How to Get (and Stay!) Motivated: A 1-Mile

[@happyladiful]

❤Perfect! I had a rough case of COVID, have been negative for a couple of weeks, but my stamina is greatly diminished. I made it through this, but I had to walk in place at a slower pace, but I did it! (This is from someone 70 that was walking about 5-6 miles a day pre-COVID! And yes, my doctor knows I’m still having issues and encourages me to stay active as I can tolerate.) Also, I love your Walk and Talks! In general I use indoor walks with just music (Improved Health and Reps to Rhythm) because I can’t stand constant prattling/giggling but your talking is peaceful and ultra informative! And I love the side quotes.

Jessica! Thank you for your videos, which have helped me to get motivated to get started again. My PCP last winter insisted that I exercise 30 min daily to lose weight (10 lbs) but to be honest that didn't motivate me (BMI is a joke). Instead I started focusing on what WOULD motivate me - lower my cholesteral (which shot up last summer to +30 points), ease my back pain, and to help my skin rejuvenate (sparkling helps!). It seems to me that it's key to really find out YOUR "why" rather than society's standard especially when it comes to weight. Now, I'm excited to start my mornings with one walk&talk and my early evening with one walk&talk...thanks Jessica!

This was a GREAT Walk and Talk, Jessica, not only the walk part but just the wonderful quotes that you incorporated into the walk and hearing your fitness story. I loved hearing all of it. My favourite quote of yours (but I loved all of them) was, "Remember to say, My peace is more important, when you find yourself reacting to something that doesn't deserve your energy!"

[@nancyjones7078]

Thank you so much for another great topic. The idea of "listening to your body" struck a nerve today. When others try to set a workout schedule, it never matches my energy. Also, if you learn to listen now, it helps later, during the menopausal process, when the energy changes daily (hourly . . .). When my energy is low, the 'walk'n'talks' are great. I'm thoroughly distracted and before I know it, a mile is done!

Jess your timing is always on point!! Three months post partum.. I feel like some sort of shambling pig person 😭 thanks for this gentle re-entry into an active life ❤️✨

[@AlissaSchmitz-xs5po]

This was my walk for this morning I really enjoy your walk n talks I have been trying to get myself back into a fitness routine I have been struggling to keep myself motivated and wanting to get up and workout I found out I have fibromyalgia it’s so painful and it is also why I am always feeling so tired I am working with my Dr to hopefully get me back on track so I can start working out again and keep working on my mental health thanks for Listening I hope you have a great day 😀

[@heidihouseholder727]

It is always such a treat to see new videos from you in my feed! Thanks for this and all you do for us!

[@boomchicaboomboom]

I love these walk and talk workouts. They are very motivating and always speak to me. I can relate to so much of the talking points. I just got motivated to do another walking workout!

[@racheljohnston7846]

Love these walk + talks!! I like to do these in the evenings after supper. It helps me with digestion 😄

[@karentannenbaum1589]

I absolutely love your workouts. I use youtube and have just about all your DVDs. I have to know what those gorgeous blue/turquoise hanging things are....they have been in the background of so many of your youtube videos....especially recently. I notice they are very sparkly in the sun. Your settings are so motivating. I truly miss Peanut and when I do workouts with her there, I usually just get teary eyed and also get a kick out of her presence. I appreciate having you and your workouts to keep me in shape. I am 67 and have been working out consistently for 27 years.

[@francesanne8741]

Love these walk and talk videos!!❤

[@maryfrey]

I liked hearing your fitness story. A journey is a compilation of small steps!

[@devotionalbarb3699]

Hi Jessica. Great job I've been doing your walks for years and decided to see how this one does. Good seeing everyday.

[@audrey5324]

Thank you, I really needed this Walk & Talk. I enjoy these walking videos and love the videos on the Access Pass, especially the Walk Strong ones with your mom (Debbie) and Beth!😊

[@76Christie]

Thank you for doing these! I revisit them to connect my body and mind, just taking a moment to reset. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jamescarvey2133]

All my heroes on one page-Covey, Clear and Jessica Smith, YEAH!!!!!👏👏

[@ashleymay7848]

Thank you for this new walk and talk. Sometimes after getting my little one down for a nap I want to work out some but not with weights because I am already tired. This is perfect! Trying to build up a little each day.

[@samanthapoole9859]

Thanks Jessica! Always excited to see a new walk with you! 🩷

[@sages66]

I love all of your Walk n Talk Videos, but I just really, really loved this one. The topic, the outdoor setting, and the beat of the music were amazingly on point. Thank you for all of your Walk n Talk Videos. ❤

[@sweetblackberry1981]

Yeyyy im glad to see a new vídeo of yours😍

[@krissi31]

I regularly do weights and cardio. I also have fibromyalgia.. and some days all I can do are these walks. Thank you for these! They are motivating when I need them and they keep me moving!

[@sukybee07]

A great pep talk. Just what I needed today thank you Jessica ☺

[@morningglory1085]

[@tiffanyhansen8039]

This was precisely what I needed this evening. Thank you!!! I'm always excited when I get the notification that you have a new video out.

[@SabrinaGrant-w2m]

I really enjoy the walk & talk workouts

[@jamescarvey2133]

Love the wisdom in that line, " Set yourself up for success, as best you can." Very insightful advice, Jessica! Thank you!🙏🙏🙏

[@kedmonds2123]

These new little walk and talks are so much fun!! I only intended to do 30 mins today but I am doing all 3 of your new little mini 1 mile walks because they are so much fun!! Thank Jessica!!

[@JoanaRoz70]

[@juliewhiteside2497]

Brilliant! I was having a rubbish morning,got myself up and did this feel 100% better. Great pace,as always for the Walk & Talks,thoroughly enjoyed the music,it was spot on for pace so I could walk to the beat. Thankyou Jessica!

[@paulaweber1858]

I needed this. I got very sick in early March with RSV, bronchitis and walking pneumonia. The recovery from this has been slow. It has been difficult to sustain my usual six-day per week exercise schedule since. I've had to regress a fair bit to accommodate fatigue and low energy.

[@denisebrightbill7984]

Good workout; keep them coming, Love the background❤

[@nonaasfour3280]

Thx needed this

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

Perfect timing my dear! We just had to put our beautiful kitty to sleep and motivation without my workout buddy has been challenging to say the least. But I put this on today and got lost in your words and inspiring quotes for the first time! I am actually on my yoga mat typing this because I am going to do a bit more for myself today because it feels right❤ Thank you for this gift and for being you😊

[@Jessicasmithtv]

I am so sorry for your loss. Sending big hugs your way! So glad we could walk together today ❤️

Light color pants would be easier to see

[@MissMariQueen]

I agree. I had a problem following the Met Conditioning 3 as the mat was black, the step was black and all in the shade.
