  2. I finally saw a video pop up that I want to watch. I can walk! Some time next year I will have a bit more time to get in a daily long walk. And I like that you look like a REAL person. You look healthy, attractive but not like someone who has had a gazillion procedures to pretend they are 10+ years younger. Thanks for the info and the inspiration.

  3. Rachel,
    My husband just got me new very Cushing running shoes actually, I TOO WILL GET BACK TO WALKING ‘DAILY’ again.❤
    Ladies please walk with some kind of protection TO EASILY USE~QUICKLY STAY
    PRE~Pared.
    Thank you Rachel!

  4. Hi! Just found you 💙 you have a new subscriber 🎉 going to look for ahhh tennis shoes and try to do my walking at the same time every day.. I am 68 years old and take care of my 94 year old loving father … so I walk on my treadmill. I was able to cut my sugar addiction 🙏🏻 which I feel very proud of. Going to watch your videos 🤗 you look awesome!

  5. Just got walking pad, to add to the rebounder.. Years ago, I began walking on a treadmill, for 1 hour a day. Within 6 weeks, I had lost 20 pounds.. that was 30 years ago, and 30 pounds added back… not expecting the same results, but making a stab at it!

  6. Great job!
    This 63 yr old grandma down 26 lbs in 4 months after walking daily for 60 minutes.
    Hgb A1C from 7.1 to 6.3.
    I love walking my same route. I pray as I walk, enjoy everything around me.

    route .
    Life is good!

  7. Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your tips around walking and the activities that have been made possible because of your dedication to walking. This is just what I needed to remind myself how much I enjoy walking and the lessons my mom instilled in me around walking and healty eating. I turned 65 about a month ago and my dog went to heaven shortly after. Without my buddy giving me a reason to walk, I’ve become lackadaisical. This video is an excellent reminder of the many benefits of movement and has encouraged me to get out and shake off what’s been holding me back. Many thanks!! ❤️🙏☮️😎

  8. Is walking with a weighted vest something you would recommend or have tried? What are your thoughts on a weighted vest? Thank you and congratulations!!

  9. Rachel thank you for this wonderfully inspiring video. Do you have any suggestions for rainy or snowy weather? I would still like to walk but find I don't have the right footwear/gear etc.

  10. Due to a health issue, I started walking just 10 minutes first thing in the morning plus eating a 1400 calorie, high protein, high fiber diet. My walks quickly went to 30 minutes and I lost 10 lbs. Then I got a respiratory virus. I'm still trying to get my energy back. My walks have not resumed yet and I have gained back 5 lbs. I'm 79. I realize I have to be patient. My strength is increasing. Hoping my walks resume soon. Diet and exercise were doing it for me.
