Joyce Shulman - 99 Walks

03/12/22 • 24 min

Idea Junkie. Entrepreneur. Community Builder. Writer, Speaker, Podcaster. But, above and beyond all that - a Walker. Joyce Shulman is a force to be reckoned with and a fountain of knowledge and positivity with regard to all things walking.
Joyce quit her first job when when her law firm’s managing partner told her she couldn’t wear pants to work. And her personal and business story has blossomed since then. When it comes to powerful conversations with wise and wonderful people who walk then Joyce hits the nail on the head.
Joyce and her husband founded a movement called 99 walks. They on a mission to get a million women walking. They are sharing their love of movement and walking with monthly walking challenges, daily walking classes, an easy to use motivational app and much more. The real magic of 99 Walks is the community of women who lift each other up and inspire each other to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

"I have solved more problems, shaken off more stress, created more ideas, and lost more weight walking than through any other practice or habit. It has kept me sane, fit, and healthy." Joyce Shulman

Shane O'Mara - In Praise of Walking

Shane O'Mara is a neuroscientist and author who is currently Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin. When it comes to the ins and outs of our favourite activity there is simply no smarter man.
In this podcast we get to know more about Shane and his incredible book "In Praise of Walking". We talk in-depth about the value of walking, its influence on our history and its capacity to ensure our future personal and social survival and success.
A hymn to walking, the mechanical magic at the core of our humanity.

Shane O’Mara invites us to marvel at the benefits walking confers on our bodies and brains, and to appreciate the advantages of this uniquely human skill. From walking’s evolutionary origins, traced back millions of years to life forms on the ocean floor, to new findings from cutting-edge research, he reveals how the brain and nervous system give us the ability to balance, weave through a crowded city, and run our “inner GPS” system. Walking is good for our muscles and posture; it helps to protect and repair organs, and can slow or turn back the aging of our brains. With our minds in motion we think more creatively, our mood improves, and stress levels fall. Walking together to achieve a shared purpose is also a social glue that has contributed to our survival as a species.

As our lives become increasingly sedentary, O’Mara makes the case that we must start walking again―whether it’s up a mountain, down to the park, or simply to school and work. Shanes's book In Praise of Walking illuminates the joys, health benefits, and mechanics of walking, and reminds us to get out of our chairs and discover a happier, healthier, more creative self. To get a taster of all of this tune in to our podcast chat. It's a blinder!
