Today's bonus walk is helping you build a walking habit you will love.

Hi, I'm Dave. Hope you heard the episode from earlier today asking the question,

does walking help you sleep better? Bring some research to the conversation, and I think it's a fascinating

topic, and sleep is one of those issues that I have struggled with over the years, starting,

I guess primarily because of my work schedule as a morning DJ for years, decades, really kind of messed up my

sleep pattern and sleep routine and still in process of making my sleep better, more effective,

more efficient, more quality sleep. Anyhow, does this walk help you and me sleep better?

That's what I talk about in the episode that released earlier today. Hope you had an opportunity

to hear that. In this bonus walk, I want to issue a challenge. Can you walk 10 minutes every day for 30 days? Now before you say, oh yeah,

absolutely, piece of cake, got that. I have good news and I have bad news. The good news are the

benefits that come from walking every day, the health benefits, reducing the risk

of an early death. And I know that can sound so abstract. You know, to some degree, it's like,

so. I mean, I like the idea, but it really doesn't mean anything to me today.

But these walks also reduce the risk of all those things that lead that can lead to an early death.

By the way, I'm not a doctor.

But this walk, these daily walks, lower the risk

of heart disease, of certain cancers, dementia, type 2 diabetes. These walks also can calm anxiety,

helping us to manage stress better. These walks also have an impact on our brain

and how we think and how creative we can be.

And these walks can help us lose weight
