🦵🦶 Speaking from experience, anyone who is overweight and wants to build muscles, please do cardio, not only to burn the fat but also improve your insulin sesitivity and blood flow which has positive correlations with muscle hypertrophy.
There's an illness called metabolic syndrome, where excess insulin is secreted by the body causing insuline desensetivity on the cells, which do not respond to insulin ''knocking on the door'' to deposit glucose cells within the muscle cells, which each 1 gram of it draws in 3-4 grams of water, causling muscle swelling and the contraction causing more force generation thus more power, better reps and more muscle gain. Furthermore, people with metaboic syndrome do not get a good blood flow preventing nutrients reaching muscle cells at optimum levels, again hindering muscle growth. This can happen in people who are visibly overweight, or with 'skinny fat' peaople as well, so one does not need to be morbidly obese for this to be present. You may have not read past the comma (,) in my abpve sentence ''Speaking from experience, anyone who is overweight and wants to build muscles, please do cardio,.......''' or read it and it may not have made sense to you as you may not knew any of the above. Take care.
Cardio will build vacularity through capillars and through this your muscles can grow better and Higher. There is a reason, that field athletes are building muscle pretty easy and often alot more. Look at GVS got example @@jacklauren9359
But do you guys do any of resistance training? All that steps won’t mean nothing without resistance training. Source: i work in hospital. I do lots of walking too. But it’s not enough
So I just turned 50. I walk 10000 steps + only started 3 months ago. During my walk there are steep hills of decent length. I walk up them backwards. My leg muscles now I feel like a professional walker. I do one small walk in the morning, around the block and this takes 15 mins and uses 3-4000 steps. Then in the afternoon I do a 40 min walk and that takes me over 10k. I also do weights 3 days a week and my life has improved drastically.
10k+ steps per day dramatically improves sleep in my opinion. This could be one of the most important benefits of reaching this step count goal. Thanks for the great video!
I've been working out for a bit but I wanted to create a full body 3-day hypertrophy routine for myself based on the equipment I have, I was wondering how it looked to you for someone training for under 2 years Any lacking muscle groups or anything that could be approved upon? Just trying to build out my frame ### Day 1: - Squats - Bench Press - Bent Over Rows - Lateral Raises - Romanian Deadlift - Skull Crushers - Cable Crunches ### Day 2: - Deadlift - Overhead Press - Pull-Ups - Bulgarian Split Squats - Face Pulls - Hammer Curls - Diamond Push-Ups ### Day 3: - Hip Thrust - Inclined Bench Press - T-Bar Row - Arnold Press - Leg Curls - Tricep Pushdown - Sitting Calf Raises
Thanks a lot for this highly researched and easy to understand video on how step counts may affect ones body I'll keep a look out for my total step count from now on, but not as a primary metric
I've got a blister on my heel that's been keeping me from walking the past few days. The moleskin patch fell right off, even with athletic tape wrapped around it. :'(
My European friends believe that the obesity epidemic is due to the American diet. This is definitely true to a certain extent. However, a European, on average, does not rely on the automobile to the extent an American does. The infrastructure in cities and villages makes walking ten thousand steps a day much easier. Therefore, an American must make a serious commitment to eat a good diet and to get off our butts and move. This whole movement of embracing our fatness and overall a society that concerns itself with worrying about feelings over facts, is a disguised cruel movement. Obese people need love like every other human, but true love speaks the truth. If you continue to eat crap food and stay on your sofa with the tv controller after sitting at a computer every day, a human being is going to get fat. If you get fat and stay fat then your quality of life will suffer tremendously. Being fit is not about vanity or body shaming, it is about health.
What speed on a treadmill would you say is optimal for body fat loss? I'm already at ~11% trying to get lower, walking anywhere from 10k-25k daily, but only at around 2-4 mph.
I've been walking with a 34 lb weight vest and it doesn't really work any muscles except for the traps. But not to the degree that I'd expect it to contribute to muscle growth in any significant amount compared to the shrugs I do.
10:29 "The analysis found that a higher daily step count was associated with a lower risk of death" Am I the only one who finds this sentence increadibly funny? 😂
