this. It’s normal, but not moving is not an alternative. We also finished off with discussing some future outlooks of the health of the population, and how increasing walking can make a massive difference at the population level for years to come.

If this episode doesn’t motivate you to get up and go for a walk, I’m not sure what will. Get up, and get out there.

Be sure to follow Dean on IG, and check out the Compound Performace Radio.
