It can be time consuming due to the sheer length and duration, but I have found fat falling off in the places I have most issues (lower abdomen, chest, and back). It’s free, it’s super chill, and I have found it clearing my mind too. In combination with more intense regime, I think it is a a necessary supplemental exercise. I think walking outside is probably better (it feels more natural to me at least), but just a plain ol’ treadmill or other cardio machine will probably get those steps up. Its super low-impact, easy, and do-able.

I’m dropping weight and I’m finding my brain rebooting in some places as well. It’s overall super great and I encourage every Hexbear to increase their step count.

    Yeah. I’ve personally found the same to work. I’d normally throw an 80LB weight vest on because it increases the calorie burn but since I was just walking didn’t increase the effort much. Ofc, pick the weight based on your build otherwise it’s gonna be hard on your knees.

    Taking a 10,000 step walk obviously helps with weight loss. Around 3,000 steps is 2 miles and 10,000 steps is a 7 mile walk.
