1-Mile Walk and Talk: Let's Move!

[@dianadunca9722]

Jessica, you have been my trainer and friend for almost a decade. There is so much truth in your quotes, and so much motivation in all the exercises you invite us to practice. Thank you!

[@pandyarita3194]

Yes absolutely right

[@suebuc2544]

Thank YOU Jessica!!! I discovered you about 5 years ago, I'm 68 and love your videos!! You help me almost daily to keep moving since total retirement and trying to stay busy. I start my day off with you and love looking through all your videos for the perfect one for me for that day! I have saved soooo many of your vids!! :). Thanks for your constant inspiration and care for your audience... :)

[@theresadennis3040]

Thank you for this short, but much needed video. I have osteoporosis and arthritis and sometimes my body just needs something simple when it is aching. I love all your workouts and your calming presence. Thank you!

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

Your 1-Mile Walk and Talks are my favorites! I usually bike ride from 5 to 10 miles a few times a week, but your videos provide that extra variety of movement that I need to keep things flexible. I hope to keep my 74-years-young body moving for another decade or two.

[@kristenh.h.7320]

Jessica, your positive energy is UNMATCHED!!!!! I ALWAYS feel more positive about my body and my accomplished efforts when I exercise with you! After my hysterectomy a year ago I gained 30 pounds. I need to be more consistent on dropping sugar and eating more naturally. I'm on my way!!!

[@taylorh1020]

I have been doing these for years but have never done a NEW one. I am so excited to still be walking and talking with you. What a treat.

[@AleLau84]

I have been really sedentary lately and though I've been trying to do yoga or pilates, I just couldn't stay consistent. So I decided to start doing the walk and talk every day. Honestly, it's a game changer for me. I can do it any time, I just put on the video, stand up from my desk, do the walk and talk, and go back to work. I love it and I really appreciate you sharing your time with us!

[@aliceleeds510]

I enjoy these walk & talk videos as a welcome break in my day. My present goal is to start writing every morning before breakfast--perhaps 15 minutes to start, just like these walks, then gradually adding on as the habit becomes established. Thank you for the motivation!

[@brendazeller7937]

Thank you for coming back and starting some new workouts. I miss seeing that little cutie pie Peanut....because of Peanut I fell in love with that breed of dog !! thank you for all the years you have shared your workouts and your life with us.

[@sandrawebb-greenwood1008]

Jessica, you are the best thing that I discovered in the Pandemic, I still join you at least 4 times a week. Loving your new KZbin sessions. For years I have punished myself for not being fast enough, strong enough, fit enough and you have made me realise at the age of 66 that my body has limitations (arthritis) and I now appreciate what I can do and be grateful to KEEP MOVING. THANK YOU.

[@donnagarcia6763]

Hi Jessica, I'm Donna. I've been working out with you every day for years. I'm getting ready for a 5 day trek with my Scout troop next summer - Scouts BSA - we have both boys and girls. I need to be ready so I've been upping my strength workouts with you. I've got to keep up with these kids who are endlessly resilient. Thanks for keeping me in shape. I did this workout today because I returned from a backpacking trek this weekend and I just wanted to start the day with a walk and talk. Tomorrow, back to strength!

[@DY2784]

Loved it! Realistically speaking, I’m a lazy sloth and a big time foodie. Results?! I’m at my heaviest ever. Looking to start with these walk-and-talk videos and to ride my stationary bike. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.👍🏼🥰

[@kristenh.h.7320]

Keep going! you can do it!!!

[@charmaine78313]

I’m exactly like you, and my therapist recommended these walk videos I can do at home. Also, good luck on your journey!

[@Hannah-8824]

It's NEVER too late to start again! You can do it!

[@elitecanineconditioning927]

I just completed your 10 minute Ab/Core workout and tacked this on afterwards. I didn't want to perform a full 30+ minute cardio session or a 30+ minute strength session; this combo was PERFECT!!!

[@kathleenpace810]

Thank you for these 1 mile Walk and Talk. I love your enthusiasm and always the quotes that are so spot on. I am recovering from several surgeries last year, the biggest spinal fusion. I'm still having some pain in my back and know that I must strengthen my body so I can do the things I love to do, like take my dog for a nice long walk if Spring ever gets here! I just finished this exercise and made it to the end without having to sit or rest for a minute. I will be back tomorrow for another one!

[@elitecanineconditioning927]

I love your 1-mile walks! I'm working out regularly (weight training, resistance band training and cardio), but I love to do these 1 mile walks after dinner. 😍

[@alfredmackay9196]

I'm joining you from England Jessica and just want to let you know how much I enjoy your workouts. I suffer from Meniere's Disease which has badly affected my balance among other issues but with your workouts, every session I've done has improved my balance, fitness and well-being - love this video so sending you, along with this comment, a huge 'thank you'.

