9. Do You Really Need to Walk 10k Steps Per Day?

Media and news outlets claim 10k steps per day is a must, but is it? Yes, walking is the most under-rated thing you can do for your health. But, do you really need to walk 10k steps per day, or there is a middle ground? In this episode, Jen talks about if 10k steps per day is enough or too much, and how you can get more steps in your daily life. How are you going to change your walking habits? I’d love to hear how you’re making an impact to your total steps per day. So, DM me on Instagram @shifthumanperformance to let me know.

We start on Monday, March 29th. Click the link here to sign-up and show your interest: https://forms.gle/yaYoEUSn6johYRcy7. I’ll give you the details of the program when you sign-up (it’s all for only $49 a month or you can pay for 6 months at a reduced investment of $39 a month). Plus, a percentage of every program you buy goes right back as a donation to our trails every quarter. This is the exact same training I do alongside you, because it works. So, stop doing a half-assed program. Stop program hopping all around by jumping to the next program. Instead, start doing ONE program that gives you something with a greater focus on what you actually need to train to increase your power. I can’t wait to see you in the Shred Stronger group!  Reach Out to Me to Learn More If you have any questions, send me an email at [email protected].
