1-Mile Walk n' Talk: How to Love + Appreciate Your Body (As It Is Today!) - Walking at Home

[@jeepersandrandy]

Thanks for this wonderful Walk + Talk today, Jessica! I really injured my back almost 3 weeks ago so badly that I could not even move. Today I am grateful for the fact that I can do your Walk + Talks and that I am able to get up and walk. I loved the quote, "Be Kind To Your Body - It's The Only Place You Have to Live"!

[@QueenofHearts02]

Absolutely, love the skink you're in! This was a wonderful treat! 8.16.2023!

[@kathryndoolittle9613]

I absolutely enjoy these sessions of Walk and Talk. It's just wonderful to get your motivational narration to get me through a slump, and keep on moving. Please continue with this series.

[@candacewilson6939]

Thankful for sunshine today 😊

[@rachelanne7777]

I so appreciate these walks! Thank you for all you do. You are so encouraging and positive but keep it real.

[@milenagaspard3093]

I am becoming addicted to your videos! Thank you for everything !

[@hlasseter]

Thanks! I've been really down about my weight gain after having 3 children, all under six. You asked us to say one thing we're grateful for today about our bodies. I'm grateful that my body has been able to nurture, give birth, and nourish three babies despite my being an older mom (44 now). And that I'm still in good heart shape despite the 50 extra pounds.

[@ariesphenix1]

One step at a time...anyone watching and reading this, you are ready to take steps to appreciate yourself as you are. You are so worth it. I love what Jessica said and I’d like to add that positive affirmations are a good place to start. Louise Hay has great ones about everything including our body image. Positive affirmations can help us learn healthy loving thoughts to replace the harmful things we have learned to think about ourselves. Meditation is also a powerful tool to help calm the mind and body. I use KZbin for both. Whoever is reading this I am sending you love and light and I hold a space of faith, knowing that you are on a path leading to beautiful things ❤️

[@Redreamer222]

Hey :) what i appreciate about my body is that it is fully functional and takes me from one day to the other. The force within is burning and its getting brighter with exercise and makes me more and more aware of my body, and thats much thanks for videos like this. Im also glad that i can swim, thats something im really glad for. Thanks for this video and peace to all

[@Jessicasmithtv]

LOVE this -- "The force within is burning and its getting brighter with exercise and makes me more and more aware of my body" - yes! This is such a great reason to train! Thanks so much for sharing and for walking and talking with us today

[@donnagarcia6763]

I had an injurty two weeks ago. I was upset at first, that my body encountered this strange and painful situation that appeared totally random. I had to stop and let my body rest, I had to care for myself instead of constantly being on the go. And you know what? I'm better. Not all the way, but better. Here I am two weeks later easing back into workouts with this walk and talk about loving my body. I will get back to the tougher stuff, but right now, I'm grateful that it only took two weeks to mostly recover and get back into things. That's what I love about my body, and not be mad at it for taking me down for a couple of weeks. Thank you, Jessica~

[@jennifershyn7541]

I love Peanut. Wrinkly faced doggies are my favorite. You are an amazing motivator. Thank you for these videos! :)

[@carolinew951]

I haven't treated my body the best over the years and I always think what a wreck I am......But, while doing this walk n talk I realized that my body still moves, still works and is still here! Just doing this walk has shown me that while my body isn't in the best of health, it still moves. Thanks for this motivating walk n talk Jessica!

[@ProfMishelle]

I have been working out with Jessica for about 1 year now. This is an easier walk. But, the inspiration to keep going is much needed! ❤

[@Evershear]

This was great. Just enough to get the body moving without being overwhelming. I love that at 47, I can get up and move and make a change in my life. Despite my inactivity for such a long period of time, I can get up and make a decision to do something different. Every day is a new day.

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Yes, love that Evershear! Thanks for walking and talking with us today. Please keep up the great work you are doing taking care of your body and your health. You got this!