[@AlissaSchmitz-xs5po]

This was my walk for this morning I really enjoy your walk n talks I always learn something new and I get my body up and moving before I start my day I have been struggling to stay consistent on getting up and working out every morning so I am hoping these walks will get me back to a routine life has been a struggle ever sense I was in that car accident all I can do it take it one day at a time thanks for walking with me this morning Jessica have a great Tuesday 😀

[@joannethielen7346]

After a long hiatus due to some health concerns I am back! Down nearly 20 lbs and slowly building my stamina and health back up. Thanks for your array of videos so that I can find one that matches my bodies needs each day ❤

[@claired5722]

Hi Jessica, I have fallen off the exercise wagon for months now and am gaining so much body fat and inches. I have been following you for about two years or more now and am so glad I found you. You are a God send! You make so much sense when it comes to self-image and exercise. Your email of today got me moving into ACTION. I did the short Total Body strength video and the 1-mile Walk and Talk video. Thank you for getting me back on track. I love you and your wisdom. I also love your DVDs. Your Walk Off Belly Fat is my favorite. Thank you for the wonderful work you do in helping others live a healthy lifestyle. Take care.

[@loonielaura]

This has been one of my favourite of your Walk & Talk series and I definitely used it for my self-talk of “something is better than nothing” today as I listened to my mind & body. It was exactly what I needed after a hefty workout week.

[@cindyhite57]

I'm so grateful for this video today. The timing is perfect! After pushing myself physically 5 weeks ago to meet a goal that I had, I found myself sicker than I had been in years. I kept wondering if I had NOT been exercising for years with you, Jessica, how much harder my recovery would have been. As I've hiked, biked with grandchildren, kayaked and completed daily tasks and responsibilities, I've been constantly thankful that my daughter and daughter-in-law introduced me to you so long ago!

[@sanrac93]

I've been gone for a while - getting lost in the nonsense of life - but I'm back now!! Recovering from surgery and the doctor said I need to walk to help in my recovery!! So here I am starting gentle!! Thank you, Jessica!!

[@SarahCarr]

You are fantastic -- I am managing a new autoimmune disorder and I am discouraged I can't do what I used to do. But your walks always make me feel grateful and alive, so thank you!

[@yippeehaha24-y1y]

Thanks for helping me get back on track for 2023. I attended a friend's 60th birthday last week (and I will be turning the big 6-0 myself in 3 months) and realized how I need to start moving again - even for 15-20 min a day. You truly make it so easy to return to a healthier lifestyle. Not a resolution - more of a commitment to my own self for myself and in the end for others.

[@yeseniapena2559]

I love this series. I'm working on prioritizing my mental health. I have plans to start seeing a therapist soon.

[@elizabethkeith9341]

Restarted today. Again 🫠….. so a sunrise yoga and your 1 mile walk and talk to wake up! Thanks Jessica & have a wonderful day

[@petyahristova776]

Thank you so much Jessica! You always have been a great help for me 💕 For more than 3 months it was impossible for me to move , problems with my knee. I will appreciate more routines which are gentle for the knees. I’ve been with you for many years and starting now again . Thank you! 🤗

[@lisalefever1975]

This one was perfect for today. Battling allergies and this was just right!

[@conniewilkins7694]

So happy to see your videos popping up again!I followed you many years ago and loved your workouts. Was sad to see no new videos for quite some time. Honestly I have moved on to more step workouts but there are days-like today when one or two shorter walks are perfect. I needed to incentive to just get out of my funk and move a bit. I love your sweet voice and your easy to follow walks. Please keep them coming.

[@lupeleija9089]

I have been on a super long hiatus and my body feels the pain. I am committing to work on one video workout 5 days a week to get going. I do need to incorporate strength training into my workout too. Thank you for continuing your work, Jessica!

[@carriemay8361]

Thank you Jessica for your walk and talks! These workouts are perfect for doing on my 15 minute work breaks from my desk. I am currently beginning my second round of Lift and Shift and I feel these walk and talks will compliment Lift and Shift as well. Thanks so much for your so complete workouts. I love them!

[@robinkay9024]

This is my first workout since being ill. Although I was tired after only 3 minutes, I persevered. I will feel it the rest of the day, too, but it’s a relief to know that I am well enough to workout again. Soon enough I will be back to my regular cardio routines. Thanks for being here with me.

