Craig Benzine has taken on all kinds of month-long challenges before, including giving up caffeine, sugar, and alcohol to see what kind of effect it has on his health. In a new video, he commits to doing more physical activity each day: specifically, walking 20,000 steps. “I work at home, I edit video. If I don’t actively seek out ways to be active, I’m just not going to be,” he says.
The first thing he realized, just a day or two into the challenge, is exactly how long it takes to cover 20,000 steps worth of walking. “Four hours of walking really cuts into your day, doesn’t it,” he says. “The morning is the best, because it’s not so hot yet.”
Benzine weighed in at 177 pounds to begin with, and gained 2 pounds in those early days, which he puts down to his body retaining water as it adjusts to his new exercise regime. And it was not long before he then started to notice some non-physical, mindful benefits to his new habit.