[@agalfrmtx]

Thank you, Jessica! I just found this walk and talk series yesterday. Such a great idea to just get up and move a little. I was thinking about the topic and realized, I'm 43, I don't think I have much to improve on! Little things, small goals, but mostly maintenance. We're not getting any younger! Just taking care of myself, eating healthy foods, trying new recipes, and keeping my body strong.

[@veronicadeitz6921]

I really enjoy the Walk & Talk series. I use them for a dual purpose: as an extended cool down after more intense exercise and to up my daily step count. Thank you!

[@sherrychen3369]

Thank you Jessica for this vedio. I am not good at exercise. And I don't like exercise. After 36 years, I finally can feel my body when I doing this video. And I can finally realize why exercise is good for body. My body is so happy she can move! I feel the enery flowing through all my body and my life. Thank you. This series is just fit my body now. Wish this would be more videos.

[@AlissaSchmitz-xs5po]

This was my walk for this morning I really enjoy your walk n talks I always learn something new and It wakes me up and gets my body moving for the day something that I am grateful for is waking up every morning and being able to workout with you thank you for being my biggest inspiration you have helped me so much in my journey I did loose myself after the car accident but I am slowly getting better and trying to stay consistent with me exercises learning how to love myself again thanks for walking with me this morning Jessica have a great Friday 😀

[@ayemdismantld]

"Speak to yourself as you would a kind and dear friend".....that's one of my inspiration for the day. Thank you Jessica

[@made4mordor]

I found this to be very powerful. I think it's my second time going through it and I still took a lot. :) I'm so grateful to my body for sustaining me through a very physical job (stenography) with my chronic neck and shoulder pain, I am really a soldier for myself. Now I am committed to getting massage and chiropractic treatment to honor my body!

[@elainebrodrecht1163]

Good morning I enjoyed your video I stopped exercising due to pain I had a knee replacement in Dec. I now have 2 knee replacements and 2 hip replacements. I finally got the pain under control and today was the first time in months I decided to exercise again. I feel good a big thankyou to you. You are very inspiring keep up the good work.

[@HollywoodCharityAuctioncom]

I appreciate that my body rewards me with more stamina, energy and vitality when I give it what it needs.

[@saragretlein6918]

Love all of your videos Jessica! I am so happy that I found your workouts and really enjoying the walk and talks as well as all of the other videos. Really helps me get more steps in each day. Thank you for all of your inspiring words!

[@jennifermurray6603]

Thanks Jessica. You help me remember that I am grateful that I can "move" my body...I am not in good place in my life, but I make an effort to workout daily. Thanks!

[@gwenritch]

And grateful that you take time to,make these beautiful videos! Thank you

[@kimberlybartley7694]

I love this series so much! One thing that I appreciate about my body- even when it isn’t where I want it to be- is that it will always respond when I begin training it. I’m forever amazed by what it can do when begin to increase demands on it.

[@Jacqueline_R]

What I like about my body is I am able to carry myself around, take a hike, walk. I'm 52, and I hope to keep up good mobility for the rest of my life. Thank you for your sweet, encouraging nature and fantastic work outs! Thx to Peanut as well!😀

[@melissalayne5439]

Hi Jessica! Hi Peanut! Long time since I checked in with you! I am grateful that my body has lasted me so long and still keeps going! I've been a Type 1 diabetic for almost 50 years. My diabetes has always been difficult to control. Doctors warned my parents I may not make it to age 20. I'll be 53 in June! Will have had diabetes for 49 years in May. And, I am still here!! Yes, I am blind, but I can walk, work out in many marvelous ways, make decisions and am stronger, thanks to well cued fitness videoes like yours, than I've ever been!! My legs are well defined. My rear end allows me good looking exits! My arms are not fluttering in the wind! I do a gratitude list every night. I am inspired now to add a gratitude for something my body does or is each day too! Thanks, Jessica! Always! Melissa & Sassy too!

