Hi friends. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, the podcast. I'm Dave.

Coming to you from Washington, D.C., one of my favorite places to walk. At the moment, I'm walking along the National Mall with the U.S. Capitol Building just behind me, the Washington Monument straight ahead and beyond

Would you prefer to not move or would you prefer to move?

And here's why I bring this up.
