I Walked 30,000 Steps A Day / 100 Miles In 7 Day - Here's What Happened

- So what does it take to walk 100 miles in a week, it averages out to about 14.3 miles per day.
For me, this is about 31,000 steps each day. Obviously this challenge is not something you could likely maintain day after day, but that is what makes this a challenge, it’s difficult!
I can get about 1000 steps in about 8 minutes, so this comes out to a little over 4 hours of continuous walking.
So here is a quick rundown of how I did each day.
One day 1 I was able to get in 32,896 steps, this equalled 15.27 miles and my body burnt 4610 calories for the day.
Just to clear things up a little bit here, every day my body will burn about 1836 calories even if I do absolutely nothing, this is known as your basal metabolic rate (bmr), so the increased activity burnt an additional 2,774 calories. My Fitbit tracks my heart rate, so it is able to use that data, combined with my current body composition to determine roughly how many calories were burnt. So this is how my calories burnt were calculated.
On day two I got in 37,108 steps for a total of 17.22 miles. The total calories burnt this day was 5117.
Day 3 started out wet and nasty, which meant a lot of walking would have to take inside. This involved walking around the house and in place, luckily though the weather cleared up and I was able to get outside for a bit. I ended up setting a personal best though 41,430 steps equaling 19.25 miles.
On day four I got in 31,137 steps for a total of 14.45 miles
Day five netted me 31,043 steps for another 14.39 miles
Come day six my body was wearing down but I still got in 30,249 steps equalling 14.29 miles
And finally day 7 I punished my sore body to get in 30,144 steps totaling 14.44 miles
And just like that, my week of walking 100 miles was over, and now it’s time for me to show you the results
In 7 days I walked 234,007 steps for a grand total of 109.32 miles or about 176 kilometers.
According to my fitbit I burnt 32,943 calories in these 7 days. My basal metabolic rate, the amount of calories my body burns every day just to keep itself alive is 1829 calories a day, this means that the extra activity of walking primarily burned 20,140 calories.
While walking my heart rate typically stayed between the range of 109 to 129 beats per minute.
According to the numbers my fitbit had me burning about 86 calories for every 1000 steps.
I started out with a weight of 196.8 pounds and finished the 7 days at a weight of 192.6 pounds for a total of 4.2 pounds lost.
My body fat percentage decreased by .9% and here are several other areas you can compare.
My calves also saw some minor growth, growing about ¼” when compared the end results from my recent video calf raises for 30 days.
You have probably heard of runners high before, where after running, the runner’s body releases endorphins that cause a state of euphoria. Walking this much also created a similar effect for me, a walkers high if you will.
Before I started this challenge my resting heart rate averaged 66 beats per minute. At the end of the 7 days that number had lowered to 61 beats per minute.
My blood pressure also improved lowering slightly from 120/88 to 117/82.
And finally, something I found the most interesting, I have grown 1 inch. I have always been 5”10” for years. My back began to hurt from all this walking and when I looked it up it said walking strengthens your spine and in effect can make you taller slightly taller. Sure enough when I measured my height I was now 5’11”. I actually don’t know if this occurred over this week or not though since I don’t normally measure my height and I have tried to make it a point to get in at least 15000 steps in a day for the last year and a half. Either way at 35 years old I grew 1 inch recently.
It was a fun challenge, and now I look forward to sitting down for a bit and getting some rest. I’ll see you in the next one! - Jak na to + styl

Been walking 12 miles a day for past 3 months
watch Dr Sten Eckberg's videos , you will find information there that will make you more successful
When I was homeless in a northeastern city during the winter I did 30,000+ steps a day just to keep warm. The most I ever did was 54,000. Best shape I was ever in.
I started walking about 2 weeks ago at 321 lbs. I initially could only walk 10 minutes at a brisk pace before experiencing pain in my right hip. I would take brakes but make sure to get my 10k steps a day. Now I'm 305 and can do 2 hours straight (10-12k steps)with no pain at all. When I began, I would listen to audio books that entertained me, now I listen to books that expand my knowledge. It's fun.
You're doing great!
I swear my walks with Audible are what's keeping me most sane in a COVID hotpot
keep going man sounds like you’re doing good
Keep it up dude
Keep it up! Doing awesome
👌👌👍👍👏👏👏
Good job. I got 30k plus steps today. In Mountain terrain. I'm 60 yrs. Old and getting healthier by the day. Tired and some soreness.
