Stay Consistent on Messy Days | 1 Mile Power Walk | 68

from Walking & Talking with Helen - Walking Workouts · host Helen Ryan

You know those days when your plans to work out fall apart? (Or your plans for anything, really). This 1-mile power walk is a great podcast to walk to, and it's all about having a backup plan so one messy day does not turn into a full “well, I guess I live on crackers now” situation.This is a guided walking workout you can do outside or at home on a treadmill or walking pad. Lace up your shoes, and let’s get a brisk 1 mile and about 2,000 steps in together, complete with background walking music.How to stay consistent with exercise when you’re busyStop waiting for the perfect day or the perfect time, because it doesn't exist. Staying consistent means ditching the "all or nothing" mindset. Something is always better than nothing. What is a realistic exercise backup plan?Find what actually works for your real life and schedule... not someone else's. If 5:00 AM workouts aren’t your thing, don't make yourself do them. Your backup plan should be a no-fuss, indoor or outdoor walk that you can trigger the moment your calendar blows up, whether you are stepping outside or walking inside on a walking pad or treadmill.Your body, your life, your scheduleSome people "eat the frog" first, some people take their "reward" first. (Spoiler: I like my reward first). Don't force yourself to live someone else's schedule. We also walk and talk about: How to stop waiting for the perfect conditions to exerciseAre you an Amy or a Captain Holt from Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Or a Helen?Walking tours in Europe and throwing out the standard productivity adviceThe reality of trying to do crunches while nursing a baby (motherhood is... different)If your schedule just went totally awry but you still want to fit in some movement, hit play and come for a walk.Tap Follow so the next walking podcast episode is waiting for you in your feed.Share your walk at @yourwalkingpodcast on Instagram, Facebook or Threads.Support the showFollow, subscribe, or leave me a review.
