I Walked Over 25,000 Steps A Day For 30 Days - Incredible Results!

- If you google what is the best form of exercise, the result you will see will be walking. While it doesn’t burn the most calories, you can do it for a long time, it gets your heart rate up and improves your cardiovascular system, it has a relatively low impact on the body, and just about everyone can do it. So it makes walking one of the most sustainable forms of exercise for most people. Also, it’s really fun to get outdoors, maybe talk to a friend while doing it, or listen to a podcast or book and learn at the same time!
Now 10,000 steps a day has long been the suggested goal for most people, but the average American typically only gets 3000 to 4000 steps in each day.
Now I am no stranger to walking challenges. I've done several in the past, but before attempting this endeavor, I got my diet under control by changing my eating habits. I went from 198.2 pounds, down to 187.4. Then I stagnated and stayed around 188 lbs for several weeks. I knew I needed to kick it up a notch to get over this plateau.
So for the next 30 days I decided to dedicate as much time as I could to walking to find out what kind of results I could get. So here is what I found out from this experiment.
According to the data, to get the most out of your walk, you need to make sure you walk at a brisk pace. For me, this is between 3 to 4 miles per hour.
Now I know it may be difficult to gauge how quickly we are walking, so I recorded myself on the treadmill at various speeds so you can get an idea of exactly how fast you have to be walking to be at these speeds.
Here is one mile per hour
Here is two miles per hour
Here is three miles per hour
Here is four miles per hour
Here is five mile per hour
Walking around 3.5 miles per hour I can get in around 6500 steps per hour. This speed keeps my heart rate in the 110 to 120 beats per minute range.
I dedicated at least 2 hours towards strictly walking every day, some days I had more time and could dedicate 3 or 4 hours and I combined these steps with the normal number of steps I take in any given day to come up with the total number of steps I took for the day.
In the course of 30 days, I averaged 27,607 steps per day, for a grand total of 828,229 steps for the month! This comes out to a total of 414 miles for the month! That’s greater than the distance of the state of Kansas (410 miles wide)
The increased walking clearly had a positive effect on my cardiovascular system. My resting heart rate also went from 62 beats per minute to 57 beats per minute.
I found I burnt about 45 calories for every 1000 steps I took, so when you combine the burnt calories from walking with my basal metabolism rate, I burnt around 3000 calories a day.
When sticking to a healthy diet I was dropping about 2 pounds every week. This was a healthy amount of weight to lose in a week.
Diet is really a very important part of losing weight and maintaining health, that truly can’t be stressed enough. When you combine a good diet with just brisk walking, I promise you will see results.
I’ve covered my diet in a previous video, but if you missed it, I want to cover it again just to show you how just changing my diet made a huge difference in my overall health.
So with a healthy diet and over 25 thousand steps a day, my weight went from 188 pound down to 178.6 pounds over the course of 30 days. Some other impress stats that changed were:
My BMI went from 26.3 to 25
My total body fat went from 20.9% down to 18.9%
My subcutaneous fat (the fat stored in the skin) dropped from 18.2% down to 16.7%
My Visceral Fat (the fat stored around your organs went from 9 to 7

Walking is good for the body and the soul. It doesn't get the credit it deserves.
Agreed!
Thanks for doing this- I have lost almost 40 pounds in the past year and struggle with getting the last 10 pounds off- I’ll be implementing this for the next month to see how I get on!
Update: it’s been 23 days since I started doing this.. I set a goal of 20,000 steps a day. I was already averaging 10,000 daily steps so I really needed to get creative to add more steps with 2 toddlers at home. No changes to my diet and I’ve dropped from 141lbs to 136lbs with a final target of 130! Turns out I just needed to move more to reach my goal weight, and I’m glad I didn’t have to drop my calories anymore than I already had in the past year…in fact I may have eaten slightly more on a few of the days. Thanks!
New update: it’s now the 24th of may. I started walking 20k steps on march 13th and have gone from 141 to 131 pounds. 1 more pound to get to my 130 pound target! I did have to dial in my diet to get the last 3 pounds off but not too drastically.
That’s great, congratulations on that weight loss. Best of luck to you!
His it been since implementing this?
Congrats ! Happy to hear this.
