Sylvie asked a question, actually a personal question, but completely appropriate.

You'll hear Sylvie's question and my answer during today's walk.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily podcast to encourage and

motivate you to create and sustain a daily habit of walking.

Today's walk starts in just a moment.

Walking on a sidewalk next to a road that at times can be busy at the moment as I'm looking in both directions.

And I can probably see

would this be a half mile maybe a half mile from end to end there are no cars on it

sun is up so it's not like it's a weird time of day but at some point I expect in fact

there comes a vehicle now to my right is the Myrtle Beach

International Airport. And I can see the terminal and see some of the planes that are either

offloading passengers or loading passengers. beyond the terminal there's a tree line

and on the other side of the tree line I can see the tops of some of the beachfront hotels got a

question from sylvie i love your podcast thanks Thanks for your dedication.

I would like to know if you complement walking with other types of exercises like weight training and stretching.

Sylvie, thanks.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for enjoying the podcast.

Appreciate that. I am in love with walking. I am

passionate about walking. I'm enthusiastic about walking. It is what I call my foundational fitness

activity. And my belief, and I'm not a doctor, I'm not a licensed personal trainer. This is simply a belief born out of experience and looking down the road at what is to come, getting older.

I believe that walking should be a part of everyone's fitness program.
