The most underrated exercise – WALKING!!
Health gurus always talk about HIIT training, strength training, spinning, running, etc etc etc. You can name any kind of high-pulse exercise when it comes to what is “the best exercise”. But do you know that WALKING is the most underrated form of exercise which is actually FANTASTIC for you?? 
It is SO simple and SO effective! We can walk every day and in every weather! (yep 
). If I happen to have a day when I feel a cold coming on and a sore throat starting, I don’t skip movement completely. I WALK! Walking doesn’t only help burn calories, but it’s also great for mental health & clarity.
I don’t often talk about my own weight and weight loss because I want how I FEEL to be the focus of my journey. Not a number on the scale. However, I can say that I have lost a significant amount of weight the past year (AND gained muscle!) and walking has REALLY contributed to this! Other cardio is not actually necessary for a weight loss point of view 
Here are a few reasons why I’m committed to getting those daily steps in, and why you should too:
Boosted Mood: Walking releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones, leaving you with a natural high and a more positive outlook on the day. 
Increased Energy: Forget that mid-afternoon slump! Walking helps improve circulation and oxygen flow, giving you an energy boost to power through the day. 
Enhanced Creativity: Need a brainstorming session? Taking a walk can stimulate creative thinking and problem-solving. 
Heart Health: A brisk walk is an excellent cardiovascular exercise, supporting heart health and reducing the risk of heart-related issues. 
Stress Reduction: Say goodbye to stress! Walking can help lowering cortisol levels, promoting relaxation and overall mental well-being. 
Improved Sleep: Regular physical activity, like daily walks, can contribute to better sleep quality. Say hello to sweet dreams! 
Make it a daily habit that your body and mind will thank you for! 
Now tell me – do you walk daily?
Much love, strength & joy,
