I don't know how many listeners had this happen last week, but I know of at least one, and it's heartbreaking.

I'm going to share a message from one listener who did the seven-day walking challenge during today's 10-minute walk.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a daily podcast. Every day, a brand new 10-minute walk.

I record each episode while I'm out walking. So as you're listening, it's kind of like we're taking a walk together, providing a added motivation to stay consistent because walking can change your life.

Today's 10-minute walk starts after this.

I just checked before I headed out this morning for today's 10-minute walk. More than 5,000 listeners.

Listen to at least one episode of walking as fitness last week during the seven-day walking challenge.

Now, I don't know how many of those more than 5,000 took the challenge.

I know that I didn't hear from 5,000 listeners, but I'm hopeful that it was hundreds, if not thousands,

who said, you know what, I want to do this, want to create a walking habit,

or I want to make my walking more consistent, or like Jeff, who is on vacation, already has a habit,

already has consistency. He set a goal within a goal. His bigger goal is to walk at least 15 minutes every day.

He's been doing that for more than 60 days, more than two months.

That's incredible.

But Jeff, while on vacation, Prince Edward Island said,

you know what, I'm going to supersize that.

And during the seven-day challenge, I'm going to walk at least 10,000 steps a day.

And that's what he's done.

And then there's this listener.

I don't think this person is alone.

But this is the only one I heard from who said this.

And I appreciate the honesty honesty the vulnerability of this
