How Walking Can Help You Live Longer and Healthier | Shebah Carfagna & Nate Wilkins

Let’s go for a walk! In this episode we explore the benefits of a daily activity that most of engage in – if we can - without thinking. It certainly doesn’t require a gym membership or special equipment.  Fitness coaches Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna explore evidence that regular walking supports cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, and lifespan—without the joint strain of running.  In our latest Move For Life conversation, we discuss why technique matters: how foot strike, posture, arm swing, and appropriate footwear can enhance the benefits and reduce the risk of injury; how adding weights, poles, or varied terrain can turn walks into full-body, social workouts that build strength and balance.  The takeaway: accessible, low-impact movement that fits daily life can meaningfully improve healthspan.You should seek medical advice before embarking on a new exercise.-----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.
