Beyond the Treadmill: How Amazon Walks Can Fuel Your Fitness Fire

- December 29, 2023

Jenny: "So I wanna build muscle but I work at Amazon 3 days a week. In one shift I walk 7 miles and obviously 14 on a double. Can I still build muscle if I walk that much? Please let me know"

Hey Jenny!

So, you're walking miles at Amazon like it's a marathon every shift, and you're wondering if those strollin' miles can still make you JACKED. Well, buckle up because we're about to debunk the myth that muscles only come from lifting weights.

WALKING! Yes, you heard me right. Those casual strolls around Amazon are doing more than just delivering packages; they're delivering gains, my friend! Walking, especially the kind you're doing, hits those slow-twitch muscle fibers. It's like giving your muscles a chill workout, a warm-up before they hit the weights.¹

But hold your excitement; we're not stopping there! While walking is flexing those muscles, if you want them to scream

"I'M HERE,"

you might wanna toss in some STRENGTH TRAINING. Picture this: walking sets the stage, and strength training is the headliner. Lift those weights, do some squats, and make those muscles pop!²

Now, here's the deal – walking won't turn you into the Hulk overnight, but it's laying the foundation. It's like the tortoise in the race against the hare. Slow and steady, but oh-so-effective.³

But let's get real – you're not just walking; you're practically doing a workout shift at Amazon! If you want muscles that scream

"I EAT 7-MILE WALKS FOR BREAKFAST,"

throw in some PROTEIN. It's like the secret sauce for muscle growth. Chicken, eggs, protein shakes – get that muscle buffet going!²

And of course, a quick nod to the experts: Walking does break down some muscles, but if you're aiming for those Hollywood superhero muscles, you might wanna spice things up with weights². Remember, CONSISTENCY is your wingman. Walk, lift, repeat.

Now, let's dive into the good book. Ever heard of GIDEON? Yeah, the dude who turned a small army into a powerhouse. Your muscles might feel outnumbered now, but with consistency, they'll conquer! So here's a verse for your fitness journey:
