Is it time to reconsider your walk?

Hi, I'm Dave.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast that provides a little added motivation

to get out and take the walk.

Today we're going to ponder that question.

Is it time to reconsider your walk when our 10-minute walk starts right after this?

So when someone asks you the question, how much do you walk? How do you answer that?

There are basically three ways to answer this question,

and most of us will answer it with one of these three answers. We will say, well, I walk

5,000 steps a day, or 10,000 steps a day. 10,000 steps a day.

Essentially, we're giving them our daily step count.

So that's number one.

Number two would be I walk three miles a day,

or four miles a day, or one mile a day or in the same vein I walk around the block

do that three times a day or I walk to the dentist office and back which is

actually something that Dave and I do so So you're measuring it by distance.

And then number three is, well, I walk 10 minutes a day.

Listen to this great podcast.

Go out for a 10 minute walk every day.

Or I do a half hour a day.

Or I take a 20 minute walk in the morning, 20 minute walk in the middle of the day

and a 20 minute walk when I get home from work
