Walk 10,000 Steps a Day

 What Happens When You Walk 10,000 Steps a Day? | Real Benefits Backed by Science Walking may seem simple, but walking 10,000 steps a day can be a game-changer for your fat loss, skeletal health, and overall well-being. In this post (and video), I’ll break down what happens to your body, why it works, and what science says about hitting that golden number — 10,000 steps. 🔥 1. Fat Loss Without the Stress Let’s start with the obvious: fat loss. Walking 10,000 steps a day helps burn calories consistently, and unlike high-intensity workouts, it doesn't spike your cortisol or leave you drained.     According to a study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, walking 10,000 steps can burn around 300–500 calories per day depending on your weight, pace, and terrain.     That’s over 3,500 calories a week — enough to help you lose roughly half a kilogram (1 lb) of fat per week without dieting aggressively. What makes walking even more effective is that ...

How Many Times a Week Should You Be Going to the Gym?

When starting or optimizing your fitness journey, one of the most common questions is: “How often should I be going to the gym?” The answer depends on your goals, lifestyle, and recovery needs—but for most people, the sweet spot is 3 to 5 days per week, with 4 days being one of the most sustainable and effective options for long-term results. Why 4 Days a Week Is a Great Schedule Training four days a week offers the perfect balance between progressive overload (challenging your body enough to grow stronger) and adequate recovery (which is essential for muscle repair, hormonal balance, and mental focus). A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that training muscle groups twice per week produced superior hypertrophy (muscle growth) compared to once per week. With a 4-day split, you can easily hit each muscle group twice with enough rest in between. Sample 4-Day Split That Works You can structure your 4-day schedule in a way that suits your week. Here...

Do You Need Supplements When Starting Your Fitness Journey?

When beginning your fitness journey, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the flood of products promising rapid results—protein powders, pre-workouts, fat burners, creatine, BCAAs, and the list goes on. But here’s a truth that often gets buried under flashy labels and influencer ads:     You don’t need supplements when you’re just starting out. Build the Foundation First Your body is an incredible machine. In the early stages of training, your progress will come quickly—just by showing up, moving consistently, and fueling your body with whole, balanced meals. This is often referred to as “newbie gains,” and it’s a phase where your body responds well to minimal stimulus. Before you consider adding supplements, focus on:     Proper Form & Technique: Learn how to perform exercises correctly to avoid injury and ensure maximum benefit.     Progressive Overload: Increase the intensity of your workouts over time—more reps, more weight, better control.    ...

How to Keep Going on the Days You Don’t Feel Like It

How to Keep Going on the Days You Don’t Feel Like It We all have those days—the ones where your body feels tired, your mind is heavy, and the thought of working out feels overwhelming. On those days, the question becomes: How do you show up for yourself, even when you don’t feel up to it? Here’s the simple answer: Just try your absolute best to get to the gym door. That’s it. The moment you arrive, you’ve already increased your chances of following through by 100%. Showing up is the real victory. Even if your energy is low, even if you don’t do your full routine—just being there means you’ve already succeeded in not giving up. Every bit of effort adds up. Think about it: 15 minutes of movement, done 4 times, becomes a whole hour. That’s an hour more than someone who stayed home and talked themselves out of it. So on those difficult days, don’t pressure yourself to be perfect—just commit to getting out the door. That one action might be all you need to turn your day around. Remember, it...

Getting Started: The Hardest Yet Most Important Step

Starting your fitness journey can be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do—but it’s also one of the most powerful. The truth is, it takes time. But the moment you decide to start, you’ve already taken a significant step toward your goal. Let’s talk about goals. Yes, having a goal is essential—but your goal must be flexible and adaptable. Often, when someone starts their fitness journey, it's inspired by someone else. You see their transformation and think, “I want to look like that.” And while there’s nothing wrong with having a visual goal, it becomes a problem if that goal is rigid. If you don’t reach it quickly, you may lose motivation. But if your goal is flexible, you’ll be able to adapt as you begin to understand your own body better. Learning Your Body Understanding your body is key. Our bodies are different, and how we respond to training and nutrition will vary. In fitness, body types are generally classified into three categories based on skeletal structure, muscle mas...
