Over the last 30 days, American Robin Leird has decided to try daily walks, trying to take 20,000 steps every day and listening to her body. The initiator of the experiment was a weirdo from the street, which she noticed every day on the way to school, and decided to try similar experience.
Note that during the pandemic, Robin went about 15,000 steps a day to keep the shape. Now she decided to add another 5,000 steps to this and to carefully study the impact of such activity on her body.
The results of the experiment were impressive. After 30 days, Robin noticed that her body became slimmer and tight, she lost a few pounds of fat and gained muscle. In addition, she felt improving the quality of sleep and noted the increase in mood.
The researcher agrees with the statements of experts that physical activity stimulates the selection of endogenous drugs, which makes a person happier. It is important to note that this positive effect is achieved when you feel like walking as a pleasant process, not as a duty or method of weight loss.
Robin Leird provides advice to those who want to start daily walks. She recommends that you just go outside and enjoy walking without worrying about the number of steps at first. And only when it becomes familiar and pleasant can you start tracking the number of steps. You can take walks by combining them with other cases, such as work or watching movies so that you do not waste time.
"I do not go to reach a certain number of steps to feel good and enjoy every day," Robin Leird shares his story.
