2,000-Step Walking Workout
Sam CameranesiWe are back with another fun and exhilarating walking workout. If you are looking for a shorter workout, we have you covered with this quick and heart-pumping 2,000-step walking workout! The beauty of walking is that almost anyone can do it! Walking is good exercise for all ages, sizes, and athletic capabilities. Of course, a good walk outside is, unfortunately, NOT always available!
Sometimes we are prevented from walking due to poor weather, lack of daylight, unsafe neighborhoods, or maybe you just don’t like to be alone when you walk. That’s why we have created this super fun and effective indoor 2,000-step walking workout. Instead of walking alone, you can join Sam Cam, Patty, and Shannon and walk along with them. This is a great cardio workout that will exercise your heart, use your muscles, and clear your mind!
Trust us: this workout is so much more than just walking in place. You will march, step side to side, grapevine, and so much more. There are even some fun dance moves thrown in that you can join along with or just keep the home base walking! Everything is low impact, but everything will keep your heart rate pumping.
With a nice, fast rhythm to walk to, the pace of this workout will not only get you moving but keep you accountable. Of course the pace and movement your coaches provide is NOT the pace you need to keep. Like we always say: progress, NOT perfection. If you slow down or choose to skip some of the moves, that’s okay! Just move along with us the best you can and celebrate your body and your ability to move! Let’s get walking!

It's going to be about 20 minutes, okay, give or take. 'Cause we're having so much fun and we're awesome. Right? Stepping it out right here, relax your shoulders. Okay so, 20 minutes, give or take.
We're walking at about a four mile per hour pace. It's about 15 minute miles, give or take, again. So, a little bit faster at times, a little bit slower. It's all up to you. If you start your watch with us, you might notice at the end you might be a little bit over 2,000 steps, maybe a little bit under, it's A-okay.
Okay? It's an approximation, you do you, lets have some fun today. Yes! All right, so this is your home base. Just walking right here, we've got a little bit of a warmup.
We get the entire body working. And then we're gonna get into it. Love it. Let's do it, let's roll those shoulders up, back and down. Just roll, keep the legs moving.
Big smiles. Right there, one more for shoulders back. Oh, let's go to the front with the shoulders. While we walk today, our entire body is going to be working, right, the core. We're gonna get some arms overhead.
Pump those arms right here. Getting our heart rate up a little bit higher. You do you today. Separate those feet out a little bit wider. Still walking.

Four, three, walk it, two, one, walk it. We're almost there, we're almost there. Awesome. Love it. What do we say we do a few kicks?
I'd love it. Right? To finish it off, we're gonna do some kicks. We start low and more, just kick it. Two, one.
Kick, boom, boom, boom. Right there, if your hamstrings are feeling it, maybe a little higher. Arms in front. Let's add the arms, you push. Push.
Push, right there. You've got it. What do we say about kicks to the side in four? Three. Two, kicks to the side, keep the arms here.
Boom, right here, arms go overhead. We pull down and up in two, one, pull. Down. Down. Oh, right here.
Kick with that aggression, like you mean it. To the back in three, two, one, back. Back, right here. You punch with one arm at a time, let's go. Punch.
Punch. Punch. Let's go, let's go. Last one right here, walk it in four. Three.
You got it, one, walk. Oh, almost there, almost there. Because it wouldn't be a workout without all of us unless there's a tiny little finisher, yes? Yes. Separate those feet.
We're gonna do really quick feet. You just have to move your feet a little faster for 10 seconds. You got it. We can do that. Seconds, for sure.
Three. In two. As fast as you can with those feet, get your hands up right here. So, it's quick football feet. 10, 15 seconds on the clock.
Can you move just a tab bit faster? That's it, that's it, you have five more seconds. Get your hands up, four. Three. Two.
One. Awesome, crushed it. Yeah, that a girl! Awesome work. Everyone at home, 20 minutes.
If you're like, "Hey, 20 minutes flies by." Yes, it does, separate your feet apart. Roll the shoulders up, back down. I feel my entire upper body. Deep squat down. Reach your arms overhead, press 'em down.
Walk your feet together. Bring your right foot to your foot, a little bit of quad stretch. You just do a little bit of quad stretching with those hamstring curls. Yep. If you're feeling it a lot in the entire body, take a few extra minutes to cool yourself down.
Switch feet, left foot comes in your hand. Squeeze your knees together. Tuck that tailbone, squeeze the core. If you would like a little bit more balance challenge, arm reaches overhead. Deep breath in, deep breath out.
So we have 2,000 step walking workout, we have 3,000 step walking workout, and a 5,000 step walking workout. What's next? Maybe a 4,000 step walking workout. Bring your feet together, one last stretch 'cause I know I need it. Deep bend down all the way.
Reach those hands back down. You're gonna walk yourself out to a downward-facing dog position, 'cause hello. Backside of the calves, pedal it out. Side to side. Oh, that feels awesome.
Oh, thank you. What feels good in your body today, team? How does that feel, ladies? Awesome. Feels great.
Both heels press down in the mat. Hang on there for a second. Press your open armpits down to the mat. Really sink your heels down. Take a deep breath in.
Deep breath out, sink a little bit large in those heels. Oh, thank you. Nice job, walk your hands back to your feet. Roll up one vertebrae at a time. Head, neck, and shoulders are the last to come to the top.
All right, team, if you need a little bit of extra stretching, we do have 10 minutes, we got some yogas, take 'em. 20 minutes goes by so fast when you have great friends with you. Awesome work, 2,000 steps done. Thanks for joining us. Come again and join us next time.
Yes. Bye, bye.
It was Just wowww!!!! I love It! Thank You!
Love it!! Getting steps in and working my coordination. Will be doing this one more often.
Love the combinations, Sam!
I really enjoyed this one. Cam, your energy is inspiring! This one is good to challenge my coordination and work up a sweat in a short time. I smiled for most of it!
This was a great workout. It was easy for me to fit in between meetings to get some form of workout on a crazy day. Thank you.
I loved this--so fun! Great pace. I agree with another post--longer walking routines at this pace!
Great music and pace! Maybe a little bit longer video in the future? Thanks ladies!
Great workout! Got me moving and grooving. I'll have to check out the other ones. Nice pace, Sam is great!
Great music, kept me rocking to the beat! I sure was dancing even though they said it's not a dancing workout! I was even snapping my fingers! Keeping this one in my favs!
This was exactly what I needed after a 30 minute Pilates class. Awesome pace and great new combinations! I agree with Beth Anne and would love a 45 minute walking class with Sam leading. Thank you ladies, your energy made this fun!
