Hi friends. I'm feeling a little silly right now.

I'm actually walking through our neighborhood, which does not have sidewalks, so I have to walk in the street.

And I'm talking, and so anyone who happens to see me, it looks like there's this guy walking through the neighborhood talking to himself.

And that makes me feel silly.

Hi, this is Dave, and welcome to walking is fitness, a podcast designed to help you transform your life

by walking more and walking more intentionally. You ever feel silly? Maybe it's not because

you're walking through the neighborhood talking to yourself, but how about when you

exercise? You ever feel silly? I do. And this week we're going to look at several reasons why

fitness sometimes feel silly. Now, if that's something you've never experienced, good on you.

But for some of us, it can actually be a deal breaker.

At minimum, for me, it's distracting.

Kind of like right now, as I'm walking.

I'm also looking around.

Is there anybody who can see me?

Oh, there's somebody over there.

It can be distracting. And when I'm distracted, my workout, my exercise just isn't very effective.

Well, that's no good. So this week we're going to look at several reasons why fitness feels silly and what you can do about it.

Uh-oh, here comes somebody backing out of the driveway right in front of me.

Yeah, I'm feeling kind of silly.

Oh, and they're coming this way.

All right, well, here we go.

I'll just give a friendly little wave. Good morning. All right, well, here we go.
