I Walked 10,000 Steps Per Day... Here's What Happened 

Hi Shelby, just wanted to say I appreciate how your content focuses on experiences rather than just purchasing or accumulating things. It's such a breath of fresh air not to always be encouraged to buy new clothes or beauty products. Those things also have their time and place and can be fun to watch, but I know with your content I'm usually going to learn something or have something new to think about to implement today or in the future. Keep it up! Oh and by the way even though I also watch Monica and have watched you both for a little while now, I just realized the other day you were twins, which should have been obvious lol.

Been taking 30-40 minute walks during lunch break since about 7 years ago, whether I'm in the office or when I work from home. Really like it

After seeing Shelby start this challenge in her vlogs its amazing seeing the final product. It really shows how much time and energy goes into her videos

I’ve been walking 30mins daily for almost 2 months now. I love it! I used to find it so hard to fall asleep and not waking in the night. Now I sleep like a baby. And I look forward to my walk every evening outside after dinner. On the weekends I walk in the morning! It’s lovely!!

I can't even count to 10k! Hahaha. My mom is 62. She has been walking at least 10 miles a week for about 20 years. She is pretty spunky for her age. Lately with these last two years. I have been out of shape and tired af. This is a good video to make as a reminder to take care of your body. :)

I just started doing this last week! So excited to watch and hear about your results... perfect timing 😆

I’ve been walking 10,000 steps most days for about a month. I allow myself a minimum of 5, so I probably do two days a week of 5000, and 5 days a week of 10,000 or more (16,000 today), and I am SO productive and so much fitter. I didn’t notice any change after the first week though, so sticking to it is better!

I used to walk 1 hour every morning back in 2019, I stopped and never went back to it, this video has given me motivation! Thanks Shelby x

I watched to see the healthy benefits of walking 10,000 steps. I also watched to see how shelby keeps her white shoes so pristine and white miraculously after walking those 10,000 steps!! She must have a shoe care regimen that she needs to drop soon!

I literally took 9,000 steps this morning 🙌 . Im glad your inspiring others and yourself to focus on health awesome video .

I try to break it down into 3 walks. One in the morning, one in the midday and one late afternoon. It makes the walks more doable on a daily basis, plus it keeps your blood circulating throughout the day, which I find keep my energy levels higher. Add in a couple coffee runs and I usually get pretty close my 10,000 steps.

I've been feeling tired for a long time and on the days I exercise I really do feel better. Thanks for the motivation!

Shelby, all your points mentioned in this video is spot-on! The positives immensely trump the consequence: spending more time walking. I love walking 10ksteps! Got a fitness watch so i can walk w/o my phone and it can track my steps more accurately.

During covid when I was working from home, I would walk everyday with my dad and easily hit 10k steps. The notable difference in my mood was night and day. Walking is definitely underrated and I even lost some weight.

I hate that everyone thinks 10,000 is the “perfect amount” because the real “perfect” amount is more than you’re used to or more than you usually do! Just get better every week!

Yes! We are literally in the process of moving from the burbs to a community that isn't quite a city but is extremely walkable. We both WFH and I can't wait until I can incorporate this more into my daily routine!

I enjoyed your vlogs when you were making this video, and it’s cool to see the final cut! Appreciate all the useful content.

A week! Girl, I've been doing it (and often much more) for over two years now and it's great. Do at least 10,000 daily. You owe it to your present and future health, mood and outlook. I never listen to music while I'm out there either. I want to experience the world as it is. Good job and video.

Love this video! Thanks so much Shelby! 💛

Have I try this? Yes. One year later still doing it almost everyday. I normally average about 30-60 minutes a day and get in 2.5-5 miles of walking each morning before starting my workday. It’s been great for me as it puts me in a positive mood and generally sets my day off on the right foot.

I really enjoyed this video! I have been having a hard time sleeping and have been extremely tired all of the time. I also rarely walk or exercise (partially because I am so tired) and this really motivated me to want to wake up earlier before work to walk. Thank you!

Hey Shelby! Awesome video. As always. Your content is always on point. Especially making it with broad perspective and very down to earth, obtainable goals for life most of us live. Congratulations on your success and the new Joshua Tree property/project.💜 Wish you continued success and happiness!

Love this!! I would love to see more content like this when you have time. Maybe like benefits of juices cleanse or fasting as well. You are just so great at research and results afterwards!

Walking rocks - so good for us - nice video Shelby !!

