Walking for exercise
The fitness instructor at the front of your studio—or on your screen—might look invincible. They perform dozens of burpees (in a row) or pedal their spin bikes at breakneck speeds, all while somehow keeping smiles on their faces and doling out motivational mantras. But as Charlee Atkins, founder of Le Sweat, says on
The Well+Good Podcast, "On the other side of it...you're just like breaking down, hitting a wall."
After eight years as a SoulCycle instructor, some days spending over four hours on the bike, Atkins says her body couldn't take it anymore. Her hips were "crunchy," she says. Because the fact of the matter is, this type of all-out exercise regimen just doesn't work—it isn't good for your body and it isn't good for your spirit.
