When was the last time you opened your eyes and just laid there in bed feeling unmotivated and in a funk?
I get it, I’ve been there, and there is only one solution.
My advice? Don’t let the day escape you by scrolling the day away on your phone.
You gotta get up and get moving!
It doesn’t take a major lifestyle overhaul to start your day in a healthy way. Know what I do?
I take a morning walk around my neighborhood.
It’s easy. No expensive gym membership, no fancy gear, no excuses. Just open the door, step outside, and let your body thank you for showing up.
September is my favorite time to start my days with a morning walk. The air feels fresh, the morning light is beautiful, and each step fills me with gratitude for another day of healthy living.
Join me on my morning walk here.
Walking isn’t just a great way to start your day off on the right foot. Research shows some SERIOUS health benefits to walking:
- Lowers hypertension risk
- Supports cognitive health
- Reduces Type 2 diabetes risk
- Lowers all-cause mortality
- Decreases respiratory disease risk
- Improves bone and musculoskeletal health
- Improves cardiovascular health
- Supports healthy weight
- Improves sleep quality
- Extends longevity
PHEW! Pretty amazing list of benefits for something as simple as walking, right?
Now, if these health benefits aren’t enough to get you to lace up your walking shoes, let me share the secret that keeps me motivated on my morning walks…
I have a blast!
When I’m out on my morning walk, I chat with my neighbors, listen to my favorite music, and always take the scenic route. They’re my favorite part of the day.
Walking is just one of the ways I mix up my cardio, so it never feels boring, because healthy movement is not just about exercise. It’s about living a healthy and happy life.
Another way I stay motivated is by making sure I fuel my walks with healthy nutrition and a positive mindset.
I have developed a lot of everyday strategies that are simple but will transform your life. I share these every week on my Thursday Zoom calls. If you’ve been searching for a way to feel good again, these weekly calls are for you.
