Let me tell you about my first real workout in years—it was… walking in a circle. Yep. At the YMCA. On a cushioned track. Over and over and over again.
At first, it felt almost embarrassing. Was this even a workout? I wasn’t sweating buckets or gasping for air. But it was the first thing I found that didn’t wreck my joints or leave me limping the next day.
For two years, I walked that track 3-5 days a week with my husband. No gym intimidation, no pain, no fancy equipment—just us and our sneakers. I walked the circle while he lifted weights and the magic? I actually looked forward to it.
Sometimes the “best workout” isn’t the one that burns the most calories—it’s the one you can actually keep doing.
