It’s so easy to exercise in the same way, day in and day out, but not feel a modicum of inspiration. Ever happen to you?

Never a good sign when you’ve been on “hiatus” from your gym and you return to find out it’s closing!

I saw my friend Deb yesterday and as we were catching up, she mentioned that she’s been making it a priority to walk 45 minutes everyday. As a health coach, you know I love anyone that’s making regular, daily exercise a priority. And I was struck by something she said — walking is meditation for

Do you know how many steps you walk in a day? Most of you probably know that it’s recommended that we walk 10,0000 steps in a day. Are you anywhere in the ballpark?
