    This was a good fun and fast-paced work got a little over 1 mile in. I am from Nashville; TN the music so was point.

  10. Katja Pfriem

    Wonderful, inspiring workout - and as this is music that is dear to my heart I wanted to confirm that yes - the music from about 1/4 to 1/2 of the workout is indeed Vivaldi from the 4 Seasons composition and the music right after that Shannon thought was a Christmas tune is actually "Ode to Joy" - quite fitting - the European Hymn. Happy walking.

Hey, hey, get healthy you TV squad. I'm Chris Pricetag and I am here today to speed walk with you. Yeah, OK, but guess what? I brought my friends, Miss Shannon, hey, hey, and Tara, hey, and we are ready to speed walk. So as you notice we're already walking because this is quick.

This is down and dirty. This is 20 minutes, so we'll see how many steps we get in now we're walking it just a little faster than a 4 mile per hour pace and since we're just not moving, you know, like when you're outside it's hard to do 4 MPH, but since we're just in here marching, we can keep this pace, so get your feet moving. Now you might notice we're moving to the uh strings today. Oh yeah, so little Bach and Beethoven, I mean, less soothing, let's change it up. I love it.

So we'll see how far we go today. It's 20 minutes. We got some fun steps today. When in doubt, walk it out. That's always our motto.

Keep it moving, use those arms. Let's go right here. It's right, left, right, left. Now honestly, it doesn't matter which foot you're on. If you get toiled during this workout, just, you know, get back on that right foot, see what you can do.

432, let's breathe right here all the way up. Exhale, it's gonna be a good day. Inhale, exhale out all that stress. You have decided to spend 20 minutes with us, so let's do this. Hold on right here, roll those shoulders back, take the tension out of your neck.

Woo, I'm ready. How about you guys? Yeah, 20 minutes. Let's do it. We were all even saying that just short, down and dirty sometimes it feels good.

OK, let's round our backs. Round 2 open 2 round 2 open 2 round. And open one more round. And open, walk it out right here. Just walk it, walk it.

This music is kind of fun for a change of pace. I like it. It's fun. OK, now take it wide, wide. 43, we're going to squat right here.

Let's go to squat. Oh, hello hips and knee, hips and knees down, up, down, up, let's go. 4, yes you can. 3, we had to throw a few of these in. 2.

One, walk it out right here. All right, Easy warm up. We don't really need to warm up. We don't really have a modifier because this is just your basic walking workout. Yes.

All right, I'm I already off the top of the beat? I think it keeps changing. I got, I got, we got you. OK, right, right, that was bugging. OK, here we go.

We're gonna walk it forward and walk it back like this. Let's go walk it, then take it back. So you don't even add a tap in there. You just walk forward steps, walk it back. We got it.

See, even we get off the right foot sometimes. It's all good. It's all good. Keep walking, you're fine. Keep moving.

Pick those feet up, pick them up, check your space, by the way, if you're in your living room or your family room, make sure you're not gonna step on a trip over on a toddler toy or a dog toy. I've stepped on a dog bone before, let me tell you, stepping on a Lego Lego I say those are the worst. Lego is the worst thing right there. OK, one more take it forward. Take it back.

Now hold it here and walk it out and walk it. Good, now out, out, in, in, out in, out, in. We got it. OK, feeling good team. So now we're gonna walk it forward, out, out, in, in, walk it back out, out, in, in.

Here we go, just walk it now out, out in inhale, you got it, got it and in. Come on, walk it. Notice how we are pumping our arms. Get that whole body involved. Keep your corred tight, stand tall.

Look ahead, nice posture, right? Chris. Let's go. When you stand tall, it improves your mood too. Yes, for sure it does.

And of course walking with girlfriends improves your mood. Oh, it sure does. I love it. Let's do it one more time to. Let's go up right there, bring it back.

Boom, walk it out right here. So far so good loving it it love it feels good. 3, we're gonna lift our knees knee lifts, so right, left, opposite arm punches, right, left, good, right, left or left right, whatever works for you. All right, now punch it to this guy. Oh, looks like you're skipping, doesn't it?

Right there, 4321 arm forward. Go, 4321 arm up, go 432, forward, 43. Up, get ready to take it forward, team. Here we go. Forward, out, out in, in.

Here we go, here we go, knees, come on. Right there, one arm up, go. Yes. Nice. Are you breathing?

Yep, good. Thanks for checking in on us. yep, we got it. Go walk it out just making sure you're OK. Good.

OK, so we're keeping this pace. You don't have to overdo it, you know, sometimes people look at the workouts and they go, Oh, I'm not sure what I'm not feeling it today. When in doubt, walk it out, you guys just push play on a walking workout. You'll feel better. Always right here for sure.

Come on, and you would be surprised. We're really using those legs. I like my backside feeling this pick up those feet, pick them up. All right, so here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go 123 heel dig, 123 heel dig.

You're good, yeah. I'm just making sure we've got that right leg right here, right. All right, there we go, we're on the top of the beat. All right, here we go. Hold on in 43, right, I'll count it like this 123 heel dig, 123 heel dick.

Join us right there, boom, little level change right there, sink into it a little bit. Come on, yeah, keep those abs tight. Let's go. Let's go. You got it.

123 now. We're gonna take you to a knee lift. Are you ready? Yes, we are. 123, knee lift.

Now step back, boom. Yeah, take it into kind of a walking step. Oh, look at that, look at that. We got it. It's step aerobics, right?

It is kind of like we're stepping up on a platform. Yes, you're right. Yes, you could imagine you had a platform right there. Let's go now opposite elbow and boom. Boom, little core action.

We got it. Come on, come on. I'm actually really feeling that twist. Love it. hey then.

OK, let's go, double, double, double, double. Feels about right with music. I think I should be like skipping around right now, right? We should be skipping if you want to skip at home, skip around your living room. It's good.

432, walk it wide right left right left. Good. You got it back to normal walking. We're right there. Awesome.

That was just a little interlude. OK, now let's use that lateral motion, right, that frontal plane. Good for your brain to move forward and back and side to side. Check your area. If you don't have a lot of space, you don't need it.

We're going to grapevine right and grapevine left and 4 and 3 and 2, let's go. It's right. Like Got it. I know this song kind of just makes me wanna get all gallop. Let's go.

Let's go team. Now we're gonna add on to this grapevine, so you're gonna have to think So on that 4 we're gonna add a knee lift and then we're gonna continue on with 3 total knee lifts. It's a total 8 count, but don't get too concerned with it. Yeah, we're just gonna let the spoke a different language to some people. Some people at home are like, What are you talking about?

OK, so you're gonna lift your knee on the 4. 4, then we'll add 2 more knee lifts, but hold tight. We just had to get this. This works out there, you got it at home. Keep trying.

It's just that extra knee lift. So So OK, now back to what I said, 3 newless. OK, hold on. Hold on, we gotta. You gotta count it out.

Everybody will be different. Don't match your watch to me. No, our steps are different and your step counter is not going to get all the knee lifts right when our hands are up necessarily and whatnot. So use this as a something that motivates you, but that don't hang your hat on it. But I'm feeling good right now.

Open up. Around your back. One more Around your back. Open up good and slow those feet down. Oh, awesome job.

Let's just step on one leg if you can hold your balance. Bring that knee down, push forward through that hip, feel that stretch. That was really fun music. That was like that Beethoven baldy. I'm not, I'm not a, a classical buff by any means, but something different, kind of fun.

Oh, How about a little side stretch I like it, yeah. Oh, come up and out of your way. Oh, feels good. And then other side. Oh my goodness.
