Today's 10-minute walk is helping you create a walking habit you will love.

Hi, I'm Dave. If you're brand new, welcome. I want to offer you 90 days to a walking habit you'll love.

It's a five-part plan that I believe will change your life. And that's not an exaggeration.

It's free with a link in the show notes. Today's walk is not only starting inside.

If you heard yesterday's 10 minute walk, it started inside and then ended up outside.

Beautiful walk in the snow. I haven't been able to do that in years.

Today's walk is not only going to start inside, it's also going to end inside because I want to talk about something

that has been asked quite frequently, and that is, does walking on a treadmill count? Does walking

on a treadmill have the same benefits as walking outside? And not only is the answer yes yes in terms of those long-term health benefits,

reducing the risk of an early death, reducing the risk of heart disease, of stroke, of a bunch of

cancers, of type 2 diabetes, of dementia, there actually are some additional benefits to walking on a

treadmill that I want to talk about today as I'm walking on a treadmill I've got a

small I guess it's probably better described as a walking pad a small treadmill in

my home office I have a standing desk and this walking pad is

underneath the desk and it is a limited treadmill it doesn't have all of the full

function and full features that a full-sized treadmill will have but it has it has the

features that I need and the features that I want, which essentially

is I want to take a walk, push a button, let's go, and that's what I'm going to do right now,

push the button. And this treadmill allows me to go at a top speed of four miles an hour,

which is a nice, brisk pace, but it starts very slow,

four tenths of one mile an hour.

So I'm gonna boost this up.
