This 15-minute walking workout is packed with 80s one-hit wonder stories and facts that make the time fly. The actual 80s songs aren't included (you know - copyright), but the stories behind them? So interesting.

You can walk outside or at home on a treadmill or walking pad. Either way, you’ll get 1500+ steps in without staring at the clock.

This is one of those walks where you’ll look up and go… wait, we’re already done?

There’s background walking music to keep your pace, and a bell at the halfway point so you know when to turn around (if you want to).

And because this never stays completely on track (obviously)… you’ll hear about

• the time I confidently asked for “You Dropped a Load on Me” at a record store (yes… really)
• why Michael Jackson randomly shows up in one of the biggest one-hit wonder songs
• the phone number that disrupted people’s lives (hi, Jenny)
• the weirdest music videos you forgot existed
• and the one 80s song I absolutely cannot stand (sorry in advance)

Plus we uncover sneaky details about:

• Take On Me
• Come On Eileen
• Safety Dance
• 99 Luftballons

…and a few more that will instantly transport you to the most amazing decade of all time (fight me if you don't agree).

So if you need:

• a quick walk
• a mood boost
• something fun to listen to
• or just a reason to get up and move

Grab your shoes. Let's get walking.

And if one of these songs gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day… you’re welcome.