I did 26k steps a day for about 10 days and it definitely had great results so I can confirm everything you saw in your 7 day challenge. Walking also tends to be a great low impact exercise and when you keep it low impact it will burn fat for energy rather than glucose. Also keeping it low impact will keep your cortisol levels down to improve that fat burning and reduce fat storage. Walking is the best exercise.
Cheers cheewy
Deepak R that height growth by one inch was little too much
Walking helps loosing weight...if you don't take too much calories a day 🙂✋
30000 steps a day , a big pizza at noon, a cheeseburger+a cake at dinner and goodbye , you're even gaining weight 😋👻
Diet+ walking or doing 2h workout a day : great results , but hello yo yo effects when the diet is over 😋
@@silentnature1079 We only gain back the weight if we go back to eating more calories than we burn. Its not like we magically gain back weight for no reason. Its by going back to the same destructive habits that made us gain weight in the first place.
@@silentnature1079 you can actually eat whatever you want and more of it. You just gotta burn more calories.
About two months ago, I decided to change my lifestyle. I stopped eating like crap and drinking soda and I started walking at least 10k steps a day. I've lost 24 pounds in those 2 months! The weight is just falling off me and it's great. I'm about 40 lbs overweight right now so I'm hoping to keep the momentum going. Walking is so addicting! I love being outside and having my "me time". I love it and it's such an easy exercise. I spend about 2 hours outside walking everyday in the morning. It has to be first thing in the morning or it's too hot outside. I live in Texas so you can imagine the heat and humidity.....😂😂 I'm drenched in sweat from head to toe by the end of my walk. It's all uphill then downhill, rinse and repeat so it's pretty strenuous but still relatively easy.
Good for you, hope you can keep it up!

I got a new job last fall and generally walk at least 20,000 steps a day 5 days a week. Over 7 months I lost over 35 pounds. I could lose another 30. We'll see what the rest of the year brings

That was hilarious 😂
I’m happy to see other people do this! I’ve been a distance runner for 7 years now. By walking to the gym, running 10 miles, walking at work, and walking home I average about 30,000 steps every day. I usually hit 110-115 miles a week. It’s the lifestyle that I love!
That’s great! Awesome job!
Great
Absolutely love the short and straight to the point information!! Keep up the great content man!! 👍👌
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!
Me too.
And funny too!
Wow!!! I’m impressed. I love walking for so many benefits (time in nature, better sleep, stress relieve, creative thinking as I walk, exposure to natural light). I typically don’t get anywhere close to 30k steps a day but you’ve motivated me to bump up my regular walking time and distance. Great video!!!
I lost 70pounds in 6months walking 14miles a day..nothing too much strict diet.
And did 50 continous days of half marathon daily walk during this lockdown
Raman Choudhry did you work?
C B yeah 9-7.. found time to walk/run/slow jog though😊
DR 2020 thanks🙏🏽😊
I have been walking 45000 steps each day since last last 4 days and have lost .8kg till now. Walking is amazing lol even though my legs feel dead now😂
I am definitely inspired!
Imagine being a roman soldier, they where trained to walk 20 miles a day in full kit for weeks on end (50+ lb's) those guys must've had athlete level fitness. Excellent video.

Yeah youre right. But I'd rather be them than the opposing losing army
... yeah but have You ever seen a Roman statue , every one of them must've just crawled out of an ice bath
@@raylars752 is this is a good thing or Bad thing?
What do they carry in the kit ??
I am the same age as you and have always enjoyed walking. But Never thought it could make you taller by an inch! I am taking up this challenge! Great video!👍🏼
My doctor told me to walk 5Km/45minuts every day. Since then:
I lost a lot of weight!
Better digest!
Better sleep!
More active!
More focus!
More energy!
Less hungry!
Better bowling!
Before I was totally opposite of above as mentioned in details!
Good for you!
He is back, back again!!!
I really appreciate all of the detailed metrics shared and before and after comparisons. So many video creators don't do this and its frustrating because thats how you know if it was effective or not. I got a lot out of this video.
It’s not difficult..it’s just time-consuming
Give the guy credit big respect to him I say.
I have nothing to do all day so why not
It’s difficult on the feet. I am doing a leaflet job that averages about 35,000 steps a day. Someone’s the feet ache a lot.
Yes exactly. Easy but super time consuming.
