Some powerful new research about this walk that you and I are taking right now.

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 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.

Last month, some research was released out of England. This is a new study from Cambridge University. And I want to stop just for a

moment, read this to you so you understand just how big, how big this study is. It's from Cambridge

University. Researchers looked at 196 peer-reviewed articles, which included more than 30 million study participants.

They wanted to analyze the link between physical activity and cancer, heart disease, and early death.

And this study was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine,

and I will have a link in the show notes if you'd like to read more about it.

Put my phone away, walking again. Big headlines when this was published, a lot of the

mainstream news organizations picked up on this and wrote articles about the results.

And an awful lot of the media stories that are looking at fitness activity,

and a lot of them now are focusing on walking,

both as an encouragement to those who are walking,

who are pursuing fitness with a daily walk,

and for those who are not doing any exercise,

and it's a way to be encouraging and say, you know, even a walk, my goodness, that plane is loud.

I don't know if the wind is blowing in a certain direction this morning, but, and I do walk near the airport, but that almost sounds like I'm walking right next to the runway.

I'm not.

It might be a bigger, bigger plane.
