Last August, we held the First Ever Prime Cuts August Walkabout to promote the health benefits of daily walking.
People from all over the world participated and we helped spur new healthy habits and reinforce existing ones.
We are doing it again and taking it to the next level. We want to foster enduring good health habits and have fun doing it!
Enter The Meat Mafia
This year, I am pleased to announce a collaboration in this endeavor with The Legendary Meat Mafia!!
A couple months back I was a guest on The Meat Mafia Podcast and, while they’re younger and have a slightly different focus, we discovered that we share a common primary motivation which is:
We Want to Inspire People to Get Healthy, Learn, and Have Fun Doing It!
With @MrSollozzo & @CarniClemenza of The Meat Mafia on board, we will span generations and get people out there discovering the profound positive effects of simply walking.
Walking: Superpower and Gateway Drug
Walking is an underrated super powerful habit for all ages and a gateway drug to other healthy activities. We walk and it feels great and then we want to do other stuff that’s good for our body and mind.
The Walkabout works like this: We will take a walk everyday for the month of August, rain or shine, and invite everyone to join in! We’ll post pics on Twitter and root each other on.
The Rules are simple:
Take a walk everyday in August.
If you miss a day, there’s no penalty. Just walk the next day.
Tell your friends and fams and invite them to participate.
Cheer each other on!
There is no fee and you don’t have to sign up for anything.
A Bit More About Walking Superpowers
Walking is so unassuming that people take it for granted and maybe don’t realize the superpower force of doing it daily.
But really it’s great and the most natural and basic movement there is for humans. We are bipeds. We walk.
Here’s a list… Walking can:
Spur Creativity
Enhance Mood
Help Keep Us Lean
Improve Coordination
Increase Flexibility
Boost Our Immune System
Increase Lifespan
Reduce Arthritis
Lower Blood Pressure
Foster Mindfulness
Lead to More Healthy Habits
And More!!
Seems crazy that such a seemingly modest habit can do so much but that is the elegance and genius of simple goodness in a complicated world.
