I discuss walking and its positive effect on blood circulation in the legs. 

Part 1: Walking’s positive impact on circulation

Walking benefits blood circulation in the legs by engaging the leg muscles in rhythmic contractions, acting as a natural pump that facilitates the flow of blood back to the heart. This muscle action, coupled with the increased heart rate during physical activity, enhances the efficiency of the cardiovascular system, ensuring optimal oxygen and nutrient delivery to the leg muscles and surrounding tissues. 

As walking requires constant movement, it helps prevent blood from pooling in the veins, reducing the risk of clot formation and promoting venous return. Furthermore, the overall cardiovascular benefits of walking contribute to healthier blood vessels, improving capillary function, and reducing peripheral resistance, all of which collectively support better blood circulation in the legs.

I speak with Fitz Koehler, fitness professional, race announcer, and breast cancer survivor. We discuss her book, My Noise Cancer Comeback. 

Fitz goes into great detail in describing the seriousness of her breast cancer spreading like wildfire. Just six weeks earlier, she had a clean breast cancer scan. She holds nothing back in detailing the brutal effects chemotherapy took on her body. The Power of adrenaline and having a passion for her career. And fifteen months later, defeating cancer. 

Fitz Koehler LINKS:

Walking Logbook Journal Weekly Insights 1,2, and 3:

While the side effects of the chemotherapy drugs for her breast cancer were worse than the symptoms of the cancer itself, Fitz's doctors knew they had to be aggressive in her treatment. 

Throughout her ordeal, Fitz continued to fulfill her race-announcing duties nationwide. From the Big Sur Marathon to the Buffalo Marathon and many races in between, Fitz used the passion for her work and the accompanying adrenaline rush to will her body into action to give "her athletes" the best possible race day experience. 

Fitz was determined to continue doing the thing she loves, and she how race announcing is the best job in the world and to continue her business, www.fitzness.com.

Fitz Koehler's advice for anyone facing cancer:

• Perspective: don't "why me" it

Fitz also teaches that it's essential to be in the best shape because you never know when illness or accident will impact your life. 

The more fit you are, the better your chance of surviving the illness and quicker you will recover from it. 

If you are just diagnosed with cancer, here are Fitz's recommendations:

• Having perspective: Before her diagnosis, she used the words "at least it's not cancer" to put life's irritations into perspective. After her diagnosis, she still uses perspective to cope by saying, "At least my children don't have cancer." 

• Why it's essential to stay fit during cancer treatment. The "mean" chemo took a toll on Fitz, yet when she was able to, she did fitness activities such as walking to keep her body moving.

Her exceptional fitness level before her diagnosis was why she only had one overnight hospital stay. As her doctor said, "I know you are suffering, but you are living your life and having adventures the most perfectly healthy people don't have. If you were not in shape before his ordeal, you would have been hospitalized for at least a month.

• Harnessing the power of adrenaline and doing what you love. Fitz's advice to her audiences is to love what you do. Your passion may be what leads to the cure for cancer.

• Have a goal: we joked about how Killer Hill played a role in her recovery.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. -Bruce Lee

Have you ever been to a funeral and heard a eulogy that resonated with you? Then, the details were lost to you a day or two later. Then, maybe you eventually remembered one thing from the eulogy.

Or sometimes, there is no eulogy at all. A person lives their whole life, and in the end, their family and friends pay their respects by visiting the funeral home, and that’s it. There may be some pictures around during the wake, and if you were close to the person, you might be in a few of them.

I didn’t want that to happen to my mother. I wanted her to be remembered as the special person she was. But I didn’t want to recap her life. The people at her funeral knew her.

I wanted them to know the woman that raised me and my siblings and how she lived her life by a set of unwritten principles or what I called her life lessons.
