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

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

One of the things that has become, I would say it's a pretty regular part of my walking

is the awareness of my posture.

My posture is not great.

And if it weren't for Ava, who I have dubbed as my posture coach,

if it weren't for Ava, I don't think I'd be aware of it. In fact, I'll

revise that remark and amended to I would not be aware of it. There's no way that I would

know. Not true. I'm sure there are ways that I would know, but I don't think I would take advantage of those.

And so she has gently pointed out that while I'm walking, I tend to slouch forward.

There are times when I'll be walking past a window, full-length window, like a store, and I'll glance in the window to see my

posture. But of course, at that moment, I'm thinking about it. It's when I'm not thinking about it.

What's my default posture? And it's not great. But I don't think posture is

impossible to change. By the way, I'm not a doctor, not a licensed personal trainer. This podcast

is for education and entertainment purposes only. And so when I'm thinking about my posture as I'm

walking, what I'm trying to do is be aware of, am I straight?

Is my back straight?

Are my shoulders back?

Or am I hunched forward?

Is my head down?

Am I looking up and down the road?

And just aware of the posture, the straightness of my being, saw this post on, I think it was the Start Today Facebook group, someone else who was aware of their posture.
