Let's talk about five ways to make your daily walk more beneficial in 2026.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little extra motivation to get out the door, take the walk.

And more importantly, I believe, to keep going to build that life-changing

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

Can you hear the bird? It is sitting atop a light pole that I'm getting ready to walk by.

I'm paying more attention to the bird than the bird is to me.

It just glanced down at me.

It doesn't seem to be bothered.

So at the end of this week, something very special is happening.

And my plan is to take you along, to open the window and let you peer inside and see what's happening.

I'm very excited, and that's all I'm going to say at the moment.

But again, my plan is to take you along and let you experience, at least in some measure, the special thing that's

happening.

And if you want to make sure you don't miss those episodes, because it'll probably be three

episodes, tap follow if you listen to Walking as Fitness in Apple Podcasts.

Tap follow on the Walking as Fitness page in Apple.

And those episodes will be waiting for you.

This, by the way, is also a great way to create a daily habit,

which as we are now a couple of weeks, I guess this would be the third full week we're starting into 2026. If it's still a bit of a struggle,

getting this habit established, tapping follow might be a way to help because not only will each episode be waiting,

but you'll get a notification that there's a brand new episode which can also serve as a

reminder to take the walk, because that for me is really the hardest part of getting a habit
