Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent. Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk.

Today I want to talk a little bit about a, I don't know how else to put it, a walking renaissance

that I'm enjoying right now.

So I love walking.

It's been my primary fitness activity since 2013.

I'm passionate about it.

Started this podcast more than three years ago to motivate others to get out and walk a little bit more, sit a little bit less.

It began a YouTube channel to do the same thing as well as to invite those who are curious about walking to check out the podcast and actually take action. I love walking,

but I think if I'm being honest, and I'm going to be, because there's really no reason,

there's no reason otherwise not to be. Over the last, probably year or so, I haven't really thought about the time frame,

but that kind of feels about right. Over the last year or so, I think walking became more

of a have to and a little less of a get to.

In other words, it was something that I have to do.

In other words, it was something that I have to do.

And that's driven by the health implications,

the investment in my long-term health. I'm getting older and I'm feeling that.

And so the idea of aging well is even more important now than it's ever been.

And so these walks for all the benefits that research indicates we get when we commit to walking consistently, perhaps even every day,

these benefits just feel even more important because I'm feeling the impact of aging. I'm feeling

older than I used to feel and I want to age. I want to age strong. And so I probably as I'm

thinking through and analyzing what I've been feeling and experiencing, that's become more of a

driver. And then also this podcast, the Walking is Fitness YouTube channel
