Going for a walk is a great form of exercise. It's one of my favorite activities, personally.

It gets even better when you have the right soundtrack. While that's different for everyone, the main buckets to choose from are the same. Here's where you can get inspired and have a productive walk:

1. Natural Sound

Walking through a nature trail

The first one is simple... Nothing at all! Nature itself has a soundtrack, especially if you're in a nature-filled environment with birds and wildlife. But even an urban setting has its own unique sounds that can be pleasing to take in if you give them a chance. So try removing the headphones and take it all in.

2. Apple Fitness+ Guides

Save yourself the $9.99 per month and start with a free trial first. If you don't like it, cancel. But if you do give it a go, you'll find it's wonderful to have a wide range of celebrities going for a walk with you. They're specifically designed for meditated, guided walks, and you get to know them a bit better too, including their favorite music which is played.

3. Your Favorite Music

Spotify

Whether it's a series of playlists that you cycle through, one big gigantic playlist you have on shuffle, or a radio-type offering with similar music to your favorite tastes, there's nothing like good ol' Spotify (or a service like it) to listen to your favorite music as you walk. Something come on that you're not in the mood for? Simply: Next.

4. Podcasts or Audio Books

There are TONS to choose from, and they'll make you feel well-informed or entertained while on the go. Here are some podcast options. You can also explore the offerings in your favorite audio app. Look for content based on your interests.

5. The Radio

Yes, the good ol' fashioned radio. Have a number of stations available to you on the go with an app like Audacy or pull up your favorite station's website & see how you can listen while going for a walk.

There might be other soundtracks, but the five options above are the best tried-and-true audio companions for a walk. Give them each a try and stick with what works for you!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
