Is My Daily Walking Routine Healthy for a 69-Year-Old Teetotaller?

Ans: That’s impressive.
Yes, please reduce your steps to about 8000 and your exercise to about 20 minutes and see the difference. With age, most of the times, less is more as long as you are doing physical movements throughout the day.

Ans: Walking mindfully is not about walking these many steps.
It is about how, many steps you took while you inhaled and how many steps, you took while you exhale
Fix the distance, and walk with this awareness, maintaining the steps with your breath

Ans: Thank you for asking, good to hear that inspite of your age you walk daily one hour. I do believe this is alright as long it is not causing any distress to you or make you feel uncomfortable. Please do regularly visit Physician to check your vitals and routine examination considering your age.

Ans: Dear Mr. Madhusudan. Thank you for your question. It's great to hear that you're committed to your health by walking 40 minutes every morning. To enhance your weight loss efforts, I recommend incorporating resistance training into your routine in addition to your regular walking. While walking is beneficial for cardiovascular health, resistance training is more effective for burning calories, building muscle, and improving overall fitness. Apart from this aim to create a calorie deficit by consuming fewer calories than you burn, which is crucial for weight loss. Include high-quality protein sources in your diet, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, and low-fat dairy. Protein helps in maintaining muscle mass and keeps you full longer.
