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

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

You can hear some traffic going by. I'm walking on a sidewalk next to a road, but I am turning off of that sidewalk.

And I'm now on a paved trail with a lake to my right and a grove of trees to my left and the traffic will fade into the background because I'm walking away from the traffic.

The sun is up. The skies are blue and the temperature is colder than normal

for this time of year here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, so I'm well-layered.

Charlie, a listener to the podcast, sent me a link to an article that was published on WebMD in

2023 that I found fascinating. WebMD listed common walking mistakes, and I think there were

12 or 13, and I've combined a couple. There was was one and I don't forget what it was at the

moment there was one that I thought I don't know that I agree with that but I've from there 12 or 13

have listed 10 10 common walking mistakes and I'm not going to try to run through all of these

in one episode. I'll do five today. And then I'll do five tomorrow. And again, this is from a

WebMD article published at some point in 2023.

So number one, and this one is a combination of two mistakes into one.

And it has to do with the shoes we're wearing.

Wearing either the wrong shoe or the wrong fit.

Now, there are shoes that are made specifically for walking.

In fact, the shoes that I'm wearing right now are the rebound Nios from Fitville.

These are walking shoes. These are the best walking shoes I've had since I started walking as a fitness

activity in 2013. These are specifically made for walking. Typically, I've worn running shoes. And there are

shoes that are made for all different types of activities that are designed specifically for the

activity in mind.