Hey Shelby! Love this video on walking and how underrated it is. I walk at least two miles a day and I've switched from using the riding lawn mower to the walking lawnmower on an acre lot to get more steps in weekly. Also, I found that walking puts you in an Alpha state and during this time I listen to Evan Carmichael and Lewis Hughes podcasts, which are 1 to 3 hours long. If you are familiar with them, they have great teachers and leaders sharing great content on self improvement.

When I work from home and don't get in a walk in the morning, I find myself to be more tired and not so productive right from opening my computer. I go to the office a few days a week and need to walk a bit to get there and it really just sets a better mood for the day, and I feel more energetic so I definitely think there's something to getting a few short walks in every now and then during the day! I really need to make morning walks a habit even when I'm working from home. Great video! ☺️

I was gonna spend a few more minutes watching RU-vid but Shelby got me in the mood for walking , like right now .

I go for 1-1.5 hour walks almost every day and it's honestly so refreshing. I usually listen to music while walking, which is entertaining but doesn't fully allow my brain to decompress and relax. I completely agree, walking without listening to anything really helps your mind clear itself and would be more beneficial for health. Now I'm excited about my walk tomorrow morning lol.

I just recently checked out that in college I walked on average 7k steps and that was because I didn’t have a car to go to school nor work. I’ve been recently trying to make this journey again and get my steps up because remote work makes that almost impossible. Thanks for doing a video on this! I’m trying to stay motivated 💯

the vlogs have had me waiting on this video for weeks! such a cool idea.

Great video as always! Thanks for walking 10,000 steps every day for us :)

No joke, just the intro made me stand up and take a walk around my neighborhood! Thank you! Also overall great video, I am going to try this!

So happy to see this upload frequency!

I have been walking 10,000 steps or more a day for the last 7 years. I find if you stroll it will take a long time but if you walk for exercise and get cardio in 10,000 steps might take me 1 hour which I get done in the morning. I need to do this for my mood so if I have to wake up 15 to 20 minutes earlier I will. It’s just all around better for sleep energy mood etc. But if you are just trying to fit walking in here and there in your day it could take a long time. Thanks for your video Shelby. Always great content.

I walked almost every day during the summer of 2020. This was so refreshing. I unfortunately fell out of it but I'm going to start again soon.

I’ve been waiting for this

Started walking in the mornings before work and it has helped me a lot with my anxiety while working every day and it is great for work at home people because you don’t get that commute time this can simulate it . Great video

This was such a great video! It really encouraged me to walk more. It also made me realize how little steps I get in each day. Personally when I was working at Sephora a couple of years ago I was walking back-and-forth all day restocking, color matching, at the cashier, getting perfume samples, etc, that I actually went through a major weight loss very naturally and I didn’t realize it until now post pandemic after gaining 50 pounds due to working from home and being a full-time student from home. Crazy!

Thanks for the motivation!

Thanks for sharing the importance of walking in this busy world. Will be very helpful for many. Great job. Greetings from India.

Great video Shelby, very informative and entertaining. More lifestyle videos if you enjoy making them.

Great place to walk. Our daughter lives in that neighborhood, we do a lot of walking when we visit her. We walk from second street to the pier and back almost every day, and I have to tell you as a 64 year old guy I feel energized. Especially if we stop at the Promenade for drinks 😋🤣

I walk almost everyday at least 30 minutes and like you Shelby I have so much energy!

Love the encouragement to move!

Thanks for the video! I'm gonna start this early morning tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Living in Rome, I hit 10k steps without thinking about it.. I've even lost over 30 pounds and still indulge in pizza and pasta 😅 walking is great

Great video! Thank you🙏🏻

I always do 10k steps on my days off! My mood is AMAZING even if it’s just the same trail every time. I do more brisk walking so it’s higher intensity to get my heart rate up and I reach my step goal faster.

Used to live on 11th and Wilshire and did an almost daily run to the beach and back. I'm seeing all the visuals I used to see on my runs, in your video. Love SM.

The 10k steps a day comes from an 80's watch company based in Japan. The reason why 10k was chosen because it looked good on a digital watch so it's all marketing. No need to do 10k steps. 4k to 6k is plenty. Many studies on this.

Excellent video! Although it's not new info to me, I really appreciated it. It was nice to hear a young person share personal results about one of my favorite passtimes. (Ps- I love your channel!!! 😃)

I love your videos, Shelby! Walking in LA is a weird thing... I always felt so alone doing it- like it was me and 5,000 cars. Even in Venice- I lived in Marina del Rey and would walk to Abbot Kinney for coffee and I always felt like I was the only one out there. But I did feel WAY more energized when I'd get back to my place from the walk!

