Could you elaborate on the walking part?

There are a bunch of studies showing various risks dropping with daily walking.

fitbit like device manufacturers have pushed various numbers, but studies seem lately seem to be floating in the 9k steps a day region as to where the benefits stop

I lost 84lbs over the last year walking 3 miles every day and changing my diet. It takes me about 45 minutes to walk 3 miles. The walk also helps me to burn through my thoughts/feelings.

I eat a lot of healthy stuff now like porridge, vegetables and fruit. My dinners haven't really changed. Like a child I have ice cream every night. A fancy dessert once or twice a week. I don't eat after dinner.

Experience has taught me you don't have to train like Rocky if you want to get fit. You train like Rocky if your job involves people trying to beat you up.