Gosh. It should have dropped off you when dieting at the same time. I am plant-exclusive and lost 3 dress sizes in 6 weeks walking 20k steps a day. Went from UK size 14 to UK size 8 in 6 weeks
I'm a gas leak surveyor Basically I walk gasolines in service lines up to houses looking for leaks i keep track of my walking with a amazon fitbit and i walk Easily at least 10,000 steps everyday Usually before noon Averaging 18,000 steps A day. I really recommend this type of work. You don't have to go to college and you get to be active and enjoy the outdoors all day. It is good paying utility job.
That does sound like a pretty fun job
This is awesome. I'm easing into the goal of 20k steps daily on non workdays. On workdays I only seem to get 11-13k with a 45 min morning walk plus regular activity. I work 12 hr shifts standing and making small steps all day as a pharmacist.
Best of luck, hope you are able to meet your goal!
You are a legit inspiration for any common/clueless person. massive respect for putting such videos out.
Thank you, much appreciated!
Congrats my G. Hopefully your'e still full steam ahead.
Great video! Always enjoy when you put new videos out!
Thank you, i appreciate hearing that!
you're an inspiration. thank you for documenting and sharing.
Over 25k steps a day is crazy impressive
Love this. Thanks for sharing!
I moved overseas and I don't own a car. I got hooked on walking. I average 15,000 steps a day and I lost about 10 pounds just by walking. Also the American diet is horrible.... On the weekends, I would get up to 30,000 steps. My friends think I am crazy but I love walking. I get to see more with walking and love exploring. You can't imagine some of the things I get to discover just by walk instead of taking the bus or taxi.
That’s awesome, greats for you!
I appreciate you! You’ve inspired me to start walking to lose the excess weight. Thank you❤️
Yeah man I’ve been walking about 18,000 steps a day for the last month while I’m on the 75 hard program and it is an all day endeavor and I’m very proud of you because 30,000 steps is just crazy good
6.6k more to go for 100k, keep grinding man!
I know, I’m hoping it happens! Thanks for watching!
Huge difference in the side by side comparison your posture greatly improved great job. I’m inspired to do the same.
Good luck in your endeavor!
Thanks for not trying to sell nonsense and just give your experience.good job.
Great video ! So thereafter what has been your walking routine?
Nice and straight to the point under 4 minutes - thanks!!
It’s 6 minutes…🤣🤦♂️
Doing at least 10k steps a day. Have been stagnated in my 250lbs for wayyy too long. Since I’m a freshman in college, I have to walk everywhere already, so I’ll make sure to get all my steps in. I’ll see if I can remember to update everyone here. Been a big fan of you Simple Man for a few years now, and have never stopped inspiring me, especially when I began to gain weight again. I’ll take your tips, implement them, and see if I can get any results!
Awesome man, I look forward to seeing your update! Best of luck to you, you got this 💪🏻
So? ☺️ How is it going now
How did it go?
How did it go brother?
Looking great my simple man!
Thank you!
I'm a Brit and to us the way Americans say "walking" sounds like you're saying whacking. I thought, oh, hello, this is something I can actually do. 🤔😜 The most steps I do on my treadmill is around 12,000 before I get ankle pain or shin splints. I'm in awe at what you achieve. Total respect to you, sir.
I find I tend to feel it more in my shins when I walk the the treadmill for some reason. Thank you, much appreciated!
Glad he didn’t mention how much “Water” he drank! 😂 Gotta ❤ dem 🇬🇧
Excellent video. Subscribed
Congratulations on your achievement! I’m currently on Day 5 of my 20k steps a day. I’ve split them up in doing 10k early morning by JumpRoping. Then the other 10k later in the day. I’m already feeling the difference in my abs tightening up! Hope this works! I would walk 25k a day too if we’re living in your beautiful neighborhood! You 🍀 ❤ 🙏
Great job, good luck in your journey!
I’m a female but I love your videos and I’m rootin for ya! Would love to see your channel explode! I love the simplicity in your videos!
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
Amazing results man, I'm on day 3 of my 100 push-up challenge and will definitely try to incorporate this once that's become a habit.
Awesome, how’s it going, are you super sore right now?
@@SimpleManChannel The first 10-20 push-ups of every day are painful, but after that, you loosen up, and as long as you stay active and don't take too long of rest it's all good.

