The 10K Step Myth | Why Progressive Walking Equals Weight Loss

If you’ve been walking every day and still not losing weight, this episode is for you. Fitness expert Chalene Johnson reveals the truth about the 10,000 steps a day myth and why walking more doesn’t always mean burning more fat. She shares how her own weight loss stalled at 20,000 steps a day, what causes walking plateaus, and how to fix them with smart strategies that actually work. You’ll learn how to break through stubborn weight loss, balance hormones, and boost results using science-backed tweaks like interval walking, weighted vests, and terrain changes—without stress, obsession, or burnout.
