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 6- Walk, Squat, and Lunge (128 steps/min)
Hi, It’s Brook!
I know so many women who say they’d workout if they had the time, equipment, and knew what to do. Today’s Sweat Like a Mother podcast is 5-minutes of walking, 5-minutes of bodyweight-only squats, 5-minutes of walking, 5-minutes of bodyweight-only lunges.
That’s it!
20-minutes. No equipment. I tell you what to do and even though it’s mega-super-whazzawhazza wow effective, it’s suitable for all fitness levels. (I do this stuff for a living, and I’m on day three of soreness from this workout right now!)
It can be done indoors, walking in place, if the heat where you’re at is like 105 (thousand) degrees, as it is in Texas.
The podcast is audio-only. You’d be able to understand what to do just by my verbal cues. But I’m a visual and kinesthetic learner, and I thought maybe you are, too. So I made this YouTube video to guide you through the workout. It’s the audio from the podcast with a visual demonstration.

Enjoy this Barbie-inspired light but sweaty Sweat Like a Mother episode!