Just started walking 10k after buying a fitbit. It’s been very encouraging 😂 it also made me realise just how many steps the phone doesn’t pick up. Yesterday my phone said I walked 3k while my fitbit picked up 11k

The 6 mile Boardwalk stretch between Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach is fantastic for long walks. You got some Beautiful Scenery in this video.. and it captures why people dream of living in Southern California.

Shelby is right! I actually have been walking 10,000 steps per day for quite a long time and my mood is fantastic. Great video as always!

Thanks, this video was really helpful!!!!!

Walk anywhere that you can, park as far away as possible, spend time outside. Since starting WFH in 2020 I started getting around 15k a day vs the maybe 6000 I would get stuck in the office and I feel so much better

Fantastic video

10,000 steps a day was my New Years resolution - I’ve done 118 consecutive days and now it’s just habit 💪🏼

i just started getting in 10000 steps up from 7000. pasadena is very walkable and i love being able to explore different neighborhoods or go to the rose bowl area and walk on the trails!

I walk every day over 10,000 steps. I agree with you. You sleep better and more relaxed. I started walking on June 6,2022 my weight was 145 and January 3,2023 my weight is 122. I lower blood pressure and cholesterol. I am so proud of myself. Good luck to you on walks. Be safe and careful. 👏🏼🙂👍

I love walking 10k steps! Been doing it for a while now. I burn 250-300 calories for an hour and half walk. I feel super sluggish and lethargic if I don't do it in a day. I also tried doing without music or headphones and it forces mindfulness and being aware of your surroundings. Glad I'm also a walkable distance to the office, so i do not have the extra commute.

I was barely walking 1800 steps in a whole day. Then about 3 weeks ago I tried to 10k steps per day. Some days I felt short but most days I I did achieve it and felt much better. I now look forward to my walks.

I miss living in NYC so much for this reason. I checked my health app recently and saw in 2019 I was getting 16 thousand step days and it felt so normal and easy to walk so much! Then COVID happened and now living in FL in a car area I really have to go out of my way to get in steps. It feels like work to get 10 thousand when that was just normal for life in NYC!

I love walking because it gives me a chance to clear my mind ✨

My car broke down so I've been walking much more. I used to walk and was in decent shape. But, being car-less, it totally addressed problems (weight) I had ignored. Finding new things was always a plus. Walking through old neighborhoods and seeing the architecture of the houses is one thing I enjoyed the most when I was in Chicago.

I live in NYC and I walk 10k steps+ a day easily just going throughout my day.

Walking is great, the wife and i walk a lot during the week ( we have a 4 year old beagle) and ride mountain bikes on the weekend. Thanks for sharing

When you first announced that you were doing this video, I was inspired and thought it would be cool to do it too on my trip to Mexico. I didn’t get much b roll so I did away with the video but I did sleep much better that week. I think it’s the combination of walking, heat exhaustion, and alcohol too lol

Do a part 2 - I sprinted full speed everywhere.

This came out so goood!! After our shoot I actually started walking more and more everyday! Slowly getting to 10K steps per day!

running/jogging will easily cut the time by half or more. I prefer running for 20min as my first thing in the mornings. I usually get 3~3.5 miles in, and then on top of that, my normal walking around the house throughout the day (2.5-3k steps?) gets me over the 10k pretty easily.

It helps with all you said and i think it helps your posture💜

I always feel better when I get at least 7k steps in per day! It's hard when you're not in as walkable of an area, but another tip I love is to go to the gym even on rest days just to do a 30-60 minute treadmill walk.

Uptown Dallas is a great walkable place, so is Tokyo plus Tokyo is completely safe day or night!

I really miss going to Santa Monica State Beach and walking the beach walk in the mornings. I don't live in West LA anymore, but the walking was a part of my day and it was amazing.

Thank you Shelby. I hope this'll help me too. Btw I've heard many martial artists support walking. But how do you record the steps like how much steps do we take and whatnot. Because if we count em I don't think we'll be relaxed even tho we exhaust ourselves with walks!

I’m surprised you didn’t go on any hikes. That’s the best way to get 10k steps in IMO

I was blessed with a job near the Promenade in Brooklyn Heights, NY and started every workday (no matter the weather!) with a wonderful walk there. Great views and the regulars would look out for each other. Crappy job, great neighborhood made it tolerable!