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Hi Melissa! Great to hear from you again - hope you and Sassy are doing well. What an inspirational story - thank you so much for sharing and for walking and talking with us. Please keep up the amazing work you are doing taking care of your body and your health.

[@christinakottmann]

Really appreciate the teacher shoutout @8:07 . You are teaching too! Keep up the positivity, you're awesome Jessica. :D

[@Daymay42]

Grateful that my body is still flexible enough to do these videos. Thanks Jessica!

[@jlrowan1973]

I'm recovering from a total hip replacement and these videos are great for my rehab!!!

[@princessdianevonb]

Jessica! I loved this topic! You are always so inspiring and authentic! ! You asked us to comment on what we are grateful for each day; I would love to add a practice I teach my royal friends in the kingdom of Princess Diane von Brainisfried. I call it Jessica’s Gift after a philosophy classmate who passed of cystic fibrosis at 33. Every morning when I awake I take 3 deep breaths and really think mindfully of those breaths and I say “ thank you Jessica.” Let her be your angel too, to remind us of the wonderful gift of our lungs and how lucky we are that we can breathe! Jessica was waiting for a lung transplant that she was denied. When she thought she could get one, she spoke to a lung transplant recipient who told her that now she wakes up and can breathe. Jessica said she couldn’t imagine what that must be like! Sooo my friends and followers of the wonderful And inspiring Jessica Smith... know that everyday your miracle lungs are helping you be that wonderful you! Xoxo

[@kelseyparker7737]

I love the walk and talk. That rhymes!!

[@cherylbower2423]

I love that I woke up and did this workout you always inspire me to keep going!! Thank you for all that you do to make the world a healthier place :) and peanut too!

[@judyhoomalamalama]

Im 72 and this was my 4th mile today. Did 3 then my pilates & found this video to assit me to get through the 4th. Thank u. I am thankful that my body has carried me this far in life.

[@texasgrandma17]

Thank you! Today is my 60th birthday and this was a great video for me! I've recently be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes ( my mom died at the age of 48 due to complication of the disease!) I've always been fairly active but,I have a very difficult time losing weight! I get so discouraged because I never and I want to see results. I know the healthy results don't always show on the outside I guess I just need to remember that, because I want to say hello to you in 10, 15, 20 maybe even 25 years from now! Hugs to Peanut ;)

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Happy Birthday Patty! Thanks so much for walking and talking with us today - keep your positive focus on taking great care of your body and your health. You got this!

[@maritzamoffett8021]

Jessica, I just love that you are true to yourself and encourage us all to be who we are as well. You are definitely one of the best instructors out there. You don’t try to fit in to what everyone else is doing. I’ve been doing workouts with you for years now on KZbin. I only wish you lived in Calif. so that I could meet you and take your classes. Continue to do what you’re doing Jessica. You are awesome my dear.

[@erikabarnathan4702]

I really love these walk and talk videos. You are very inspiring. Thank you for all you do!

[@CrystalSotoctxqt86]

I love waking up and doing a walk and talk video first thing every morning. I'm a SAHM and with a 3 yrd old at home it can be tricky to get some steps in my day. I am so grateful you do these amazing workout videos for us all. All your videos are absolutely perfect for me !! Really enjoyed it. I am so glad I found you on KZbin as your videos are just what I have been looking for 👍 thanks a million

[@CrystalSotoctxqt86]

Peanut is the cutest! Thank you for all of your inspiring words! REPLY

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Thanks for walking and talking with us today Pahla! We're so glad you found us and are a part of our community. Hope to join you for another session soon :-)

[@latifaalayoubi2055]

Bless you Jessi , really love you and your videos 😘i love your respectful personality .. and u well said the most important is to be healthy not to be sexy 👍 big thanks from lebanon 🇱🇧

[@jeannedavenport9955]

Thank you Jessica & Peanut for a meaningful and good walk! I’m grateful I completed the Walk Strong 6 week program before Christmas. So many people have told me that they see an improvement in my stamina and overall health. Now I have to keep it going, am currently working on the Walk Strong 2 schedule.

