All right, are you ready to do this, this 10-minute walk together?

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action as we walk together for 10 minutes, holding each other accountable

for keeping our commitment to fitness.

This episode is sponsored by the

Stepfit plan. Transitioning you're walking from merely functional to fitness is not easy. It's very

difficult. I mean, walking itself is easy, but to move from the type of walking that we do every

day that we don't even think about, to walking that rises to the level of exercise and has long-term health benefits really requires intentionality.

It requires intensity. It requires a plan, a guide to make that transition because it doesn't just happen overnight.

It doesn't just happen simply because I think I'm going to walk for fitness.

It really does require that intentionality.

The stepfit plan will guide you through that transition and it is free, it's effective and it's yours by going to walking isfitness.com,

the resource page. There's also a link in the show notes for today's episode. Hi, I'm Dave on a

windy January day and perhaps the weather is a little challenging where you are.

So here we are in January.

I mentioned this yesterday.

This is like the worst month of the year to set a new fitness goal, a new exercise, start a new exercise plan, you know, because we want to change our health in 2020, which is a good thing.

I don't mean to sound like I'm mocking that goal.

It's a great goal.

But January is like the most challenging month to get started because unless you're in the

Southern Hemisphere or live in the deep south, you're going to be facing some pretty challenging weather and probably already have as, you know, we head outside to walk together.

And I, again, apologize for the wind, but that's the nature of this podcast.
