Guess what? I found research that combines two of my favorite things.

Welcome to Walking as Fitness. This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013 and still take an intentional fitness walk every

single day.

I'm walking right now and I would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes.

So one of those things, obviously, is walking.

Love walking, passionate about it.

Point of this podcast is to share that passion and, as I say, provide a little extra motivation to help you pursue fitness through walking.

One of my other passions, and I've talked about this every now and then, not nearly as much about

this as I do about walking, but it's coffee. I love coffee. Found coffee, discovered coffee a bit later in life. Oh, I knew about it

before my mid-40s, but I was, I think, 45 years old before I really fell in love with coffee.

I had tried it before then.

I don't know if somebody gave it to me when I was a child.

I don't think my parents drank coffee when I was a kid.

I know they don't drink coffee now,

and I don't remember that being a regular part of their morning routine,

which is probably why I came to it a bit later.

And then every now and then, I would try a cup of coffee just to see what the deal is.

And it was like, oh my, this is terrible.

And then after Starbucks opened near us, near where we lived, we would go there every now

and then Ava liked coffee and she would get a coffee drink. And I ordered hot chocolate. That was my

thing at Starbucks, hot chocolate. I don't know how long we did that.
