Episode Details

If your brain has been screaming for sugar, caffeine, a nap, or all three… this 10-minute guided walking workout helps you get over that slump. It’s a brisk walk designed to wake your body back up, loosen up all that desk-chair stiffness, and help you feel better and more focused. 

This quick walking break helps you:

• Get a real energy boost. Yay! The “I need sugar immediately” feeling sometimes just means your body needs movement, oxygen, and a break from sitting like a pretzel for six hours
• Loosen up stiff hips, tight shoulders, and sleepy glutes (and mine are super sleepy)
• A NEAT boost: Tiny movement breaks (or “exercise snacks”) throughout the day matter for your energy, metabolism, and health
• Get in about 1200 steps without noticing

You can do this walk outside, or indoors on a treadmill or walking pad.

And because I cannot stay on topic, I also…

• Wrote you a dramatic poem about sugar (not very good, but it’s the thought that counts)
• Make fun of myself back when I was a fitness instructor who could not stand up straight
• Gush about a five-week-old rescue kitten who is trying to figure out how legs work
• Tell you a story of my aunt and I doing a full Lucy-and-Ethel bit after a long flight to Norway with a runaway luggage cart

This is a podcast you can walk to with background music to help keep your pace, plus breathing reminders, posture resets, and shoulder tension relief along the way. 

If you need:

• a quick walking workout
• more energy
• a mood boost
• relief from sitting too long

…lace up your shoes and come for a walk. 

Tap Follow so the next walk is waiting for you.
