Hi friends. I'm on my way to work. A little after 4 in the morning, just got off the Baltimore

Beltway, which can really be dangerous at this time of day because there aren't too many cars on the

road. So some drivers feel the freedom to go really, really, really fast, and it's not uncommon

to have somebody go whipping past me at 80, 90, I think even 100 miles an hour.

There's also a section of the Bellway where they're doing some construction,

and they have those concrete barriers up, and I'm telling you, they're like inches,

Walking is Fitness, a podcast designed to help you transform your life by walking more and walking more intentionally.

That thing that is dangerous that I'm doing right now is actually sitting.

And I'm not kidding. There's a growing body of research that indicates just how dangerous sitting is for our health.

If we sit too much or if we sit for too long. In fact, one expert has called sitting the new smoking.

And this week on walking is fitness, I'm going to give you three ideas, three ways to help

you move more and sit less and create that as a lifestyle.

And at the end of the podcast, I'm going to invite you to take a 30-day

walking challenge. This really will go a long way to help you create that lifestyle. It's a free

guide, and I'll tell you how to get that at the end of the podcast. I also want to say thank you.

Thank you for listening. I know that you have a ton of podcast choices

and that you would spend a few minutes of your valuable time listening to walking as fitness

really does mean a great deal to me. If you enjoy the podcast and subscribe, you'll get every
