Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent, so let's go for a walk.

I saw a number the other day that blew me away.

I have done, I think, a couple of episodes where I'm trying to paint the bigger picture of how far

you've walked. Sometimes, oftentimes we are focused on the walk that we take today, how many steps we get, how far we walk.

And I've wanted to paint the bigger picture of,

okay, so when you're taking this many steps, here's how far you've walked,

and here's what that represents, to give you a better idea of what you're accomplishing,

the hard thing that you're doing. I've also taken that

plane a little bit higher. You know, if you've walked so many steps in a month, here's how far you've

walked over the course of a year. If you walk this many steps every day, here's how many steps

you've walked over the course of a year and here, here's how far that is. And I think that sometimes is helpful. I think focusing on the process,

what we're doing every day is critical, mission critical. That sometimes when we start thinking

too broadly, particularly about goals, fitness goals, it can be discouraging because things take time,

progress is slow.

But sometimes it's good. Just take that plane up a little bit higher, get a bigger picture of

what you're accomplishing so you can sit back and go, yeah, I'm doing a hard thing. Look at this.

I saw the number. It's an estimated number, of course, of how many steps the average

person takes in a lifetime and how far that is. Now, obviously, we're speaking in really

broad generalities.

And for this math exercise, the average person with the average stride, living until 80,

we'll walk.

This number blows me away.
