I discuss walking and its positive effect on blood circulation in the legs.
Part 1: Walking’s positive impact on circulationPart 2: Increased Blood Flow and the Effects on the VeinsPart 3: Walking and Adaptive Remodeling of the Leg Veins
Walking benefits blood circulation in the legs by engaging the leg muscles in rhythmic contractions, acting as a natural pump that facilitates the flow of blood back to the heart. This muscle action, coupled with the increased heart rate during physical activity, enhances the efficiency of the cardiovascular system, ensuring optimal oxygen and nutrient delivery to the leg muscles and surrounding tissues.
As walking requires constant movement, it helps prevent blood from pooling in the veins, reducing the risk of clot formation and promoting venous return. Furthermore, the overall cardiovascular benefits of walking contribute to healthier blood vessels, improving capillary function, and reducing peripheral resistance, all of which collectively support better blood circulation in the legs.

I speak with Fitz Koehler, fitness professional, race announcer, and breast cancer survivor. We discuss her book, My Noise Cancer Comeback.
Fitz goes into great detail in describing the seriousness of her breast cancer spreading like wildfire. Just six weeks earlier, she had a clean breast cancer scan. She holds nothing back in detailing the brutal effects chemotherapy took on her body. The Power of adrenaline and having a passion for her career. And fifteen months later, defeating cancer. ----Fitz Koehler BOOKS:My Noisy Cancer Comeback: https://amzn.to/40flgpmYour Healthy Cancer Comeback: Sick to Strong: https://amzn.to/3FvVtjcHealthy Cancer Comeback Journal: https://amzn.to/3QDKZER

Walking Logbook Journal Weekly Insights 1,2, and 3:https://tinyurl.com/YT-wlj-chapters----
While the side effects of the chemotherapy drugs for her breast cancer were worse than the symptoms of the cancer itself, Fitz's doctors knew they had to be aggressive in her treatment.
The "mean chemo" she endured included days of bedridden sickness, the inability to walk her dog for more than a few yards beyond her house, significant weight loss to her already lean body, chemo brain (forgetfulness), and how every hair on her body fell out!
Throughout her ordeal, Fitz continued to fulfill her race-announcing duties nationwide. From the Big Sur Marathon to the Buffalo Marathon and many races in between, Fitz used the passion for her work and the accompanying adrenaline rush to will her body into action to give "her athletes" the best possible race day experience.
Fitz was determined to continue doing the thing she loves, and she how race announcing is the best job in the world and to continue her business, www.fitzness.com.
Fitz Koehler's advice for anyone facing cancer:
• Perspective: don't "why me" it• Pursue your passions; do not stay home. "Include living in your life because that's what you're fighting for. " • Control what you can. You can weaponize fitness and nutrition to help you through your ordeal. This increases your chance of remission and decreases your chance of recurrence.
Fitz also teaches that it's essential to be in the best shape because you never know when illness or accident will impact your life.
The more fit you are, the better your chance of surviving the illness and quicker you will recover from it.
If you are just diagnosed with cancer, here are Fitz's recommendations:
• Having perspective: Before her diagnosis, she used the words "at least it's not cancer" to put life's irritations into perspective. After her diagnosis, she still uses perspective to cope by saying, "At least my children don't have cancer."
• Why it's essential to stay fit during cancer treatment. The "mean" chemo took a toll on Fitz, yet when she was able to, she did fitness activities such as walking to keep her body moving.
Her exceptional fitness level before her diagnosis was why she only had one overnight hospital stay. As her doctor said, "I know you are suffering, but you are living your life and having adventures the most perfectly healthy people don't have. If you were not in shape before his ordeal, you would have been hospitalized for at least a month.
• Harnessing the power of adrenaline and doing what you love. Fitz's advice to her audiences is to love what you do. Your passion may be what leads to the cure for cancer.
• Have a goal: we joked about how Killer Hill played a role in her recovery.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. -Bruce Lee
Have you ever been to a funeral and heard a eulogy that resonated with you? Then, the details were lost to you a day or two later. Then, maybe you eventually remembered one thing from the eulogy.
Or sometimes, there is no eulogy at all. A person lives their whole life, and in the end, their family and friends pay their respects by visiting the funeral home, and that’s it. There may be some pictures around during the wake, and if you were close to the person, you might be in a few of them.
I didn’t want that to happen to my mother. I wanted her to be remembered as the special person she was. But I didn’t want to recap her life. The people at her funeral knew her.
I wanted them to know the woman that raised me and my siblings and how she lived her life by a set of unwritten principles or what I called her life lessons.

I talk about how to perfect your walking form with STEPS and why walking good form is essential, and I’ll give you my STEPS acronym you can easily remember that will give you the perfect walking form.
The proper walking form is vital to your health and fitness. You’ll walk with less effort, breathe more deeply to take more oxygen into your respiratory system and reduce your risk of injury.
Walking speed is a powerful indicator of vitality: Walking speed studies show that a person's pace, along with their age and gender, can predict their life expectancy just as well as the complex battery of other health indicators, such as blood pressure, body mass index, chronic conditions, and smoking history.
Good walking form will also allow you to walk faster.

There are two kinds of pedestrians... the quick and the dead. Thomas Dewar
That might sound like a shocking quote to begin a podcast but it’s deadly serious and necessary.
In 2021, there were nearly 7,500 pedestrian deaths in the United States, equivalent to roughly 20 deaths each day. Let me repeat that, in 2021, there were nearly 7,500 pedestrian deaths, equivalent to roughly 20 deaths each day.
It's a major part of a growing problem which has seen a steadily increasing trend of pedestrian deaths.
More and more, both drivers and pedestrians are distracted.

So, let’s focus and learn what we can do to avoid distractions on the roads to stay safe and put these safety practices into action.
Taking precautions is a must when walking. Let’s face it, you most likely will be walking in your neighborhood and whether urban, suburban, or rural, a good deal of the time you will be walking on or very near a road.

Fact: Nearly 70 percent of all pedestrian accidents happen at night.
