Is your body stuck in “low-power mode”? Take just 15 minutes, and slide your metabolism’s dimmer switch from “dim” back to “bright.”

Not a boot camp… but an energy rescue walking workout.

Learn simple science-backed hacks that boost your metabolism all day, every day. And... we’ll do three short speed pushes during this walk to help flip that switch in real life (but you don't have to push. You can walk at your own pace!).

The best part: You can do this walk at home or outside. March in your living room, hop on a treadmill or walking pad, or head out the door. (There’s a bell at the halfway point so you don’t have to check your watch.)

And did you know?

• The “Special Agent” Muscle: Acts like a vacuum for blood sugar… even while you sit (yippee!).
• The Short-and-Fast Hack: Why small bursts of “hustle” (like trying to catch a bus) can cut your risk of dying from heart disease by almost 40%.
• The “WD-40” Effect: How moving your arms while you walk can grease your stiff arteries and flood your tired brain with oxygen. Yihaa!

I also get sidetracked and talk about…

Almost destroying my calves with back-to-back massages in Thailand (oops). My “digital nomad” days with nearly unlimited coffee and pastries while walking through foreign cities (because I could not figure out the bus system). And who was in the 80s supergroup The Power Station? Inquiring minds want to know.

Press play to turn on that metabolism. Some like it hot, and some sweat when the heat is on…

Get inspired to exercise more in 15 minutes. This brisk walk helps you to connect with the person inside you who wants to move their body (wait, what?). It's the ultimate "fake it til you feel it" move.

Walking on the “hamster wheel” gets boring. If you’re tired of your routine, let’s steal some motivational tricks from Hollywood. In this world, you aren’t just “exercising”… you’re training for the action scenes of your real life (even if your biggest stunt is sprinting through an airport).

You can do this walk inside at home (treadmill, walking pad, marching in place) or outside. There’s a bell at the halfway point so you know when to turn around, and some background music to help you channel your inner John Wick.

This steady-paced, low-impact walking workout wakes up your brain, burns some calories, gives you around 1,300 steps, and proves that you don’t need a movie contract to train like a badass… because you already rock the free world.

I also wander off into stories about being a vegetarian who didn’t eat vegetables, climbing 300 temple steps in Chiang Mai, falling down the YouTube rabbit hole of John Wick, Jennifer Garner, and Brie Larson’s superhero training, and why hoisting your carry-on by yourself into the overhead bin is an underrated action-hero move.

Want to get about 1,400 steps in? Yeah, baby. Throw your low motivation out the window with this low-impact 15-minute walking workout that will “pump… you up.”

It can be hard to get off the couch, but lace up anyway. Motivation doesn’t just show up… you have to make it. And today, we’re going to make it after all (if you’re old enough for that reference, you’re my kind of people).

You can do this walk inside at home (treadmill, walking pad, marching in place) or outside.

There’s a bell at the halfway point so you know when to turn around, plus background walking music and a couple of pushes to nudge that calorie after-burn.

Yes, you can do something even on a low-motivation day. This short indoor/outdoor walking workout is great for burning a few extra calories, boosting your mood, and proving to yourself you didn’t quit on the whole day.

I also wander off into stories about hauling ankle weights through an airport in the 80s (terrible idea), channeling Pretty Woman “Big Mistake” energy, almost missing a flight while in the restroom, and why bribing myself is my favorite motivation hack.
