0:00.0	You ever wondered how many steps you can get if you park in the back of a parking lot?
0:06.0	Hi, this is Dave, and I am right now in a Walmart neighborhood market parking lot.
0:12.4	This is one of their grocery stores, so not one of the mega huge Walmarts.
0:17.1	I would say this is a medium-sized parking lot, and am now in the very last space and I'm going to I'm going to test this and see just how many steps, how many extra steps I can get by parking in this last space. So we'll check my Fitbit and right now I have 5,036 steps and let's begin walking.
0:42.2	So when I began walking as fitness.com two years ago, the idea was to help you walk more
0:49.4	and walk more intentionally and really build a fitness habit through walking.
0:54.8	I believe that walking is exercise, hiding in plain sight.
0:59.0	And I promised myself that one of the things I would never do was offer the advice of

1:30.5	All right, I'm approaching the entrance to the Walmart. And let's check the Fitbit now.
1:38.2	5,146, so about 110 steps. And so round trip, going back back to my car it's maybe about 200 extra steps if you park
1:50.1	in the back of the parking lot but again that's not the reason why I'm going to strongly recommend
1:56.1	you park in the back of the parking lot.
2:03.2	You want to find out what that reason is?
2:04.4	Stay with us.
2:05.3	Let's get started.
2:09.6	It still makes me laugh.
2:13.8	Ava and I were both signed up to participate in the Baltimore Running Festival.