@@PeteS_1994 Get one of these small massage balls.. It is THE best massage for your feet..
Great video. You have a very refreshing approach when compared to so many videos. It's concise informative and entertaining. You deserve more subs!
Thanks man, I’m glad you liked it. I appreciate you’re support!
He does for real, simple and tech fact languages
Great video! I wanna try something like that sometime soon too, and I think Will Tennyson has done some similar challenges as well, he did 25k(?) steps a day for a week and also did 100k steps in a day haha
Omg such a great idea!! I'll also do something like this after my uni exams next month!!
Inspirational!! Thanks for sharing bud 👍
I have to say your video footage editing for these challenges are beautifully well done. Thank you for not wasting our time with jibber jabber and irrelevant content. You gave a gift my friend.
Thank you!
Thank you!
@@SimpleManChannel You're very welcomed.
Great video! I started doing 10 miles/day in quarantine for the first 45 days. Then I couldn’t move for two days! Just super tight (did no stretching). I started stretching and ended up doing 13.5 mile average days for the last 30 something days. I haven’t quite reached 100 mile weeks but I’ve gotten close at around 94 mile weeks. It’s been challenging! I was feeling incredibly tired, more so than I realized possible. I haven’t been commuting to the office so that’s 2 hours a day I found and the gyms are closed so that’s 1.5 hours a day plus staying in the house all day is not something to look forward to lol. I also walked rain or shine which is more of a mental game then I realized. It’s been fun and challenging and needless to say I’m doing yoga now in order to keep the mileage up! Stay safe brother!
How much weigh did you lose? And did you gain any muscle mass? Thanks
Glad your back...keep them coming bro
Great video! this a great accomplishment. Well done man! really interesting stuff.
Great job man. I'm on my third week of 100 miles. It's great to see someone else go through this.
Nice! Good luck it’s time consuming!
@@SimpleManChannel You're absolutely right. I'm studying Spanish and made a point to only take my audio and video courses while walking. It's actually helped a ton. One of the few advantages of being a single guy. hahaha... *sob* lol
One day I’d like to just start walking early and see how far I can make it. It sounds like fun to me
@@SimpleManChannel Just coming back to update.
week 1 - 116 miles
week 2 - 106 miles
week 3 - 98.95 miles
week 4 - 96 miles
I didn't really intend for this to be a walking challenge so I didn't really have a starting weight. The last time I weighed myself was at the doctors right before lock down. I was 206 lbs and now I'm down to 193 lbs. Although, if I had to guess, I had put on at least 5 pounds during lock down. So lost somewhere in between 13-18 pounds which is a huge range I know. In between sizes right now but my old clothes have me looking like an early 2000s rapper.
@@RickyGarcia_Learning other then the weight loss are there any other side effects you experienced?
I’ve been walking 15000 a day for a week now, it’s easier than I thought. So it became routine and I love it.
Yes I started last week and I increased it to 20,000 this week, it's ideal for me, it's not easy but it won't kill me either 😄
Are you still walking
How long does it take ?
Of course its easy. It's just walking.
@@sandersson2813 true
I remember doing a challenge of walking 10 miles a day for 30 days back in the early 2ks, the author of the book claimed you could lose 8 pounds of fat in that time span without dieting. I did the whole 30 days, one day i would walk twelve miles other days eight, i just had to put in the miles by the end of the week. I lost exactly eight pounds and dropped an entire size from my waist area which was very noticeable for just losing 8 pounds, in the process sadly i developed plantar fasciitis despite changing foot inserts, sneakers ,etc.
Well done buddy, great video, it has inspired me.
In addition to walking, were you doing any other work out routines during this week? Great video! Thanks for sharing your results!
This a beautiful thing! Good for you Man
Thanks man!
Started the walk at home with Leslie Sansome, doing three miles (7,000 steps) a day for six days a week (taking Sundays off as day of rest) After just a month and a half, I went from 177 to 165 and feel terriflc with my blood pressure going to normal. It takes less than a hour each day. The hour I was wasting watching gossip TV in the mornings is now devoted to my walking. Been feeling happier and have more energy than ever. Mother Nature is amazing. No diet pills, no ozempic, just old fashioned sweat. Great video, and congratulations!
Awesome sir. Great work, thanks for sharing 🙏🏽. Keep rocking.
