I'm walking beside a lake at the moment, actually two lakes.

How much does that really matter?

Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little

added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, and even more importantly, to keep going,

to build a life-changing fitness habit.

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

A another frosty morning in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

I've got frost on the ground, again frost on the windshield and windows of our car, which,

thankfully again, I don't need to scrape off because we're not going anywhere in the next

couple of hours. We are three days away from an epic event, one way or the other.

Epicness is going to be happening in three days.

Stay tuned, I'll take you along for the ride.

So at the moment, I am walking by a lake that is near our community.

The water is calm.

I don't see any wildlife on the lake.

And that's to my left.

There's a duck. There's one solitary duck and as I look closer, there are a bunch of ducks that were right at the edge of the lake that I couldn't see because of some tall grass.

And now they are swimming in the lake.

The sky is blue and so that's to my left to my

right is another lake and I'm walking off of the trail the path where I was

just a moment ago and I'm now walking beside this lake, smaller lake, and again, I don't see any wildlife.

And then off in the distance, not too far, are some large pine trees, and you can hear the birds, even though it is a cold morning, they're still awake and active.