I did this for 4 months, living in nyc… and at the end while it was empowering, I was killing myself trying to reach this goal.

You go girl...Great exercise

Great video

I’m inspired to do an extra long walk this morning with Mia! Thank you 😊

I did about 12.,000 steps a day for a couple weeks, split morning and evening and it drastically increased my energy 💯

I lived in the same neighborhood where your Airbnb is for 4.5 years (Lincoln & Idaho) and I didn't even have a car! Under 2 miles, I walked... 2+ miles, I biked! I still live on the west side, but I miss the location of that neighborhood so much and how walkable it is.

Thats what it is!! Omg Shelby I was telling my friend how great i feel and how I have been sleeping well. I didn't correlate it with the walking! I started walking a few miles every other day acouple weeks ago... ♥️💯

I really like this video it might be one of my favorites that you've ever done. I had hip surgery back in October because I could hardly walk anymore. I'm 61 years old and I am quite a bit overweight. So I'm in recovery from hip surgery and I recently watched someone's dog and it got me out of just sitting on my rear end and I would take the dog out every day for 5 days like 3 times A-day the morning was the longest walk it was you know 2 hours I don't know how many steps or how far I'm guessing over a mile total but I didn't notice I had more motivation to do stuff and I am sleeping better at night. So there really is something to what you said. Thank you for this video.

I think with this pace is quite important. I try to go as fast as comfortable so I'm done in 1.5hrs or less most days. I live in a hilly city and it doesn't always seem to take into consideration I'm puffing my way uphill! I also heard the phone isn't as good as a watch for step-counting, as it tends to miss more steps, but I don't know if this is true.

This video was so interesting and entertaining to watch. I'd like to see some more Tesla videos too, you haven't made one in a while🙃

Walking have always given me perfect ideas during my recess/lunch break i try to walk 1-2K steps so about a weak i get like 10K steps

I'm a real estate agent in London and walk to and from work everyday, as well as walking around for viewings, so i totally get the hype of walking! I average like 18k a day and sleep VERY well! I loved this video. Like Adjoa AA, I really really appreciate you giving us content that isn't just buying things.

You can overlap stuff to minimize the time impact of walking. My gym is a ~20 min walk away, or a 10-15 min drive with parking. I just put an audiobook on, so I'm walking, getting audiobook time in, and replacing driving time, so in reality it really isn't 'costing' me any time. You can also listen to podcasts or even RU-vid videos on audio if that's your thing. Also, since I'm walking, I can focus on the audio a little more than if I was at home with tons of distractions. Just this little round trip gets me 4000 steps a day.

As soon as i get to the city area..i start walking it's a good thing🚶‍♀️🌴

Hi Shelby !!

Yes! I do 10,000 steps a day, well maybe not on weekends.😉 I got a Fitbit for Christmas and it has changed my life. I have always walked alot but needed an organized way of doing it. I like how Fiitbit reminds you every hour that you need to move your butt!😄 I did it more for my mental health (my beloved dogs Ziggy and Cricket) died last year so Daisy (my pom) and I walked and walked until grief somewhat subsided but have continued with it. I like the Fitbit because it tracks it all and it records every step you take rather than having to carry a cell phone which only records when you carry it. Yay for being in the 10,000 steps club. *Hugs* Great vlog by the way!

Casey Neistat got me into running and only then did I realize in general how simple the idea of walking/running/cardio is! You get so much in return for a simple 20-60mins of your day depending on your level! I’m able to run 5 miles daily, and at this point it’s like walking to me and I always am very healthy! I’m jealous of people on Strava doing 15miles in a day! My feet start burning after 10miles!

I am not in a walkable area outside of Seattle but when the weather is nice and I have the time I like to walk to coffee shops and edit from them or study. It ends up being 8k steps total to the nearest one and over 10k to the others. I try to go twice a week. I also hate paying for parking so I always walk very far when I go to Seattle. I love walking I find many gorgeous things. I saw an owl one time and a fisher and I have counted 90 fuzzy caterpillars before.

The thought of walking being underrated crossed my mind half a second before you stated it!

I walked roughly 10,000 steps a day, almost every single day in the year 2021, and I lost a total of 60lbs. Mixed with a clean diet.

You do such amazing presentation video. You seem to spend a lot of time on these. What is the average time you spend on a video for this channel?
