Walk 1 mile in about 15 minutes while we time-travel back to the 80s for a fun blast of Gen X fitness nostalgia.

You can do this at-home walking workout anywhere: March in your living room, hop on a treadmill or walking pad, or just take it outside. It’s the podcast to listen to while walking.

Hit play if you want:

• A quick 1-mile walk
• Easy cardio at home that fits into your busy day
• About 1500 steps
• A fast way to improve your mood and shake off stress

(Walking outside? There’s a bell at the halfway point so you know when to turn around!)

Along the way, we chat about the best (and weirdest) 1980s fitness crazes, including:

• Jane Fonda and her living-room workouts
• Richard Simmons and all that oldies joy
• Gin Miller and the rise of step aerobics (pun intended)
• Jazzercise, Callanetics, and the whole “feel the burn” era
• Suzanne Somers and the ThighMaster that had us all squeezing in our living rooms
• The Crystal Light National Aerobics Championship

Plus, my ADHD brain takes a few detours into: shin splints, unitards, Flashdance, Olivia Newton-John, the flat chest and flat booty goal, and that you should drink water (and not vodka) afterwards.