I love to walk, but recently started doing squats and things instead to try and tone up. I have noticed that I have backache and muscle spasms in my neck. I’m going back to the walking😊
How lucky you are,living in peaceful and beautiful place,love the location💕
I do approximately 45.3k steps per day for 5 days of the week at work since it requires me to walk overnight. Most people I work with can't do what I do, so I always get overtime, thus putting in more steps for the week. It's definitely a rewarding feeling when I get the day off, and most people would argue that I should quit, but honestly, I enjoy it. I can see most people will have a problem with it.
I totally get it! I average about 35k step a day mainly due to my job but I’d never change that! When it’s overtime season I can clock about 56k step in a day!
Your feet don't hurt?
This is awesome we are posting a similar video tomorrow, thanks for the fitspo
Walking has great effects on overall body.I also started in march walk from 8km to 10 km, now loosing weight also n gaining energy n muscle mass. On average doing 5k steps as fasting month is here..
But aiming to reach more that this 10k steps. Thanks to show 30k steps in a day can be possible. Motivated by ur video to walk more.
Just subed
“I even lost my little toenail” I just wasn’t expecting him to say that
Thanks for this, Simple Man!
CONGRATULATIONS For doing this. Thanks it wss encouraging. There is truly always a way. Even being home...: )
I love walking. I started over a year ago for weight loss, but now it's like an addiction and I literally plan my days AROUND my walks. I think it's the best cardio you can do, honestly. 7 - 12 miles daily for me!
Doesn't walking get boring to you?
@@Livetoeat171 Yes it did, I don't walk much anymore and picked up cycling back in February.
Walking isn’t boring..You just need to change the mindset and find different paths to walk on
If you walk the same exact route all the time, then yes it could get boring.
This is why you get an under the desk treadmill so you can do other stuff at the same time
@@jimbojimbo6873 haha fr, but update I don't walk anymore because I picked up cycling
I challenged myself to walk less than 100 steps per day during quarantine for 9 months straight, and I fully completed this personal challenge averaging 92 steps/day. It was really quite easy with the only real set back coming in the 3rd month when I accidentally walked 126 steps one day when I had trouble parking by the front door of Church’s fried chicken.
Admirable.
😂😂😂
i tired this but blew out on day one...from the couch to the beer fridge and return is 26 steps...went way over after only 4 beers and still had 20 to go....thinking of installing one of those stair lift contraptions, but for the couch/fridge route
@@Ulbre Great idea
E L That is FUNNY
Hi I'm Bec (not Adam) thankyou for making this video. Nothing has motivated me to exercise until now, (I'm 47 and 150lbs) I watched this 2 weeks ago and now I have been walking everyday chasing the 'walkers high' you mentioned.
... Feeling so much better already with life so thankyou again.
That’s great! I hope you are able to make it a habit for you! Good luck!
I walked half marathon everyday for 15-16 months. Lost 70pounds (really bad diet and general self-control). Now, i walk 25000 steps a day and just love the exercise. Yes, it is time consuming but you have to make schedule.
nice video - interesting results - i've heard that the spine can contract/expand up to two inches so you have room to grow!!
5-7 miles a day every day will work wonders. Actually in Japan most people walk on average 10 miles per day. 35 is a good age.
It does, just have to make the extra effort and get the mindset to get it done! Thanks for watching
I know in Japan people are more concerned about there health. In Belgium we're happy when we get are 10000 steps done. Even that is for most people to much to do every but I try and it helps making me feel better!
えー??５キロぐらいですよ外人さん(笑)
Great video!!! Congratulations!!!!
I did about 100+ miles a week for several months during the lockdowns. Lost 20+ KGs without changing my eating habbits. These days, I do about 75 miles a week when all goes well. Even with it rains or storms I go out.
I agree about a walking high! I walk 15,500 steps a day (7.5 miles for me), and I love it! 66 years young also!
This is my usual experience at Disneyland. 14 miles per day, 5 days in a row. I always lose 3-5 lbs each trip. I’m only 4’11”, so I’ll check again after my next trip to see if I’m finally 5’ tall!!! 😄
this channel is great man
Thanks man!
@@SimpleManChannel on the app I'm using I did 17000 but burned 720 calories
I'll hit just over 100 miles this week, most weeks I hit 75 miles plus ,I am 60 years old ,exercise is good for you
Love the intro. Forrest gump style 👊
Haha, I’m glad you liked it. I was worried the movie was so old no one would get it.

