This Morning Walk podcast invites you to experience the transformative power of a simple walk, now part of Blind Nil Audio from Executive Producers Chip and Joanna Gaines.
Join hosts Alex Elle and Libby DeLana as they share the lessons they’ve learned on their walking paths, both individually and together.
Alex - A New York Times BestSelling Author and writing coach living in DC with her husband and daughters - and Libby - a Creative Director based on both coasts with grown children - started This Morning Walk Podcast to reflect on the ways a daily walk keeps them grounded in their day-to-day lives. As Alex likes to say - “It’s deeper than walking. It’s about slowing down, looking up, and finding clarity in your daily life.”
It’s a practice. A mindset. A way forward. And ultimately, it’s a new path.

Discovering Your "Movement Diet" with Katy Bowman
Biomechanist and Author Katy Bowman describes how a movement diet, just like a food diet, is important for nourishing our bodies and maintaining optimal health. Just like we need a balanced diet of macronutrients and micronutrients for optimal health, Katy speaks with Libby about how we also need a variety of movements to nourish our bodies. In this practical episode, she suggests adding different movements to our walking routine, such as carrying weight, making movements with our hands, and incorporating strength-building exercises. They explore the concept of movement as a tool that needs to be cared for and maintained, and Katy introduces her new workbook, 'My Perfect Movement Plan,' which helps listeners create a personalized movement routine based on their unique needs and goals.
