Welcome back to The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault.

In this episode, I make a case for walking & why it should be a cornerstone of your wellness routine. My journey with walking began with my father as an example, who was a walking pioneer starting in the 60s! Despite his early example, it wasn’t until later in life that I truly embraced it and understood the benefits, many of them unexpected.

In my forties, after running extensively for years, I finally found that walking serves me better. During the pandemic, walking became my non-negotiable daily ritual. Now, I walk four miles, five days a week, first thing in the morning. It is more than a stroll—it is a purposeful pace that sets a positive tone for my day. It is the moment where I have my best ideas and my creativity flows.

Walking has been transformative, offering benefits like better sleep, weight management, reduced stress, and personal reflection. If you’re looking to start or make it a regular part of your week, tune in, lace up your sneakers and discover the simple path to a healthier, happier you.