Another great video! You inspired me to do my first challenge video doing 300 sit-ups a day & I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks!! Thanks Simple Man!
That’s great man, keep it up!
I work at Walmart and the first 7 days I walked 75 miles on the clock.. Last week, I walked 14.88 miles one day and 14.55 miles the next day.. I'm 50 years old and weigh roughly 180.. I lost 6 lbs in the first week just by walking alone.. Extreme sore legs just about every day.. It takes ibuprofin in the morning and plenty of rest to get my body ready for the next day..This is NOT just walking either.. This is also unloading the truck which averages 2000 to 2800 pieces per truck.. We are usually short handed and there are heavy items on every truck that has to be lifted and put on the rollers to be set on the pallets and ran out to the floor.. Just running ON the truck itself back and forth I can average 7 miles from staert to complete truck unloading.. Then it's off to the floor to put up items on the floors..
W👀W!!!.....I walk 10,000-13000 steps 5 days a week & that takes me two hours & is stressful on my body so I can’t even imagine walking that much!! Excellent !!!! I’m impressed & thank you so very much. 😃❤️
Rain shouldn't have stopped you from getting your outside walk. I find rain doesn't bother me at all unless it's windy. For outside exercise, I find wind to be the only real constraint, unless it's just pouring down rain or a blizzard. Today, I did an 8 miles forest trail (and a four mile walk to get to the trail) in the rain here in New York. Sure, I got wet, but it was OK. Just took a nice hot shower when I got home.

I’ve watched this before, it popped up so I watched again. Let’s just say re-motivated!
Hello. Watching now -very interesting -thumbs up like and subscribing. Found you on search for walking 30,000 steps -experience of other people.
Beginning of your video so funny. Reading what the experience is of walking long distance-working on this now. Walking over 100 miles in one week is great !
Since 2015 I have walked on average 15,000 steps per day and not changed my diet. originally it was all at sea level later at altitude. Over that period I went from 106 kgs down to 84 kgs and it’s now settled at 88kgs . I am just under 6 feet 2 and now 60 years old . The biggest weight loss was at the very beginning. I also had a long standing knee injury which I got skiing and it didn’t really stop me . Frozen veg when I stopped . My tip is get up early and do it first thing . Originally I lived in a very hot place so I started at 6.00 am everyday
I got a walking under desk treadmill about 7 weeks ago. I have averaged about 75 miles per week for 7 weeks now. I have lost about 16 pounds (from 194 to 178). My height started at 5'11" and I assume it is still the same. I realize that a treadmill walk at perfectly level ground is not the same as a "real world" walk so I wouldn't equate the 75 miles per week as the same as 75% of your 100 mile week, but it's a good fraction nonetheless. And I've been able to do it for 7 weeks now. I am not entirely sure it is sustainable because I have started to develop a sore achilles tendon in one foot, I might not be able to do this pace indefinitely, or maybe my body will catch up. I'm hoping for the latter.
I just subscribed to your channel after watching this video. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you, I appreciate it
You make very simple video and it is your speciality .....love it
Thanks man, that’s always my goal, I’m glad you liked them!
You should try the 'Four days march' in the Netherlands. 200 km in Four days, thousands walk it.
One day would be great to walk this Santiago de Compostela route, apparently the scenery is quite beautiful and people you meet along the way hospitable and friendly.
Flat as a witches tit though
I went to SoCal for a vacation and used walking as my primary mode of transport around the town, sightseeing. I did a little over 50 miles in 3.5 days. Considering I’m mostly sedentary at other times, I was wondering if I’ll be too tired or in pain. But surprisingly I was completely alright at end of each day. But then, I came back to my town and went back to being a couch potato, doing 500 steps a day 😔
Great video, I enjoyed it. Walking is great. You should try it with a weighted vest and see if there is a big difference
Great video! Thanks for sharing
love the fact that US has such long empty roads and parks for long walks... because i love walking since childhood.... not every place is tbe sane 😭😭
Why don't you work in village I m also from India but live in rural area where you can walk easil
“But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more...”🎤
Just to be the man who walk a thousand miles....

This is the song I sang to myself when I needed to encourage myself to keep going when I walked the 500 miles of the Camino in 33 days in 2016.
YOU ARE LEGEND!!!!!
You are incredible, man
Try walking 100 miles within 24 hours, that's called a Centurion race. I completed one a few years back in little over 23 hours.
