| 0:00.0 | Today I want to talk about five ways that walking can help you lose weight. |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you |
| 0:13.0 | with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, and even more importantly, I believe, to build a life-changing walking habit. Today's 10-minute walk |
| 0:22.3 | starts right after this. So I found this interesting, certainly didn't plan it. Today's topic, |
| 0:34.1 | five ways that walking can help you lose weight, had been planned for about a week. |
| 0:40.1 | And this morning, as I was reading my breakfast book, there was a couple of sentences about someone |
| 0:47.9 | who used walking to lose weight. It's like, oh, well, check that out. So real quick, the whole, I mention a |
| 0:57.5 | breakfast book, I love to read while I'm eating breakfast. And most mornings I'm eating breakfast |
| 1:05.6 | alone. I'm up early, Ava is not. And I love reading and over the last couple of years I've gotten into |
| 1:13.6 | this routine where I have a book that I only read while I'm eating breakfast. And usually |
| 1:21.9 | I don't linger too long at the breakfast table. I might be able to read two, three, maybe four pages. |
| 1:30.3 | So if it is a longer book and my breakfast books tend to be a little longer, |
| 1:36.3 | it can actually take me a couple to several months to go through one book while I'm eating breakfast. Anyhow, the book that I'm reading right now is written by Dwight Chapin. |
| 1:48.0 | He worked in the Nixon administration, President Richard Nixon, |
| 1:53.0 | and for a time he was actually the personal aid to the president. |
| 1:59.0 | Anyhow, he ended up getting sent to prison because of Watergate, |
| 2:05.6 | and I'm in that section of the book where he's talking about his time in prison. |
| 2:11.6 | And among other things, he tried to use that, he was in prison for nine months. And he says he tried to use that time for good. |
| 2:19.3 | And he mentioned in the section that I was reading today that one of the things that he started |
| 2:24.3 | doing while he was in prison was exercising. |
| 2:28.3 | And he said, I walked so much on the track, I guess in the prison yard, he said, I walked so much on the track, I guess in the prison yard. |
| 2:35.9 | He said, I walked so much that I lost 25 pounds. |
