Today's bonus walk is helping you create a walking habit you're going to fall in love with.

I'm pretty convinced of that.

Hi, I'm Dave.

This is my second walk of the day, and that's actually going to be the focus of this bonus walk,

taking more than one walk each day and the benefits of doing that.

But before I dive in, I hope you had an opportunity to listen to the first episode from today.

Really important episode, if you have pushed pause on your walking habit for any reason at all and you're considering thinking about pondering

restarting or maybe you're in the early stages of restarting that walking habit and it's feeling

challenging maybe a little harder than you thought the episode from, I think, will be really encouraging for you.

And also offer some specific recommendations about how to make this restart successful and beneficial.

But during this bonus walk, I want to talk about the benefits of taking more than one walk a day.

This is actually a question that comes up from time to time, from listeners. Is it better to take one

long walk or to break it up into multiple shorter walks throughout the course of the day?

And actually both have benefits. But in this episode, I want to talk about the benefits of more than one walk.

And the benefits are actually pretty significant, especially this first benefit.

And that is when you take multiple walks during the day, you're breaking up sitting, which can be really dangerous.

And that is research-backed.

In fact, even if you take a walk every morning and then you spend the rest of the day sitting because of your job or perhaps it's a somewhat sedentary

lifestyle. That's just how your day rolls. There's actually dangers in that. And by the way,

I'm not a doctor, not a licensed personal trainer. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

So when you take more than one walk,

you are breaking up that sitting. You're reducing the dangers of sitting too much.
