Today's 10 minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent.

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk.

Actually, you're going to be doing most of the walking today because I want to share with you an email from Daniel.

And this is powerful. The impact of walking. Daniel is experiencing this firsthand.

And I think you're going to find this really encouraging. By the way, I want to mention that I'm not a doctor.

A licensed personal trainer,

this podcast is for education and entertainment purposes only. And so as I'm sharing this email,

I'm actually going to stop walking while I read this. Daniel writes, not sure where this

comment will end up, but I feel you are saving my life

more or less. I'm 68 years old tomorrow. October 22nd, 2022, I had a heart attack, and the next day,

I had a triple bypass. I never believed in rehab as having been a supervisor in trucking freight companies, I grew

to believe it was just one of the many excuses that were given to keep from working.

But after having my heart event, I came to fully appreciate my rehab and cherish the time I had with those folks as they literally brought about my return to normalcy after this crushing medical emergency.

In my last job, a pre-retirement job, I walked a great deal, probably 10,000 steps a day,

and I prided myself on that.

But after a year of sedentary living, then having had the heart attack, I was hopefully saved by the surgery, but if I didn't work to keep things up, I knew

it wouldn't last for long. So I was all good during the first year after the heart attack,

but then last winter I was back to making excuses and had all kinds available.

When spring came, all that sitting had led to severe joint pain,

and so I now really had something to worry about.

Then my son, who lives and commutes into Detroit, asked me repeatedly if I listen to any podcasts.

Long story short, I hadn't listened to many, but somehow I found walking his fitness.
