Summary

In one of the most transformative episodes of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Mark Sisson, founder of Primal and author of Born to Walk. Together, they debunk the myths surrounding fitness, endurance running, and calorie burning, uncovering why walking is the ultimate form of movement for health, longevity, and happiness. Mark shares eye-opening insights about how running can actually hinder weight loss, lead to injury, and suppress the immune system, while walking stimulates fat metabolism, strengthens the kinetic chain, and even reduces the risk of dementia by 40%. This conversation challenges the "no pain, no gain" mindset and gives listeners permission to embrace walking as the most efficient, sustainable, and joyful way to stay active. Mark also dives into the science of barefoot movement, the surprising impact of minimalist shoes, and the power of sprinting for fat reduction and fitness. From his inspiring personal journey as a former marathon runner to his recovery from hip replacement through walking, Mark offers practical advice for integrating movement into daily life. This episode will reshape the way you think about fitness and leave you ready to lace up your shoes—or take them off—and reclaim your health, one step at a time. ** Get your copy of Born to Walk here Learn more about Mark here Learn more about Peluva barefoot shoes here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
