All right. Are you ready for our 10-minute walk? Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a podcast of

action because we're walking together for 10 minutes holding each other accountable for keeping our commitment to fitness.

This episode is sponsored by the Step Fit Plan.

This is a one-year guide that will help you transition your walking from functional to fitness.

It helps you set the right starting goal so that you can establish a habit.

That's key.

Without the habit, most fitness journeys take the exit ramp pretty quickly.

You'll establish a habit. There's a guide to help you gradually increase what you're doing

to build that momentum. And there's also a 90-day win tracker. Every day that you reach your goal

is a win. And this tracker will help you to chart your progress. And some of us, myself is one,

really are motivated when we can track our wins on a day-by-day basis. So if that's something

that motivates you, that resource is provided in the step-fit plan. It's free, it's effective,

it's yours. Go to walkingis-fitness.com. You can check out the resource page. There's also a link

in the show notes for today's episode.

East Coast, this is a beach town.

I don't live on the beach.

I'm a few miles back.

South Carolina in the winter is still cold, but not as cold as I was used to after living in Maryland for 60 years.

This morning, the temperature, I walk in the morning, by the way, usually just before sunrise.
