Today's 10 minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent.

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk.

You probably can't hear it because I'm not holding an umbrella.

I'm not holding an umbrella because I didn't check the weather before I left the house.

I've been out walking for about 10 minutes and just as I was getting ready to press record,

I want to talk about me for a moment.

I love walking.

I've been walking as a fitness activity, my primary fitness activity,

since 2013. Since that time, I've averaged about 19,000 steps a day. To be clear,

this is not my goal. In fact, my only walking goal now is to take an intentional walk every single day.

So that 19,000 steps is a byproduct of my love for walking, not what I'm aiming for every day.

I can't even tell you how many steps I got yesterday. It's not that I don't care,