[@garlicgirl3149]

Hip hop hooray 🎉

[@kathleenpace810]

Great job for going the distance! I am also in recovery mode and feel so good when I can get through a workout!

[@jenw5577]

Thank you for being generous with your videos. I really appreciate it.

[@michelebritton2807]

I really enjoyed this video. I recently developed anxiety with panic attacks and arterial tachycardia. The anxiety really interferes with my exercise routine. I know exercise is the best thing for me to be doing so your video was perfect. Getting back to the walk and talks daily. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and for making them accessible on KZbin.

[@krissi31]

Right now I'm fighting a torn rotator cuff, fibromyalgia and menopause! When i can't do my regular routine I still come here to at least walk and keep moving. Thank you for being here for us!

[@abbyconnors7916]

Thank you for another great walk n' talk video. You have a wonderful positive yet gentle, encouraging approach.

[@Erica-BakingCutie]

I’ve gotten so lost in being a mother and wife so now I’m working on just being me!! Thanks for the workout.

[@susanmerrick9819]

Thank for the walk and talk videos on my 3 day, your walk and talks have help me with stress , you are an inspiration to me, have a good day

[@StephanieKhanFitness]

So happy walk and talk is back! It's my mid afternoon energy boost instead of coffee.

[@PatriciaSuchy]

I have been following you for awhile now. Your CDs were critical during Covid and I still return to you for sensible workouts and encouragement! Thank you for helping us! 0:30

[@catharinenienhouse7636]

I am dependent on your 15 minute videos right now. Working full time as a nurse in a unit where we have different start times everyday ranging from 3:30am to 8:30am. I am also working on my Master's in Public Health Nursing. Not having the pressure to find 30-60 minutes for a workout has helped keep some of my stress away. Thank you!

[@letriciamonroe6756]

I love this type of workout and all your workouts! I love that you are so personable, down to earth, and I feel accomplished and confident after working out with you! Right now I am working on losing the weight that has left and come back again many times over again. I like low impact workouts that include strength training, cardio, flexibility, and a little bit of fusion never hurt! Thank you Jessica, I am so excited for your new workouts as well! Your dvds are tried and true for me! 🙂

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Thank you so much for moving with me LeTricia! Please keep up all of the great work you are doing taking care of your body and your health.

[@taepdap]

I have been feeling very stuck this year and have not had motivation to stick with my 2024 intentions. One thing I have been mostly consistent with is doing a 1-mile W&T every day, so I wanted to say thank you for offering these! But also wanted to share how your workouts have helped in other ways. Yesterday, I read an interesting article that defined the difference between goals and values and helped me prioritize my values to find purpose in my life. Identifying these values brought me back to physical and mental well-being being a core value in my life and motivated me to get back on track, starting today. I was going to just start small and do this 1-mile W&T, but honestly, your energy and enthusiasm are so inspirational that I found myself following up with a strength training workout! I am so appreciative of all the free workouts you offer and the wide variety. Your site is my go-to for working out, but also for finding inspiration when I need it. Thank you!

[@michaelatopalov1990]

I missed doing your videos! Trying to bring down my blood pressure. Lost 11 lbs and exercise and diet have helped tremendously! Thank you so much!

[@garlicgirl3149]

This was great while on vacation. You want to do something but can't always do a full on workout. I so appreciate you Jessica. I am working toward back to strength training three days a week. Hard with my crazy work schedule but I really need it.

[@76Christie]

Just loved this! I’ve been hiding it in my watch later queue, trying to savor it! It did tonight and I’m so glad I did!

[@azg73]

I needed this, I had a horrible stomach flu and this was exactly what I need to get moving again!

[@nicknack8866]

I needed this today, thank you! I am working towards taking time to take care of myself again whether it's taking an Epsom salt bath, quiet time, meditating, or doing a quick walking workout.

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Thanks so much for moving with me today Green Smith! Love that you are working on taking care of yourself - so important! Such great ideas to take action on too.. I'm here for you anytime you want a quick walk :) Please keep up all of the wonderful work you are doing!

[@trishawalshe5582]

Jessica, please put these walking workouts on DVDs. I bet I am not the only one who will buy them all!

[@Elartesoyyo]

God, everytime I watch your videos, I belive in love!!! Thank you Jessica.

[@EsmeCleo]

I wish you’d have more of these walk and talk videos. New ones, I mean. Miss these. Thanks.

[@lisacain852]

First time walk and talk for me and it was great! Definitely going to add these into my routine. Just starting to learn how to enjoy movement without the restrictions of weight loss and dieting. Movement for the sake of being able to move and be strong!