The only thing I can think of is how this guy doesn't have already 1M followers? 🤔 Your content is awesome thanks bro.
Thank man, I truly appreciate that! Hopefully one day that will be the case!
@@SimpleManChannel i am sure you will achieve that soon bro! We will be here to like your videos and trigger YT algorithm 🔥💪!!
Awesome video! May I ask what kind of scale you’re using?
It’s an inevifit scale
What app did you use to monitor your health stats? Thanks!
Nice video. Cheers from italy mate
Good For You!! Now, I Need To Do This! Thank You For The Motivation!!
Thank you! Best of luck to you in this endeavor!
Great video!
How do you figure your metabolic age?
Keep walking!
Wow! Did you do any other exercises or just the walking
What app/scale were you employing to show the date on weight/body comp please?
25,000+ steps, 6 days a week is my job as a Postie,... rain or shine, & (currently) 969 address points. It's no wonder I get through so many shoes!!
Great video
Excellent video 👍
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!
Walking is a super power
Hi, thank you for this vlog.
I live in Ireland, where I’m from, by the sea (lucky me !!!). I used to live in Georgia, USA.
In Ireland, we walk a lot. In fact sometimes it’s just easier than taking a car and certainly less stressful. Typically I walk every morning before work and then again for at least an hour or two in the evening, before bed. This really helps with sleep and certainly the dog loves it too !!! People here socialise by walking, something that never happened in the States.
Typically my step count is @ 23k per day and doing more at the weekends as this involves trips to beach etc.
Can I ask you what App you use for body composition as per vlog ?
It’s the app for my scale, the inevifit Eros
What app do you use for your body weight etc?
Impressive. ❤ Inspiring too.
Thank you 🙂
Great video, does walking on a treadmill equal walking outside? Thanks scott
Yeah, its the same, its just about getting your heart rate up
which app did you use?
Walking 20k a day for 30 days really test your body out and mindset upto to 16 days of my Challenge.
Nice!
what toold o you use to measure the results? body fat, etc.
I’ve just seen one of your old videos where you tried dermaroller with rosemary oil for 5 mounths, at the time you said you didn’t see results but what about now, anything else worked for you? 👍🏽
I use the iRestore laser helmet and recently started taking saw palmetto ( for another reason, but it helps with hair too )
Loved the video! Was walking the only form of exercise you did during these 30 days or did you add in anything else? Thanks so much!
Just walking during this period, both else
So say you went back to 10k steps daily, would you go back to 188? Or is maintaining easier once you get to your goal
Maintaining has been easier so long as I stick to eating well.
The background music is so good, will you mind to tell me the song name?
I'm starting this tomorrow
What App are you using to record your progress?
I use an app on my phone
Anyone doing this for easing depression, please note we do not release endorphins until we have been walking for at least 30 mins, so if we walk for only 30minutes at a time, we get no endorphins at all. You need to do at least (AT LEAST) an hour at a time to get any benefit
Very inspirational. I was on a break for a long time and gained lot of weight, after seeing this video, I got the boost that I needed. Btw whats the music name at the end part of the video where u showed fitbit screenshots?
Thank you and best of luck to you! I believe it’s called “inspirational” and it’s from FesliyanStudios. I get a lot of my music from him.
Almost 100k subs now!
I know I hope I get there! I have a big video coming out this Saturday, hopefully it gets me there 🤞
How much calories were you eating daily ?
Thanks
How tall are you, and what were your calories per day?
You said that you gained an inch of height after doing something similar in the past.
Do you know if any others have had the same experience?
I haven’t heard from anyone about it
What apps are you using to track all the info?
My Fitbit tracks the steps, my scale does all the other stats. It’s an Eros smart scale
@@SimpleManChannel Thank you so much
How much lean mass did you lose?
Great video as always. When you say you walk for 2 to 4 hrs as per time, you mean at a stress or giving break.
Both really. Sometimes long periods at a time, like 2 hours, then later in the day for another hour or two. Usually on days I don’t work.
It’s great result, however the muscle mass dropped as well, I wonder if you added resistance training what would be the result
What do you use to measure metabolic age, bf% and other stats?
Fitbit
Thanks!
Dang man, thanks again! I really appreciate your kindness!
Went back to work after 2 years I walk that. Now my weight is dropping.diet .exercise. Take care thank you.
