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

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

This comment was left on one of the Walking-Hus Fitness YouTube videos.

I took a walk around the medical building while waiting for my wife to get examined.

I saw three or four people sitting in their cars waiting for someone.

I should have invited them to walk with me.

This reminded me of opportunities that I've had, that I've taken advantage of to go walking.

that I started looking for those opportunities. It's like, how am I going to reach this step count unless I get up and move more?

You know, certainly I could take long walks and that would help me reach the step count.

But what if I instead created a lifestyle of fitness where I was continually

looking for opportunities to get up and move? Opportunities that maybe I hadn't considered

before. And so here are seven opportunities, seven opportunities to get up and take a walk when before I would have most likely set.

There have been times where she's had an appointment, a medical appointment, and probably for me,

the one that is the biggest memory was the morning that she had surgery for breast cancer.

And the surgery was
