Get Motivated: 15-Minute Don’t Feel Like It Walk | 52


Listen Later

1,400 steps and motivation in just 15 minutes? Yeah, baby. Throw your low motivation out the window with this low-impact 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.

Tap Follow so your next walk is already waiting for you when you need it.
