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 5- Four Non-Fiction Books You’ve Just Got to Read (128-90 steps/min easy walk)
National Book-Lovers Day was earlier this week. We’re celebrating by walking and talking about Brook’s favorite non-fiction books for self-improvement.
Expect the walking pace to be easier than episodes 1-4. This one starts as a power walk at 128 steps-per-minute (approx 4MPH/15-minute mile), but soon drops to 90 steps-per-minute (a smidge over 3MPH/20-minute mile).
Brook will recommend her four favorite non-fiction books for self-improvement (and reveal a lot of personal information along the way) and add on a bonus heavy-but-highly recommended book.
Here they are, along with podcasts that discuss the books to give you additional great listens for your walking workouts!
