More Than Sweat
More Than Sweat is a natural extension of Brook Benten's 2024 book, "Sweat with Brook Benten." In both, Brook encourages movement and emboldens humans to go at hard things with gumption.
With every word of every episode and every page of the book, she guides her audience to a world of well-being where worth has nothing to do with a workout.
She encourages listeners to walk as they tune in to episodes. In season one, every episode is synchronized to music to guide a walking pace.
But the message is always more than sweat.
This podcast exists to guide growth.

More Than Sweat
Episode 4 -Four Pillars to Make Healthy Habits Stick (128-154 Steps/Min)
You’ve probably heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit. The length of time it takes to establish a habit actually fluctuates, not surprisingly, with the quickest habits being things that you like doing.
But you won’t like doing every healthy habit. So, how do you make those an automatic part of your lifestyle, anyway?
Maybe you’ve heard it’s like training a puppy. That’s cute. A puppy will do anything, from sitting on command to going potty outside, for a snack, a nuzzle, a cheap toy, or your attention. Adorable. That’s not you. You are less like a puppy than you are an old goat.
Learn a lot in a little time about goats and a lot about how you can make healthy habits stick by building these four strong pillars.
Join Brook on this passionate walk-and-talk, where the first 3:30 will be spent walking at 128 steps-per-minute (4 MPH), then accelerate to 154 steps-per-minute (5 MPH) for 5:30, and finish the rest of the 20 (eh, 25)-minute walk at 128 steps-per-minute.
Don’t miss the commentary after “done-zo.”
