    How much walking is too much walking?

    Lately I’ve been walking for 2-2.5 hours because it’s legit the best for mental relaxation. I have a break until my next semester at nursing school, and have gotten addicted to listening to podcasts. 🤣 Today I hit 8.9 miles but usually it’s more like 7-7.5 miles, 6-7 days per week.

    I’ve been 16:8 fasting for the last few weeks and historically I always lose weight very easily when fasting. However, I work out at 8am and don’t end up eating my first meal until 12:00/13:00. Is this going to be an issue or that I’m not taking advantage of the anabolic window after resistance...

    If I train a muscle every 4 days I’m sore for 2-3 days after. If I train a muscle once a week I’m sore for 5-6 days after. Anyone else like this?

I like training a muscle every 4 days so I’m not as sore, but I’m getting old (43) and I lift heavy weights and it’s taking it’s toll on me. About to switch to doing a muscle once a week to give...
