| 0:00.0 | Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made to yourself, |
| 0:08.0 | and we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain. |
| 0:12.0 | If you are brand new to this podcast, hi, I'm Dave. |
| 0:17.0 | I am out walking. It is early in the morning. I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. |
| 0:23.6 | I think when I tell folks that, they think that I live right on the beach. I don't. |
| 0:29.6 | Our house is about two miles from the beach. And where I'm walking right now, I can't see the ocean. I can't see the beach. |
| 0:36.6 | But I can see, because I'm a little bit closer now, I can see the hotels off in the distance. I can see the beachfront hotels that are above the tree line. So I can look at those hotels and know that there are people in those hotels who are waking up right now looking at the sunrise. |
| 0:56.7 | Got a beautiful sunrise here and looking at the ocean. And they've got a spectacular view |
| 1:03.0 | as they are beginning their day. My view is of the backside of their hotel. Can't see the ocean, can't see the sand, can't see the beach, |

| 2:04.9 | an account. It's like, what? I don't want to create an account. I just want to give you money. |
| 2:12.0 | And so all these extra things, before I get to the giving you money part are what I call friction. |
| 2:20.3 | And there have been a couple of times where I stopped the process. |
| 2:26.3 | I didn't give. I just left. |
| 2:30.3 | Removing friction is important if we are going to be pursuing something either short term or long term, like fitness. |
