Today's 10 minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent.

One of the recurring themes among the comments to the Walking-Fitness

Fitness YouTube channel.

And this has been one of the highlights of starting this channel, which I began in late December, primarily because YouTube is a huge search engine,

and I wanted to be there providing some answers or at least an invitation for those who are curious about walking, watching videos about walking, to take the next step, literally, and begin walking for fitness and to tell them about

this podcast. And by the way, if you're listening because you found walking as fitness through

YouTube, welcome. Happy to have you. One of the common themes, consistent themes in the comments to

these videos is that watching them has provided

a spark of motivation to get started. So it's having the desired impact. People who have been

aware of the need to move more, the health benefits of moving more, of sitting less,

and just curious about, well, how do you do this? How do you get started? How much do you need to

walk? And it's that initial motivation to get out the door and to get moving. And my hope for most people is that once you start moving, once you

start walking, that you'll find the enjoyment and the pleasure of walking is enough to provide

the motivation to keep doing it. I'm not sure what just happened.

And this tends to be the time of day when bats are a little more active

and something just flew in front of my face, maybe three feet in front of me.

My first thought was, oh, a little bird.

And that was quickly followed by, no, I don't think that was a bird.
