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

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

This comment to one of the Walking is Fitness YouTube videos.

As a former runner, walking daily is such a pleasure.

Never take your health for granted. I'd love to know the story

behind that. I can make some assumptions, but I don't know if they're going to be true.

My assumption is this was someone who used to run, but for whatever reason, can't now,

and is walking, and is walking every day and enjoys walking. Maybe they miss running, I don't know,

but it's a reminder that being able to move

consistently is not something you should take for granted. Don't take your health for granted.

Don't take your health for granted. Don't take your mobility for granted.

My mom and dad are in their 80s.

And I had a conversation recently with my dad who's

89.

And dad's still relatively healthy, still has mobility.

Moves a little bit slower than he used to, but can still walk.

But during this conversation, he was talking about how the ability to walk has declined he said it wasn't too long ago when he and my mom would drive over to this park near their

home and there's a lake and a like a three-mile trail around the lake.

And they would walk that three-mile trail and it had some hills to it.

So it wasn't that long ago when he used to be able to do that.

Wasn't that long ago when he used to be able to do that. Wasn't that long ago when he would get on his bike and go for a ride.

Wasn't that long ago and he's not able to do either of those.
