Ep 10: Perfect Your Walking Form with STEPS

Tuesday Aug 08, 2023

Tuesday Aug 08, 2023

I talk about how to perfect your walking form with STEPS and why walking good form is essential, and I’ll give you my STEPS acronym you can easily remember that will give you the perfect walking form.

The proper walking form is vital to your health and fitness. You’ll walk with less effort, breathe more deeply to take more oxygen into your respiratory system and reduce your risk of injury.

Walking speed is a powerful indicator of vitality: Walking speed studies show that a person's pace, along with their age and gender, can predict their life expectancy just as well as the complex battery of other health indicators, such as blood pressure, body mass index, chronic conditions, and smoking history.

Good walking form will also allow you to walk faster.

Tuesday Jul 25, 2023

Tuesday Jul 25, 2023

In this episode, we discuss 10 Ways to Hold Yourself Accountable to use walking as a way to get in shape and stay in shape.  Continue listening so you can easily learn and implement these accountability actions.

You will experience these five benefits by holding yourself accountable:

  1. Greater self-awareness. You’ll have an easier time finding patience with yourself, feeling in control of your life, and deepening personal relationships when you can understand and accept your actions.
  2. Better goal-setting: Self-accountability also helps you prioritize when working toward your goals.
  3. Growth mindset. Accountability encourages you to be open to learning and developing rather than staying in the same place.
  4. Increased self-confidence.
  5. Develop greater motivation. Your motivation grows after reaching certain milestones, fueling your drive to keep setting new goals.

Developing accountability will get you up off the couch and out the door and on your way to your best body, best health, best fitness, and best life.

In summary, this week’s episode is all about holding yourself accountable.

Let’s review the 10 Ways I covered in this episode:

  1. Set specific and realistic goals:
  2. Create a schedule and stick to it:
  3. Find an accountability partner:
  4. Track your progress:
  5. Stay motivated with a positive mindset:
  6. Join a fitness community or class: Join my Facebook group: Your First Walking Club
  7. Set reminders and utilize technology:
  8. Mix up your routine:
  9. Be flexible and adapt:
  10. Reward yourself:

What is your go-to accountability habit to get you moving?

13 Benefits of Walking Every Day

Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. - Thomas Jefferson

Consistency is the theme of this episode of Walking for Health and Fitness. Specifically, how can we develop the habit of getting out the door every day to enjoy the benefits of a daily walk, and why should we do that?

Before I even talk about the benefits of a daily walk, I’ll take a step back and talk about why doing anything on a consistent basis is important.

From my Walking for Health and Fitness website’s homepage, I write:

The Walking for Health and Fitness Goals are to assist you in the following:

  • Developing a consistent routine in preparing to walk
  • Developing good fitness routine habits
  • Develop a clear mindset for creativity and problem-solving
  • Enjoying the walking lifestyle

 

Continue listening to this episode as I cover:

  • Five advantages of maintaining consistency when walking and in your everyday activities:
  • The Benefits of walking just 30-minutes a day
  • Ideas to get in more walking time:
  • How-to Determine Intensity – I’ll discuss the talk test
  • 13 Benefits of Walking Every Day

Ep 3: Walking Speed and Life Expectancy

Tuesday Jun 20, 2023

Tuesday Jun 20, 2023

This episode is about a 10 Minute Time Test. A self-diagnostic health test you can and should perform at least once a month.

Download: Fitness Walking and Bodyweight Exercises, Chapters 1 & 2

Walking speed is a powerful indicator of vitality: Walking speed studies shows that a person's pace, along with their age and gender, can predict their life expectancy just as well as the complex battery of other health indicators, such as blood pressure, body mass index, chronic conditions, and smoking history.

 

People who are in better physical condition tend to walk faster than those who are not.

 

Slow walking speed has been associated with a higher risk of disability, hospitalization, and mortality. Studies have shown that slower walking speed is a predictor of future health problems and can be a sign of a decline in physical function.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The link between walking speed and life expectancy.
  • 10-minute time test: a self-evaluation test you can do at anytime that will alert you to a potential health issue. Getting medical treatment sooner will give you a better change at full recovery and with lower medical costs.
  • My STEPS acronym to walk with better form, and
  • 10 Ways to increase your walking speed right now!

 

Rock legend Rod Stewart said, “It was early detection that saved my voice - and I imagine, my life.” You may be asking, what is a quote from a rock star doing in a walking podcast?
