Okay, so let's talk about those days. You know the ones. Your workout gear is giving you the side-eye and the couch is a tractor beam, pulling you over to it.

Uh-huh. Been there more times than I can count.

Well, I have a psychological hack for just that, and on this short walk 'll tell you how I trick myself into doing something I don’t feel like doing. Works like a charm.

During this 10-minute walking mini-workout we chat about:

• The "gym bag trick" I've been using for years to squeeze in exercise when I don’t want to.
• Why just "showing up" is more important than having the "perfect" workout.
• The story of how a trip to Costco for new tires turned into a surprise walking workout."

Seriously, if you've ever fought with your couch and lost, this walk is for you.

P.S. You will hear a bell halfway. If you're out, that's your cue to head back.

Hi Walkers!

Does it feel like your metabolism has taken a permanent vacation? And the only way to get it back is with long, torturous workouts that you just haven't got time for?

What if you could kick start your body's fat-burning machine by working smarter, not longer?

This is a 20-minute walking workout that's going to show you how to use simple, easy-to-do tricks to keep your metabolism burning - not just during this walk, but all day long.

Here's what I've got for you on this walk:

• Why shorter and harder intervals are your metabolism's best friend.
• Why "exercise snacks" - tiny movements you can do throughout the day to keep the flame alive – rock the free world.
• The time I learned to sprint on my bike after I accidentally rode onto a freeway.
• Background music to help you keep movin' and groovin' (yeah, baby).

You can do this walk outdoors or indoors on whatever equipment you have (and even while just walking in place or moving side-to-side).

P.S. You'll hear a bell halfway through the walk. If you're outside, that's your cue to turn around and head back. And don't forget to hit subscribe or follow.

Hey Walkers!

It's that time of day, isn't it? Your brain is threatening to go on strike, and the siren song of the sofa (and maybe a bag of chips) is getting louder by the minute.

I get it. The afternoon slump is real, and my first instinct is usually a nap (but no can do).

But what if, instead of crashing, you could recharge in just 10 minutes?

This isn’t a punishing workout; it’s a quick reset for your body and your brain.

In this 10-minute power break walk, we’re ditching the extra caffeine and going for something that actually works.

Here’s what I’ve got for you on this walk:

• A simple trick to break up the workday and beat the 2 PM brain fog
• Background music with a steady beat to keep you moving
• My ADHD-fueled observations to keep you entertained
• A tip I picked up from Billy Idol, my pretend husband since 1984

If you're tired of feeling like a zombie in the afternoon, this walk’s for you.

P.S. You'll hear a bell halfway through the walk. If you're outside, that's your cue to turn around and head for back.
