Hi Friend,
Let me introduce you to “the miracle exercise.” But before I do, let me first reveal some of the positive benefits this miracle movement will bestow on you:- Banish body fat
- Boost blood flow
- Improve sex performance
- Slash heart disease
- Better brain function
- Deeper sleep
- Reduce death risk.
Sounds impressive, huh?
Now ask yourself: if this were the latest whizz-bang supplement, how much would you expect to pay for it? Big bucks, I imagine. Yet here's the thing… all these benefits can be yours absolutely FREE!
Yep. That's right. Simply practice the following miracle exercise every day and you will be amazed by the results.
So what's the miracle movement I'm talking about?
Daily walking.
Now, if you're like most folks, there's a good chance your eyes glazed over when you read that last part. After all, walking isn't very hardcore, is it? Also, isn't daily walking supposed to be dull?
Well, I thought the same thing, too. Yet the following research findings might just help change your mind like they changed mine.
10,000 Steps to Success
Measurements of daily walking routines began way back in the early 1970s. From different experiments, the guys in the lab coats found something really cool - in those cultures where the residents regularly walked, there were much lower rates of obesity, less heart disease and a healthier more positive outlook on life.
Top of the daily walking table are the Australians and Swiss who average almost 10,000 steps. Not far behind, are the Japanese who perform 7,000. And where do Americans feature on this list? Sadly, they struggle to average a lowly 5,000 steps (and in many cases, much less).
Scientists believe these numbers are a major reason why countries like Japan, Australia and Switzerland have dramatically lower obesity rates than the US (Americans are over twice as likely to be overweight). Not only do these other countries eat less junk food, but they achieve more exercise on a daily basis.
More studies show 10,000 steps is the magic number to shoot for. But even 5,000 steps (about 30 minutes walking per day) has been shown to make significant and startling changes.
Harvard University recently did an analysis of all the findings from nearly 500,000 participants over the past 40 years. What did they discover? People who walk regularly slashed their chances of coronary events by a whopping 31%, and their chance of death decreased by a jaw-dropping 32%.
Those are darned impressive numbers. And the cost to you? Just 5,000 steps a day.
But hang on… what does any of this have to do with muscle building?
A lot, as it happens.
You see, because daily walking positively impacts your health, it also helps benefit your weight training. Like we often say on our site: "All boats rise with the tide."
So am I saying this positive impact can be felt in the gym too? Yes. Most definitely. And the best part? These life-changing benefits won’t cost you a dime.
Now make sure to tune in next week, where I’ll show you some simple daily walking hacks to painlessly boost your step count.
Until then,
Squat for Glory!