I walk on average 3.000 km a year, greetz from the Netherlands.
Perfect
That's incredible. I feel I have to try it now!
Please recommend a pair of blister free shoes at reasonable price.
Km or miles?
So what..That's not sustainable. What this guy is doing is. It's just not a competition ok.
I hike 5 miles a day avg some weeks I do 10
And I've never had a better pair of boots than meurrel
I've been wearing the same pair for 9 months
They're holding up great
Way to go! Try walking a Camino in Spain. Many people, including myself, have walked 500 miles across Spain. It took me 35 days, an average of 15 miles a day.
That's the spirit man 👍
I started walking recently. My mid back is to tight. Stretching it doesn't really work but the good news is that I might be getting taller as a result.
Lol this guy is crazy awesome love it !🤣
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Well done 🙌
Great video! You're awesome!
My heart rate is always on the high end but my blood pressure is low. Odd. Good for you on your challenge.
Same here
To all the walkers on the comments, what do you do while walking? I listen sometimes audio books, but recently i am using the time to memorize information, i just memorized all states and capitals of USA and México, another project is to learn basic french while walking with my wife. So any other suggestions? Last point, while walking with my wife we have great talks about many things and it is the time we organize stuff like vacations 👍🏼😃
I walk with my wife most of the time and it’s a great time to bond. When I’m by myself I usually listen to podcast about Bitcoin lol
I enjoy the scenery
Awesome feat, that takes some true dedication! Perhaps you could lower your heart rate at rest even further by adding some high intensity training? Im older (43yrs) but we are the same height, with same calf size and both exercise a lot. My resting heart rate is 38 and maximum 200. By walking quickly without incline I can only increase it to 110 or so, so I usually run, lift weights or box before walking. Did you find your Jenny? :)
Wow! Great job.
1:15 You know you don’t shrink in a little rain right? 😅😂 Thank you for this video! 😁
Working for Royal Mail in the UK I have been doing over 100 miles a week for months now and I don't seem to suffer much apart from the occasional blister. I love how much fitter I am now.
Have you noticed weight loss and feeling better since you first started?
Awesome video!
Did you really grow an inch in height??
I'm 19 and I feel so short but no matter what I do, I cant seem to grow tall... I just hope this will work for me!
I have been doing this! Though living in the UK (Cotswolds) rain is kind of standard. I walk in the rain....
In the Spring of 2015 , aged 69, I walked from my house in south London to the top left hand corner of Spain.
I walked to Canterbury then the port of Newhaven.
Boat to Dieppe in France.
Then to Paris, Chartres, Tours, Poitiers, Bordeaux and eventually the Spanish border. Then over the Pyrenees and along the trail to Santiago de Compostela.
2,500 kms,
1,500 miles,
4 months..
Brilliant, not one bad day.
That’s great! I’d like to do something similar someday myself
Where in south London bud?
That is so impressive!☺️
Thank you Adam. Western Dulwich,
Last summer, I decided to try to walk 300 km (186.5 miles) in one week, not because I wanted to lose weight (I’m already very skinny), but because I wanted a challenge. I ended up walking 306.8 km, which turned out to give an average of about 53000 steps every day.
The pain in my feet was insane. I don’t think I’ve felt that much pain in my entire life. I should emphasize that I didn’t prepare for the challenge in any way, but just jumped right into it. During the last 2 days, my knees also started to really hurt. Every single day got harder and harder, and I was only able to complete the challenge out of pure determination.
Nowadays, when I here someone complain that their feet hurts, I’m always thinking ”Oh no, you don’t know what real pain in your feet is like” xD.
I don’t think I’ll ever do it again, but I am nevertheless happy that I completed it :)
53000 a day?? wow thats insane! How many hours did it take you to get to them? Would you mind if I asked how much weight you managed to lose at the end of the challenge?
Did your feet and knees recover from the challenge?
It’s not that difficult if you have good walking shoes and good stamina
Because of this video I was motivated to get up and do this challenge myself and man this was so hard 😩 I just posted my journey on my channel! Thank you for the motivation 🙏🏽
But how, my video came out six days ago and yours was a 30 days challenge video, doesn’t seem like there was nearly enough time...
Simple Man I did the challenge but I felt like yours was executed much better 😂 I decided to do the challenge over and re-record.
I was just playing with you 😀 Anyways congrats on your accomplishment, it takes a lot of work, great job!
