At some point during today's podcast, you may start to wonder.

You may even ask out loud the question.

So why are you telling us this?

Stay with it.

There's a point.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness

promise you made to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave.

I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day.

I am walking right now and would love to have you join me for the next 10

minutes. Cloudy skies here in South Carolina. That is keeping the temperature down. Humidity is high.

Still feels very much like summer, which is okay by me, and I hope where you are, the weather is to your liking as well.

Thanks for joining me today. I have never been someone who has enjoyed being watched, who likes to be noticed.

When we first moved down here to our new home in Myrtle Beach,

I would walk around the neighborhood,

at a particular route through the neighborhood,

and did that every day, sometimes a couple times a day.

And as I got to know our new neighbors,

often they would say, as we were being introduced,

oh, you're the guy who walks a lot.

I see you walking all the time.