That great! Thanks old man, you too!
You look so good ♥️
I just made some changes
Put the incline on 8 and keeping mph on 2 until I can increase.
Been walking 25k steps a day. I go to the mall and walk with others. I also ride my bike and walk my dogs also.
Try that just with a pallet jack and 500kg palette on your back. 5 days a week 8 hours per day. And I average 20k-25k steps every day. Remember that steps depend on the device u measure with. Smartphones count way less steps than watch or wristbands. I use a smartphone in my pocket lol
What scale do you use?
It’s called an Eros
what is the tracking software tht you are using
I use an app on my phone
How many kgs loss 30 days
got a fitbit yesterday 1st day 16 thousand steps
I have Done this everyday all my life
I'm wondering
How you measure visceral fat.
I get that reading from my scale which uses electrical pulses to calculate it
@@SimpleManChannel ohh I see ok,
Yeah that would make sense
What device is that if you
Don't mind cuase I'm at 240
Lbs. Walked today 15000 steps.
You can download an app to tell you your walking speed
What app is that
It’s the Fitbit app
I walked 25k today wearing wrong shoes that were killing my feet so I took them off and walked just with socks on lol shoes are so important my toes were in excruciating pain
do a study for sprinting every day
Working on getting to 10 miles a day with a 6-7 mile pace. And glad to see that there can be results with just walking.
how tall are u, sir?
5’11”
Zoom meetangs on foot
Strolling Salad lunches in a big gulp cup
Man if you are able to pull that off that’s awesome!
105 step average a minute. In 60 minutes its 6000 something steps. Over 3 miles an hour.
Looks like you stayed on same street
I feel like jogging is way better than walking
For sure jogging is great, although it’s a bit harder on your body and most people can’t do it for as nearly as long. But if you can that’s great!
I'm trying doing this with barefoot shoes and its hell lol
You'll get used to it! I average between 22k and 25k steps a day and I just wear flat parkour shoes with no insole. It just takes time for the muscles in your feet to strengthen up so it's easier if you add distance slowly.
10lbs lost ok, but it was 60/40 muscle and fat , so only lost 4lbs of fat
25 km (25.000 steps) of walking each day, that sounds painful xD
for me it's 25 km, i am 2 meters tall and take large steps.
if you ever get to 1 million subscribers then you could do a challenge where you walk 33334 steps a day.
why? because it's 1 MILLION steps in only 1 month! :D
Experimenting too
3-4 hours per day is insanity no matter what people say
Better than sitting all the time
@@babyboltbark At least that makes me able to have a life. But i dont entirel agree. 4 hours is too much, but 2 is good.
Your stats showed you also lost a 4 pound non fat mass. I presume this means you lost muscle mass in the 4 weeks?
50.000 Steps A Day For 30 Days?
Walking would have to be your full time job lol
The best exercise is actually standing 🙃
One pound is 3,500 calories, walking burns 150 per hr. Do the math, waste of time.
I see you lost muscle too, almost 4 pounds of muscle
If muscle was lost , what would be the cause and is their any way to prevent it?
Thanks
If you lift weights as well you will probably gain muscle, or at least not lose any
You only lost 2 pounds per week?????!!!! With a "healthy" diet??? Wow that seems quite low for weight loss for that much work. At 5 miles per day (approx 10k) steps per day, and calories at about 1500/day, I lost roughly 3-4 pounds per week. Granted, I'm a woman so maybe a lot of that was water weight 🤔 😂 but in 2 months I lost 29 pounds.
If you've recently started losing weight that does sound like much of it could be water weight, but how much you burn also depends on your current weight. Walking doesn't burn a ton of calories, and the less you weigh the fewer calories you burn doing it. I'm currently around 117 lbs so I only burn about 70 calories per mile walking 3mph, whereas a 200 lb person would burn around 120 calories per mile at the same speed. I get in about 25k steps a day which is 8 miles per day on top of my regular activities, which only comes out to about 560 extra calories burned, or a little over 1 lb per week when I eat at my sedentary TDEE (around 1400 calories).
10 lbs in 30 days of that much walking is really sad. A lot of people lose that much with far less efforts. SMH
3000 calories per day in 1 week should be not just 2 pounds per week your calculation is wrong
