From Humanoids to Hot Girl Walks...
In this week’s episode, we dive into why walking is one of the simplest yet most powerful forms of exercise. Walking increases NEAT (daily movement) without high-impact stress, supports joint health, and even reduces the risk of liver disease. We talk about how walking improves cardiovascular health and circulation that aids in lymphatic movement and reducing swelling. Then, we discuss how daily step goals, post-meal walks, and treadmill desks are great ways to keep moving. If you’re already strength training and want to improve your body composition, getting your steps in is an easy and accessible way to start to see changes.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why Walking Is the Best Thing You Can Do for Your Body
- The Surprising Benefits of Walking
- How Many Steps Should You Walk Per Day?
- Walking & Aging: Why It’s Never Too Late to Start
