Walking is Life 🚶♂️ 🚶♀️
I believe the pain in my legs is due to my intense walking the past months. I’ve been excessively stressed since June, and I’ve been walking either six or seven days of the week for about an hour. I’ve decided to reduce it since it’s unbearable and I finally managed to return to the gym yesterday; I wanted to get back to the gym even though it’s not pure strength training, it’s something in between. I may feel sore today but trust me, I’m more than pleased. Plus, yesterday I slept like a baby :).
That’s awesome!! 💪🏻
But what if you move running 😢 I love running and don’t want to give it up
You definitely don’t have to give it up! Balancing running with adequate protein and some resistance training can be very helpful!
Can we prevent muscle loss due to running by consuming enough protein?
Protein can help, but adding in resistance training as well provides more of the muscle sparing stimulus. I like to find a balance between cardio, resistance training and eating enough nutrients/protein.
When I run regularly my legs and glutes become solid muscle.
Is running everyday recommended for lean PCOS?
Great video! 💓 watching the next one you suggested, thanks Autumn 😻
A very nice job, Autumn!❤❤
Every one’s body is different
Remember what ever makes you feel good that’s what it matters
Any type of exercises is good for you
All you need is to listening to your body physically and mentally
This is all to advert and to sell electrolytes
No one needs to spend money on this
Our food has all the right ingredients to give us energy 💃🏻
All in moderation. 👌
Walk
Swim
Dog walk etc ….
What ever you enjoy it !
Never was a runner. Walking is key, it’s helped me lose so much weight doing your program, plus I listen to your videos while doing it. It’s a win-win to lose #s and feel good again. Thank you Autumn.👍❤️🇨🇦
Please do videos on AFFORDABLE food choices. It seems everything you propose is geared to the affluent.
Hi! A few months ago I shared a “what I spend in a month on groceries” video, which breaks down how I budget for groceries. I also shared a video on the food I never buy organic, which you might find useful. Ive also shared a video on my Costco grocery haul. You can find all here:

Healthy food is expensive . It’s your body, your life. Only you can decide what’s important. .
If you can’t buy the “extras” you find online, just stay away from all fast food, seed oils and sugar. Just that, will save you money and improve your health.
I found I got more Injuries from running. Power walking is the one exercise I have been able to keep up for over 25 years… pain free
What you say in this video I have found to hold true for me. I discovered running at age 12 and still love it now at age 54. However, the rise in cortisol elicited by running is very apparent and increases my anxiety levels. I mostly walk now but include short bouts of running, 1-2 mile stretches, throughout my long walks. I also do strength training and consume 75 grams of protein daily (weight 112 lbs). You are very knowledgeable, Autumn. I enjoy your videos very much. ❤
Dang u annorexic
@Sjar Menace Nope – normal body weight for my height – absolutely not anorexic. Comments like that are not necessary and could be triggering for some.
Yes yes yes. All of this. I will never be a runner. Walker for life haha
🌞 Walking is great! I love going on long walks! Thanks, Autumn! ⚘️
Cheers! ☕️🕊❤️
Agreed!❤️
Running is galaxies better at relieving anxiety than walking is. Walking doesn’t relieve my anxiety at all, in fact it increases it so much sometimes that I have to stop and sit down, or run to relieve it. My experience is not unusual.
This is a bad take IMO. Causation and correlation are being confused, IMO. Running and lifting is optimal for most every human. You need both, but humans were born to run. It’s the most natural function of a human. Look at our anatomy compared to other animals. Long legs (look at a chimp by comparison). Better endurance than almost any other land animal. Ability to sweat to cool our bodies. etc.
I have started trail running after years of not running. I only run 2 days a week and trail running is super chill lots of walking breaks and it’s slower pace, that paired with being in the woods hasn’t affected my cortisol or periods at all like road running did. I also include weight training and Pilates other days
FACTS!!!!!!! Thanks to you videos I am down 76 lbs since February 13th. Also my blood sugar was 84 yesterday 84!!!!! I haven’t seen that number in years…
Could you make a video about fake sugar like sugar free Starbucks drinks.
I’m skeptical I think it affects me a lot more than I know. Is munk fruit sweetener okay?
Well basically just a video on fake sweeteners and how they affect us sugar free syrup’s and more
But I love running! 😭😭😭 It’s true that running doesn’t make you strong. It DOES make you happy though, lol. I can’t seem to quit it yet.
Don’t quit if you love it. ❤ I love running too and will continue
