Shownotes

No matter what speed your forward motion is, you need to listen to this enlightening episode featuring Milica McDowell, DPT, co-author of Walk: Rediscover the Most Natural Way to Boost Your Health and Longevity―One Step at a Time. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams, Dr. Milica details:

  • the true sweet spot of daily steps (pssst: It’s less than 10,000!)
  • the remarkable powers of a 5-minute walk and walking backward
  • posture tips and walking drills
  • why you might want to ditch your weighted vest
  • the myriad benefits runners can gain by adding walks to their daily routine

The co-hosting duo talk about recent swimming and hiking adventures before Dr. Milica joins around 08:50.
