| 0:00.0 | So how do you feel about commercials? |
| 0:05.0 | Do you like them? Do you find them entertaining? Do you find them an annoyance? Or are they an opportunity? |
| 0:14.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast, providing you with a little added motivation to get out the door, |
| 0:22.5 | take the walk, and hopefully to do that consistently. |
| 0:26.8 | Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this. |
| 0:36.4 | It is a rainy day in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. One of the things I've learned over the years is to gear up so that when weather is not inviting, or what I would typically call inviting to get out and take the walk. I've got the right gear, so it actually |
| 0:55.9 | makes walking in weather-like rain and adventure. So on my feet are not my normal walking shoes. |
| 1:08.5 | These are, actually, I've had these for a long time. These are trail shoes made by |
| 1:14.3 | underarmor and actually in conjunction, I don't even know if they make these anymore. They're in |
| 1:19.1 | conjunction with, get this, Michelin, the tire people. So I think they're water resistant. They're not waterproof. |

| 1:34.3 | You know, so what, who cares? But what I really like about these is the tread. |
| 1:39.3 | Because they're trail shoes, the tread is thicker and grips better and so when it is wet |
| 1:48.0 | and I'm walking and the surface is slick or muddy, these shoes really are great. All right, so I've got a |
| 2:00.0 | comment here from Linda, and this was a comment made to one of |
| 2:06.0 | the walking is fitness YouTube shorts. Linda says, that's what I love about my Apple Watch. |
| 2:13.7 | If I'm watching a baseball or football game, it prompts me to move around if I haven't gotten up during any of the commercial breaks. |
| 2:23.3 | Most of the time I get up and move around on my own, but sometimes I don't, and this prompts me to get up every hour. |
| 2:31.0 | So, Linda, by the way, thank you for, thanks for watching that YouTube short. |
| 2:37.0 | Thanks for leaving the comment. |
| 2:38.0 | Linda, by the way, is part of the Walking Friends community on Patreon, very active on that. |
| 2:43.0 | Linda is just a great encourager. |
