Walking + Strength: Double Your Fitness in 32 Minutes | Podcast Ep. 31

What if you could burn fat, build strength, and boost your energy in just 32 minutes—without stepping foot in a gym?

That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of the Walking for Health and Fitness Podcast.

In Episode 31, I show you how to combine fitness walking with four simple bodyweight exercises—pushups, squats, lunges, and planks—that transform an ordinary walk into a total-body workout.

This approach isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter. By weaving in short bursts of strength training with your walk, you can:

  • Raise your heart rate

  • Build lean muscle

  • Burn more calories during and after your workout

  • Improve posture, balance, and joint health

And the best part? You only need 32 minutes to get it done.

🎧 In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why walking speed is such a powerful predictor of health and longevity

  • The Core Four moves that power up your walk: pushups, squats, lunges, and planks

  • The science of combining cardio and strength for double the benefit without doubling the time

  • A step-by-step Supercharged Walk routine you can try this week

  • How Bob, one of my listeners who’s about to turn 80, uses the program to feel younger, stronger, and more energized than ever
