It was time to repot this spider plant. 🪴 A reminder that sometimes we face upheaval in order to move towards something better. By removing what stops us from growth, we thrive.  ♥️ 

What small step you could take today to give yourself more room to grow? Ready for something new? Maybe today is the day to try it.

13 flights ✈️ and 21 days later we’ve got 23 new workouts filmed for the Step and Walk Across Australia and New Zealand Programs. We started our journey in Sydney with the iconic Sydney Opera House in the background, and we ended in Auckland, New Zealand with the iconic Sky Tower in the background. What an extraordinary trip!

Super excited for everyone to try these workouts in the new year. We’ve got lots of editing and reviewing next. You might be surprised at how much we thought about each of you as we filmed these new workouts.

What are you doing today to protect your beautiful heart? ♥️

Yesterday and today I can't start any video. There is the message "load video failed"

Is this only a problem by my smartphone or is something wrong with the app?

I already tried it with a restart, but the problem stayed

This time of year with back-to-school for many of us, can be a great time to start a fitness routine. We’ve got you covered with our Mini to Mighty series (Walk, Step, and Weights), or our Walk and Step Programs in America, Canada, and the UK. If you’d like to join our monthly fitness challenges, that is always an option, where workouts are posted for each day on the calander.

January 2026 we’ll add in Walk and Step Across Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico.

What are you doing to protect your beautiful heart? ♥️ We’re here for you every step of the way.

Dreaming of when we filmed Step and Walk workouts in Banff, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 the most magical experience across all our locations worldwide. There’s never a wrong time to prioritize our wellbeing. Protect your heart ♥️ so you can be there for the ones you love. Let’s move together, today! How will you protect your heart today? #workoutacrosstheworld

Feeling a little post-trip blues. 🩵 We thoroughly enjoyed our time filming Step and Walk Across Australia and New Zealand. It was challenging, and fun! There was laughter, tears, long talks about the our future dreams and hopes, joy meeting our worldwide fitness friends, and lots of work to make filming locations happen.

Also feeling a lot of gratitude. Monday, a few days after our return, I had a health scare. Fortunately, I was able to get right into my doctor, then right in for tests. Relieved to be all clear! 🙏 Life can change for any of us in an instant. We know that so deeply as a family when we got a knock on the door from the police about our oldest son.

Sending so much love 💕 and hope for the future to everyone. What’s one thing you’re grateful for today? (Photo: Sydney Opera House- Jenny and Frank)

Back home again! What a wonderful trip filming Step and Walk Across Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand.🇳🇿 The step workouts each have 2 combos. Lots of new fun moves built upon each other. The walking workouts have optional power pushes throughout the workouts to really optimize our time together. We also did film one Coast to Coast Step workout where each combo is in a different location of Australia and New Zealand. 🙌

The last two workouts pictured were in New Zealand where we filmed at Scandrett Regional Park with gorgeous sheep 🐑 and the beautiful ocean 🌊 in our background view.

Then finally in Auckland with the famous Sky Tower in the background. You’ll see one pic with Frank filming his step workout for kids while I coach him behind the camera. He filmed a 10 minute kids step workout in all locations. 🩵

We met up with another one of our fantastic fitness friends, Jill, in New Zealand. We met her lovely family, and she is an amazing glass artist. We purchased 3 of her beautiful glass rainbows 🌈 to display at home.

Last pic is our final flight home after traveling for over 24 hours. It’s great to be home, and we’re so excited for everyone to journey with us through Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico 🇲🇽 in the new year. 19 Step Workouts, 19 Walking Workouts, and a new Coast to Coast.

Nearing the end of our travels filming Step and Walk Across Australia and New Zealand. We’ve been moving rather fast, and I have a moment today to update. Darwin was more what we expected all of Australia to be like. We witnessed the most beautiful sunset we won’t soon forget. For filming we chose the iconic crocodile in the town Humpty Doo. Many people stopped to get a photo of this boxing croc. The heat was quite something as well! 🥵

Next we flew to Brisbane, our last place to film in Australia. We found a gorgeous spot with Story Bridge behind us. Later that evening me met up with lovely fitness friends Michelle and Mark. It was a joy 🤩 to meet them and get a pic in front of the Brisbane sign.

Then on to New Zealand. Our first stop was at the Whangarei Falls. Wow! What a beautiful space. On our flight from Brisbane to Auckland the airline lost one of my suitcases, and it was luckily found 36 hours later. (Of course it had all my exercise clothes and shoes in it!)

Our next location is in the mountains on New Zealand on the North Island. It was a stunning area!

Hoping to get 2 more locations and then we head home! 🇺🇸 Excited for these new programs and can’t wait for everyone to try them out!
