Mood in the dumps, slouched posture? Or is it the other way around? Maybe it’s a bit of both!

Have you ever found yourself walking on the treadmill feeling like you really should be running? Maybe you feel like you’re slacking off and guilt starts creeping in.

(By the way, there should be NO guilt in exercise — just moving your body earns you points!)

The real truth is that walking actually yields a ton of benefits when it comes to our aerobic fitness and strength… YES, even strength!

From how long to walk to how intensely you should be working, we’ve got all the latest research on this often—overlooked dynamo of a workout.

All of this is in our latest blog post, plus a delicious heart-healthy Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe — in case you were looking to amp up your nutrition too *wink, wink*.

Should we just stay calm and continue to get our organic on? Hold up.

We’re going to unmuddy the organic waters and give you some clarification around this confusing and slightly frustrating topic.

Delicious whole foods recipe included too of course—which may (or may not) be organic 😉
