Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made to yourself,

and we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain.

I had an interesting reaction before I left the house this morning.

I saw how much power remained, how much battery life was still on my Fitbit, and it's 24%.

And my reaction was, oh, that's plenty. That's another couple of days. I don't have to worry about it,

don't have to think about it. My Fitbit is not going to die out on me in the middle of the day

today. And then it occurred to me, you know, if I saw that my phone only had 24%, I would start

thinking about, okay, how much more am I going to need to use my phone before I can get it

plugged in and start to power up that battery again?

In other words, not panic, but I would now be very aware of, can't be using it all day

today. I need to start thinking about being close to a power cord and an outlet.

24% on the fifth bit, we're good to go. A couple of days at least. Twenty-four percent on the

iPhone, not so much.

There are two words that I will not use in this podcast.

Two words that I recommend that you never use.

When you're talking about fitness, when you're talking about walking, when you're talking about exercise,

whether you're talking with someone else or you're talking to yourself.

Maybe you're listening to someone else, talk about what they do for exercise, you're online and you're seeing reading what others are

doing and these two words either together or separately can pop up in a conversation. They're very

dangerous and I recommend that you ban these words from your language,

and I have banned them from the podcast,

in terms of just naturally using them.
