Walk and Lift. A Simple Approach to a Better, Healthier Body and Life

Nothing beats a walk outside during down time. 

Get outside and walk around more. Even if it's just 15 minutes. 

Multiple daily 15 minute walks around the neighborhood or at the office can be life-changing when done regularly. Over time, those 15 minute walks become 30, 45, or even 60 minute walks. 

Pair this with 3-5 lifting sessions per week and you are golden!

Here's a program you can do, alternating between 2 sessions 3-5 days per week in just 30-40 minutes per session (maybe less).
