Been sitting at your desk or on the sofa too long? Get up and give your butt a 10-minute walking break. This guided walking workout helps wake up sleepy glutes and gets your body moving again after hours of sitting.

We'll also play around with your walking stride to see if you can get your glutes doing a little more of the work (or glute activation).

Walk outside, or at home on a treadmill or walking pad.

In this quick walk you’ll get:

• About 1,300 steps
• A quick break from sitting too long
• Easy ways to wake up sleepy glutes
• Walking and posture tweaks
• A few walking ideas to fire up your glutes
• The 55-minute timer trick

And because I tend to drift (thanks ADHD), I also...

• Explain why my butt is apparently on vacation
• Turn into a five-foot tall Hunchback of Notre Dame
• Discover the first step to using my exercise step... is opening the box
• Decide my butt does not need a 14-step morning routine

This podcast to walk to includes upbeat instrumental background walking music, walking cues, a few stride (not snide) experiments, and an optional cool-down.

If you've been stuck at your desk, in the car, or on the couch, get up and come walk with me. Your butt will thank you.
