Walking Chicago’s Coastline — A 63-Mile Journey with Author Michael McColly | EP. 34

Author: Frank S. Ring December 8, 2025 Duration: 58:10
Author Michael McColly joins Frank to discuss his 63-mile walk across Chicago, the stories hidden in industrial landscapes, and the healing power of long-distance walking. Frank also shares a message for men about PSA testing and offers support for those facing prostate cancer.

Frank Ring knows a thing or two about putting one foot in front of the other. After a debilitating back injury forced him into a painful, months-long recovery, he found his path to healing through the simple, profound act of walking. That personal journey evolved into a mission, leading to books, programs, and now the Walking for Health and Fitness podcast. This isn't about extreme workouts or unattainable goals; it's a practical, encouraging conversation for anyone who wants to feel better, move with less pain, and build sustainable fitness from the ground up. In each episode, Frank draws from his own experience and research to discuss topics like proper walking form, integrating movement into a busy day, setting realistic goals, and the mental clarity that comes with a consistent routine. You'll hear straightforward advice, listener questions, and motivational stories that remind you that every journey begins with a single step. The podcast serves as an audio companion to his broader work, offering actionable tips and a supportive voice to help you walk your way toward a more balanced, healthy life, no matter your starting point. Tune in for honest talk about making lasting change, where the focus is on consistency over intensity and progress is measured one peaceful, powerful stride at a time.
