Let’s go for a walk! In this episode we explore the benefits of a daily activity that most of engage in – if we can - without thinking. It certainly doesn’t require a gym membership or special equipment.
Fitness coaches Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna explore evidence that regular walking supports cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, and lifespan—without the joint strain of running.
In our latest Move For Life conversation, we discuss why technique matters: how foot strike, posture, arm swing, and appropriate footwear can enhance the benefits and reduce the risk of injury; how adding weights, poles, or varied terrain can turn walks into full-body, social workouts that build strength and balance.
The takeaway: accessible, low-impact movement that fits daily life can meaningfully improve healthspan.
You should seek medical advice before embarking on a new exercise.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
