What do you do when you simply don't feel like taking a walk?

You just don't feel like it.

Welcome to Walking as 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 started walking for fitness in 2013.

Still take an intentional fitness walk every single day.

I'm walking right now, and I would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes.

Not too long ago, I got a note from a listener who had resumed walking,

had stopped for a while. And I don't know entirely everything that was behind that, but the listener

sort of hinted that a part of it, if not a large part of it, was

didn't feel like it.

Just didn't feel like it.

And I think if we're being truthful, I think all of us at some point, even those who have been pursuing fitness for a long time,

we're going to have days where we don't feel like it.

Maybe those days sometimes even stretch into weeks and months.

It's just a real struggle.

You're going along with fitness momentum, and then you hit a stretch of life and things

just go sideways.

And even if you don't have long seasons where you don't feel like it, it's almost a guarantee

that you're going to have a day every now and then where the motivation

just isn't there and you're like what actually you may not even question what it's just i don't feel like it

i don't feel like in 2014 Seth Godin wrote about this very thing in his blog.
