YouTube Walking Programmes?

When you see subscribe on a video it doesnt mean you pay.
This video will explain.

I do Lesley sansome walking, I like her, she does rattle on but very upbeat…boosts up my steps , especially when it’s pouring down I don’t go for a long walk so much….she walks a mile, 2 miles, 3 or more….see what time I have.

Another vote for Lesley Sansome here; I enjoy the variety of distances and exercises on offer. No subscription necessary but you can subscribe for a monthly plan if you want.

petra I know that. What I meant is there are walking apps out there which require you to sign up and pay before you can commence the programme (nothing to do with YouTube)

Thank you ! I will look at Lesley Sansome 👍

There’s also Get fit with Rick but personally I prefer Lesley Sansone.

Lesley Sansome for me too 👍

There are lots. I’ve seen one called Ta’i Walking quite a lot. To be honest most of them look a bit dodgy and use AI quite a bit instead of real people.

I've been trying Don Fiore's Tai Chi and Chi Gong videos as I've been having a lot of back pain recently.
They're very gentle but I can certainly feel the difference.
He explains the moves well, the music is relaxing and the scenery is lovely 🙂
You can do the moves seated if you prefer.

I've followed Leslie Sansone for a long time, but fancied a change.

Absolutely! You don't need to pay for a subscription to get a good workout. There are plenty of free indoor walking videos on YouTube that are ideal for beginners.

At 65, I'd suggest aiming for a 20-30 minute walk most days of the week. After your walk, add a few simple strength exercises like chair squats, wall push-ups, and standing calf raises (2 sets of 8-12 reps). Those will help maintain muscle, improve balance, and make everyday activities easier.

My biggest tip is not to worry about finding the "perfect" program- consistency beats perfection every time. And remember, we're exercising to feel better, not auditioning for Strictly Come Dancing!

Best of luck- you've got this!

While walking is good it doesn’t really help with weight loss so if that is your main reason you will probably be disappointed unless you incorporate this with a change in diet.
If you are able to get out most councils do free health walks which are not too demanding and are a pleasant way to get some exercise snd meet people.
Good luck,
