Today I'm going to make the argument why everyone should walk every day.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you

with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, keep going, and do it every day.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

Foggy morning in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The temperature is mild.

I can't tell if it's raining or if there's moisture on the trees that is simply falling

from branch to branch. Can you hear the dripping? Might be a little late but I should have

checked the weather before I started. Hang on. Is this going to be a thing? All right,

well the weather is telling me no precipitation for at least 60 minutes. Pulling up

the radar and no. I think what's going on I'm now walking past the trees

got an open field to my left I can feel a breeze I think there's a lot of moisture on the trees

humidity and the breeze was knocking the moisture off the branches.

Most of these are pine trees. All right, I think I'm good.

I want to make the argument why everyone should walk every day.

Why, if you have the ability to walk,

it should be part of your regular exercise, fitness routine.

And there are five points to this. And at the end, at the end, I have a question, a request actually, for you.

Everyone should walk every day.

I'll define this as a 10 minute walk.

So I'm not talking about 10,000 steps, not talking about a 30-minute walk,

but once you've got the habit established, because sometimes walk shorter than 10 minutes, can help build that habit.
