Today on the podcast, I'm going to combine two topics that I've never combined before in more than 1,700 episodes.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking This Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, and more importantly, to keep going, to build a life-changing walking habit.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

We're just four days away from the 30-day walking challenge. It starts Monday, June 1st. It'll span the entire month of June. 30 days. The challenge,

very simple. Number one, make a commitment to walk 10 minutes every day, not 10,000 steps,

but simply 10 minutes every day, most of us on even the busiest days of our lives can find 10

minutes for a walk. and on those days when

we don't have as much energy as we would like when we're feeling a little sluggish, we usually

have enough for a 10 minute walk.

So that's number one, a commitment to walk 10 minutes every day.

Number two, listen to this podcast,

Walking its Fitness every day in June

for added encouragement.

Plus, to keep it fun, I'm going to be sharing 30 fun facts

about walking, some of which I'd never heard before.

So there'd be one each day during the month of June. And then

number three, download the 30-day fitness chain tracker. It's 30 footprints linked together. And every

day you keep the commitment and take the walk. You color in a shoe print. And I know it sounds cheesy,

but it works, especially on those

days when motivation is a little lacking, you don't want to break the chain. And so you get out,

you take the 10-minute walk, by the way, if you're a long-time listener to this podcast and you

have downloaded the 30-day fitness chain tracker, and you're thinking, I'll just print that out