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Love those fantastic results jeanne davenport! Please keep up the great work you are doing taking care of your body and your health. So glad we could join you for our Walk STRONG journey! We look forward to many more sessions together with you :-)

[@msbkaleem]

Would love to see a Walk and Talk conversation with you and Miss Debbie on fitness at any age.

[@susanyau588]

Thanks Jessica, I love your workout.

[@amyeli33]

Self care would be a good topic.

[@tinadiscenza5974]

This video struck a chord in me:) Everything you talked about is what I want my daughter to hear on the regular! Thank you for the positive energy you send out into our world!♡♡♡

[@newclee]

Thanks for this video, I am getting over a cold so this was a great way to get some exercise without overdoing it.

[@terryreisiger1522]

Have you talked about keeping up motivation and plateaus. Thanks for everything!

[@cherylokamoto4496]

I am grateful I have healthy lungs to breathe with each day🙏🏻A dear friend had a lung transplant two years ago and still remains in ICU-struggling to breathe, muscles atrophying 😞 My knees creak and I’m very uncoordinated but I can BREATHE💗

[@susaneverett4764]

'don't be afraid to take up space'!! 😮WOW! Words I needed to be reminded of... I am important too, I matter 😍 thank you!!

[@corrierogers3800]

I love that I am able to move my body, and do what I need to do in my daily life. Thanks! This was a great walk and talk!

[@romneykids312]

Thanks for this! Today I appreciate being able to feel my muscles work. They especially fired up during the out-out-in-in. Thank you for always challenging us to do and be our best.

[@jackiemc6745]

This was a wonderful Sunday morning wake up and a reminder of what is really important. Thanks Jessica you are beautiful both inside and out. I am grateful for my wonderful body. It might not be as tight as it was in my 20’s (I am much nearer 60 than 50 now). But it is certainly stronger thanks to Jessica, her programmes I the energy and confidence to try out new things.

[@caraj8949]

I am grateful that my body is strong and healthy. I am grateful that I can move on my own. My body is the one I am fortunate to have and therefore, I intend on taking care of it to the best of my ability.

[@jackiemc6745]

This is such a super reminder of what is “important”. Count your blessings every day but make your blessings count really resonated with me this morning as this is Mile 5 on my 10k challenge. I did 4 miles on Saturday but it has been such a busy few days I am finishing my last few miles today. I am grateful for my energy and I am going to make that energy “count” by donating to The SPCA and Typhoon Mangkut relief in the Philippines once I have finished my 6.3 miles. 1.3 miles to go..... see you at another walk and talk😀

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Love that Jackie Mc! Thanks so much for making those miles really count - you are doing great :-)

[@colleensouthwell7549]

I love the walk n' talks! I use them as a warm up to my workouts (which are still in the very beginning stage). And I also use them as my weekend walks because I live in Michigan where I can't get outside for six months of the year (I actually love that). I am so grateful for my body. I'm overweight but my overall health is great. And these walks will keep me on a healthy track. You are very inspirational and make it all so much more fun. Thanks.

[@louisebrown3933]

Really enjoyed this walk and talk, thank you Jessica and Peanut x

[@cherisprecher6448]

Thank you, thank you for this video! I just got done watching it to see what it is like and now I am going to do it today for the first time. I suffer from Fibromyalgia to the point of being on disability and I think I can do this 15 min walking. Thank you for all your encouraging words. They meant the world to me!! I am looking forward to seeing you again and hearing your words of encouragement!!

[@deniseastorino2352]

I'm grateful for my tiny hands. There is no jar I can't reach the bottom of!

