All right. Are you ready? Ready for our 10-minute walk together. Welcome to walking as fitness. This is a podcast of action as we walk together for 10 minutes, holding each other accountable for keeping our commitment to fitness. This episode is sponsored by the Step Fit plan, so I routinely get

close to 20,000 steps every day yesterday. I think I finished up around 22,000. I've been doing

this for years, but I didn't start there, not even close. It took time first for me to establish

a habit, a fitness habit, that over time, as I consistently stuck with it, became fitness momentum,

and eventually led to fitness transformation. And so I didn't have a plan when I started.

I figured it out as I went along.

And what I've done is reverse engineered what I did to establish that habit, build the momentum, and have put that together for you to help you transition your walking from functional, you know, that walking we do every day that we don't

even think about, to fitness. It's called the stepfit plan. It's effective. It's free. And I'd

like you to have it. You can go to walking is fitness.com. Check out the resource page. There's also

a link in the show notes for today's episode. And that'll take you to the resource page. There's also a link in the show notes for today's episode,

This walk that we're taking is a 10-minute walk, and of course I'm going to keep going beyond 10

minutes, and maybe you will too.

Is this walk today improving my immune system?

Now, this is not just for me an intellectual question.

This is actually one of the foundational issues for my deepest why.

Why do I pursue fitness?

Because I want to age well.

And part of aging well is that aging component.

And an immune system that is working robustly is a key ingredient in that.

Now, before we go any further, if you hear nothing else, please hear this.

I'm not a doctor.