[@patasam]

I enjoy the Walk & Talk videos. Sometimes I just need a few extra steps or an energy boost and they're perfect.

[@lorib2270]

So glad to see your "Peanut" pillow. Love everything you do and am so excited to receive your new DVD's!! Suffered a mild knee injury so your "Walk and Talks" are just the right speed until I'm back on my feet again! 😘

[@pamwaugh2431]

Love this workout and the Peanut pillow is so sweet! Where did you get that?

[@dwilliams21]

Loved the topic of this one--I firmly believe in the power of habits and routines. Pair that with your philosophy "Something is always better than nothing" when it comes to working out and it's motivated me through the days when it'd be so easy to just say, "Nah, no exercise." Basically, it gives me permission to do something easy and 5 minutes on those kinds of days. But that still ingrains the habit.

[@abramos913]

Thank you! I want feeling it today but I wanted to do something. Something is better than nothing. I would love more of thse walk n talks!

[@lorifl9]

I love these 1 mile walk and talks. Thank you Jessica!

[@myssialexandra349]

My favorite series on KZbin! Thanks for the new walk & talk Jessica!!!

[@jackieo8693]

Great seeing you, Jessica! I love your walk and talks! I needed reminding about relaxing my shoulders. I hold them tense all the time! Showing up is a great topic.

[@allisondossett2050]

Just starting to move after a year of extreme inflammation and feeling generally miserable. Thanks for your encouragement today!

[@leftybelle7022]

Truly wonderful to see you Jessica. I hurt my back recently and have not exercised for 2 weeks, which I've missed terribly as it is so helpful in managing anxiety and negative feelings. This 15 minute walk was a 💯 perfect way for me to start my day and ease back into exercise. Thank you!

[@davidleavitt835]

Thank God and thank you for a good uplifting walk.

[@missawalker3325]

I love this!! Thank you for this walking exercise ♡ please do not stop doing it, they are very good routines.

[@loishays2934]

Jessica, I have followed you for about 10 years and no one else. You supply all of my exercise needs. Never bored. One suggestion with your quotes. As they words fade away can they fade from the top first as sometimes while exercising I'm not reading as fast and as I get to the bottom the words go away. Just sayin' 😄 Thanks for everything you do!! 🥰

[@pandas4evr123197]

I've finally gotten some control over my chronic pain, and I'm finally able to incorporate gentle exercise back into my routine! These mile walks are a lifesaver! Thank you

[@jessicanorthcutt-swain3610]

The last few years have been hard for me. I lost my mother (congestive heart failure) last year two days before my birthday, and things haven't been the same. I'm trying to get back to working out, but it's been a slow process, and I've battled mild depression. Working out helps so much, and you're always a friend I come back to every time. Both my mom and dad had heart disease, so I need to take action for my health because there's so much to live for, and I don't want to leave this world too soon! Thanks for being there!

[@ameliaherrington7488]

I am so excited to see a new Walk and Talk. I do my main workout in the morning and like to do some lighter movement in the evening after dinner. The walk and talks are perfect for that. I would love to see one on maintaining momentum through an injury. The number one thing that throws a wrench in my healthy routine is an injury that keeps me from my usual workouts. I try to modify where I can, but that doesn't always work. Thank you Jessica for the wide variety of workouts you provide. I love that I can always find the perfect workout for my mood and energy level.

[@rachelruthenbeck4916]

Thank you for this Walk & Talk! I’m starting to get back into working out again with limited time and these are the perfect length to fit into my life and get me moving! I’m glad glad you’ve come back and am so excited to get moving more!

[@pameladalton2457]

Thank you for your videos - you are my favourite when it comes to exercise videos!

[@workbreakstretch]

Love the message of showing up! Action leads to motivation (not the other way around). 🙂

[@Musicgirl-vw3gs]

I did this walk yesterday - after having spent much of the day thinking about what I needed to do moreso than actually doing it! This was EXACTLY the message I needed right now. Thank you for this and all that you do to keep us moving!

[@VickiKech]

I'm on week 4 of Walk Strong 2.0. I can tell I'm getting stronger but sometimes I need more rest than one day. Showing up for this Walk and Talk got me moving at least a little bit today.

[@wally8148]

I missed your walking videos so much! Glad that you're back

[@jeepersandrandy]

Thanks, I really needed this today Jessica. I am really trying to work on taking care of myself after taking care of others most of my life. I just turned 67 and I have been battling with some health issues, but I have been with you since the beginning. I have had to limit the exercises that I do, but doing your walk and talks is a great start. I also combined this with your Momentum Walk + Talk!

