| 0:00.0 | Today's 10 minute walk is helping you create a walking habit you will love. |
| 0:09.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. |
| 0:10.0 | I want to read this comment that was attached to a walking is fitness YouTube video. |
| 0:16.0 | Don't know the person's name. |
| 0:18.0 | They use the pseudonym Bing Lamb. Okay. I gave up my car at age 70, three years ago, |
