Power of Walking 🚶🏻‍♀️‍➡️🌊

Got outside this past weekend on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, UK.

Incredible 200 foot cliffs along the coast, data showed we covered:
- 10.4 km ⛽️
- over 1,500 ft elevation gain‼️(felt like leg day!😱)
- just over 3 hours

…

What’s great about getting outside?

1️⃣ exposure to nature lowers cortisol (stress) 😖

2️⃣ looking into the distance (not at your phone) reduces sympathetic activity. 💡

3️⃣ walking great for blood sugar and pressure 🩸

4️⃣ steep inclines great for muscle and mood 💪

5️⃣ great to connect and spend quality time w friends/family. 🤩

…

What’s YOUR game plan to get outside next weekend?

Super simple.

Super effective.

Super fun.

Get outside! 🫵