[@ashleyinmexico]

Love these videos! I liked how Peanut was on the pillow art. We miss him! Sending you love!

[@LoveForLudwig]

Thank you for this! I'm a teacher with school age children. Since school has started back, I haven't had the time or energy to get a good workout in during the week. I was starting to feel guilty about that, so I decided to come back to one of your walk and talks. This not only got me moving, but the theme made me feel so much better about myself! "Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned." I need that hanging in my room! :)

[@lisalane3744]

So happy that you are back on KZbin. Thank you for the motivation!

[@starlightskiestarot]

Thank you for these walks ..love the pink rug and the peanut pillow ..xoxo

[@lisaoakes3262]

This is just what I needed, even after a long day at work. I am a middle school teacher and once I show up to your workouts, I feel like I am doing something for myself for the first time of the day. So glad to see your Walk and Talks are back!

[@Wildcherry86]

Thank you for these amazing walk and talk videos. I'm getting back into things slowly due to these past 2 year as well as a surgery I had last Summer. It's been challenging but I'm so grateful for these videos, helping me ease back into getting in shape once again.

[@Julia-xf5ps]

Long time fan here, have some of your videos too! Nice movement, great pace, sweet message too. 💜

[@megaaquarius]

Jessica it is so nice to see new videos from you! I have been working out with you for over ten years now and although chronic medical conditions have greatly affected what my work-outs look like I believe like you do that something is always better than nothing and will not give up my fitness! I really miss the intensity of my former routine but these walking work-outs are perfect for where my body is at now. Your generosity over the many years of posting so many work-outs has helped so many. thank you!

[@karengrose8603]

So excited to see the walk and talk series back!! I love these when I need a quick workout on an off day and you always inspire me!

[@marybackiel8521]

cyclone bomb weather. 0 degrees. thanks for helping me exercise inside!

[@lydiajohn77]

Thank you Jessica! This was exactly what I needed to see today and hope try tomorrow. I've been in need of some motivation to get back on track with my workouts. Getting covid some months ago did a number on my energy levels and it's been pretty hard being consistent again. It's the first time in 3 years that I've struggled so much with ky fitness. I'll try this tomorrow and hopefully from there, will build back a routine for myself. Looking forward! Thanks again! 😊

[@Nana2two]

Great quick workout. Thanks for helping me stay active when I don't feel like it. 😊

[@rivkabialik8445]

Jessica, wow, have not done your workouts in such a long time. Sure hope I will see more new videos even 1/2 hr. ones... This was the best..

[@DComsia]

Thank you Jessica for another great walking video! Your workouts have made (and continue to make) a huge difference in my life after two knee replacements and working on weight loss (down 40 lbs now) over the last 2 years! My Omada coach was the one who recommended you because of your low impact options - Thank you, thank you!!

[@laurabeck2738]

Excellent energy filled Walk and Talk!! Love hearing and taking in the motivational tips!!! 🤗💗

[@clemenciacalk105]

Thank you for a wonderful one mile walk...I feel great,!

[@pamelahinds9593]

Love your walking workouts ❤️ thank you so much x

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Thanks so much for walking with me Pamela!

[@Olga_Afanasieva]

Спасибо, обожаю ходить с Вами.

[@denisebrightbill7984]

Finally a new workout! Now you just need another 4 miles. I do 5 miles 6 days a week. But this is good one.

[@liv.a.little222]

i am statements have been my go to. I’ve never been great at positive thinking when reflecting on the ways i view and see myself. waking up everyday and saying three “i am…” really helps me start off on a better and more motivating foot that i usually do

[@thehappyfinancial]

Thank you so much for this video! Exactly what i needed today

[@pennibrockett6558]

Just noticed you were back! Enjoyed the workout. Thanks and welcome.

[@amymerah9906]

I showed up today! Great 1 mile walk with you Jessica 👍

[@EmmaBaird0504]

Excellent wee workout, Jessica, thanks. Loved your cushion tribute to Peanut. Challenging myself to try and get the hypos under control (T1 diabetes).

[@walkingexercise5375]

Wonderful walk and talk! Your 1 mile walk and talk videos are my favorites! Love that you still have dvds on Amazon! I think it would be fun if you did a collab with another walk KZbin channel like Grow With Jo for a KZbin video or walking dvds. I need to focus on self-care and drinking more water! Your walk and talk videos always have such wonderful and helpful advice!

[@xlaurenlilura]

I definitely went on a bit of a workout hiatus and when I decided this morning that I was going to start again, you uploaded. The woman who contributed to my weight loss of over 100 lbs!!! Thank you so much, beautiful!!! You’re wonderful 🥹🌸💖
