Ree Drummond has no problem getting her steps in—her driveway goes on for a while! Whether she’s taking the dogs for a stroll around the ranch or joined by her daughter Alex on daily walks with baby Sophia, the Drummond family's approach to fitness is simple: comfortable shoes, plenty of water, and practical accessories that make getting outside easier.
She’s long relied on her favorite On Cloud brand of sneakers for days on her feet while Alex recently shared that walking became a go-to workout during pregnancy because it was manageable, enjoyable, and easy to fit into her routine. Even her second daughter Paige Drummond and her husband enjoy ranch walks taking their new puppy Murphy out to meet all of friendly animals on the grounds earlier this year.
Still, you don’t need that much space to hit your stride this summer and you don’t have to pound the pavement for long to reap the results. Regular 10-minute walks can have a real, positive impact on your body and mind, and even add years to your life. Bring along a friend (four-legged if you prefer!) or a great podcast and enjoy the time outside. Need more motivation for hitting the road? Check out the Drummonds’ go-to walking essentials that combine comfort, convenience, and a few trendy extras that make every outing a little more fun.
Keep moving with the Drummonds:
Ree has long been a fan of On Cloud sneakers, and the recently upgraded On Cloud 6 delivers the same lightweight comfort that made the brand one of her favorites. With cushioned soles, breathable mesh, and convenient speed laces, these sneakers are ideal for everything from neighborhood walks to long days spent on your feet.
Want to add a little extra challenge to your daily stroll? These 1lb Bala Bangles make it easy to incorporate light resistance training into your walks without changing your routine. Simply strap them onto your wrists or ankles and let every step work a little harder!
Don’t forget to hydrate, especially on a summer walk! The Owala FreeSip bottle makes it easy to drink while on the go. The lid lets you either sip through the built-in straw or take larger swigs through the wide-mouth opening, while the insulated design keeps drinks cold for hours.
Summer walks can get hot quickly, especially during peak afternoon temperatures. Alex loves this portable rechargeable fan to keep her and baby Sophia cool. It’s compact enough to toss into a bag and provides instant relief whenever you need a cool breeze.
Alex has shared that walking is one of her favorite forms of exercise during pregnancy. While she has gravitated toward hands-free sneaker brands like Kizik, the Skechers Women's Sport Active Flex Step offers a budget-friendly alternative with the same easy-on, easy-off convenience.
A hands-free bag is essential when you're walking. Whether you're carrying your phone, keys, sunscreen, or even dog treats for a four-legged companion like Paige's pup Murphy, the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag keeps everything organized without weighing you down.
From cattle work to walks outside with Ree and the family, Ladd Drummond rarely slows down. So, a dependable pair of sunglasses is a must. The Oakley Holbrook XL combines a timeless design with polarized lenses and all-day comfort. They’re a practical pick for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors.
No summer walking routine is complete without sun protection. This lightweight sunscreen absorbs quickly, won't leave a greasy residue behind, and provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 coverage. Toss it in your belt bag so you're always prepared for a little extra time outdoors.
The Drummonds are always walking with their dogs and they need hydration too! The Bonza Collapsible Dog Bowl is lightweight and since it folds flat, its travel-friendly. The carabiner is easy to clip onto a leash, backpack, or belt bag. Plus, the BPA-free silicone construction is durable enough for everyday adventures.