[@julessparkles4853]

Definitely grateful for my health, being able to get up every morning and move with love, joy and mischief. Also grateful that I am learning to live with my body's natural rhythms rather than ignore them and most recently grateful for learning to embrace and even enjoy my menstrual cycle and know there are times to BE and times to DO and acknowledging and honouring which is which (Wild Power by founders of Red School, A Pope & S Hugo Wurlitzer) Thank you, Jessica. A wonderful way to start the day xXx

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Love that Jules! Thanks so much for sharing and for walking and talking with us today :-)

[@danahoward6638]

I appreciate that my body still moves!

[@racheal1625]

I really enjoy the Walk n Talk series! I have struggled with my eating habits for awhile. Realistically, I don't need to eat very much to feel full and I'm ok with that. The struggle is that I overeat and tend to eat when I'm not hungry. I grew up learning the importance of having a healthy relationship with food, but i feel like I have been spinning the tires in the mud. Could you do a Walk n Talk about managing such things and how to move forward?

[@i3beer]

Oh yes!!! New video 😭😍💗 THANKS JESSICA 💋 You’re the best I’m so so in love with this series hope you could post more 👍🏼

[@cindyrogers859]

Good walk and talk, Jessica! I enjoy your topics and the way you bring them to your audience. Keep up the good work! You and Peanut are my favorite workout partners!

[@boak9642]

Great walk and talk! I know in my professional life I'm great at encouraging others. I will continue to work on being positive and encouraging to myself. Thanks for this video - I used it as my warm-up before lifting weights today.

[@GreenHouse2157]

My kids (6 and 8) and I love your walks- you are so upbeat and encouraging! Can you make a kid friendly stretch or more brain boosting walks for kids? We have really been enjoying the ones in the 6 week system and the 5 miles, but we'd love to find some on your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@mayatanner3587]

Jessica's 6 week system is amazing! I recently got it, and I've been doing several of her workouts on there over and over again.

[@Rashokri]

Thank you..I want a walk and talk about being happy

[@rozelles5338]

Thankful that I can get up & move. Another day to take care of myself to have hopefully longer & better quality of life. I just want to be healthier & be able to enjoy life. Weight maintenance is more of where I'm at.

[@audreycaruso8111]

Your walk and talks are great Jessica ..keep them coming!

[@KCorrine]

There is a quote that popped in my head during this walk that goes something like "There are people out there that would love to have your bad day". Even when it's hard to find something to be grateful for, there is always something! I try to remember this on those days I struggle to find something to be grateful for. Loved the Peanut pop ups! It made me laugh!

[@Jessicasmithtv]

Oh that's a great quote KCorrine! Thanks so much for sharing and for walking and talking with us today :-)

[@ranchera71]

Another great Walk-n' Talk, I really love them all. I wanted to suggest you if maybe you could make another workout like "Floor Barre" with the pilates ball from the DVD Barre Fitness. That is one of my favorite workout to work my abs without having to crunch a lot with my neck, that is really hard for me and this workout is awesome. Thanks Jessica and lovely Peanut!

[@KMAllmond]

I lost 2.6 lbs in 13 days. 👍 Off to a good start.

Can you make a workout session for weight gain? You have only made videos on weight loss.

[@forevaeva1929]

Love your workouts. I don’t know if you have already, but if not can you do a jump rope workout?

[@Badonnald]

Jessica, HI! I have just found your awesome sight. I was actually looking for a third trimester work out (yeah, I am due in may!!!) I found the ones you did with your sister, so awesome! I can't wait to add them to my weekly routine. I have a question though, where would you start a beginner? I mean like a "I hate to exercise its so pointless, I will just deal with the bigger clothing size" beginner. I am strongly motivated to be healthier, and I eat healthy but I am so out of shape every time I try a new activity I end laid up with an injury. I need help! lol

[@joannag1610]

I like these talks but is Peanut alive?? :-) I've never seen him move!!

[@hali118]

Great but could you please reduce the sound of music I can’t hear what you have said the music is too over you.. thanks

How can I track the calories burned with your exercise videos?
