Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent.

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk. There is a Latin phrase which I love, and I'm not

even going to attempt to say it, but it means the translation, it is solved by walking.

It's one of my favorite phrases.

I've had comments from listeners to the podcast and viewers of the walking as fitness YouTube

videos who have included this phrase in their comments, in their messages, in their

emails. They're aware of it. And they're aware of the truth of it. And so today, during our

10-minute walk, I want to talk about four people in history who understood how it is solved by walking.

And then I want to briefly tell you a story of a specific problem, a specific issue that I needed to solve and how it was solved by an intentional walk.

Charles Dickens, the 19th century writer, so many books that have withstood the test of time.

Charles Dickens was passionate about walking.

It has said that he would sometimes walk 12 miles a day.

I mean, that's incredible.

And then he went through a season of his life where he was

not able to sleep. It was insomnia. And instead of tossing and turning in his bed, he would get up

and take a walk. And he lived in London at the time, so he'd be walking the streets

of London in the middle of the night. And he would use those walks to think. And it is said that much of,

or at least some of,

a Christmas Carol, perhaps his most famous work, Ebenezer Scrooge,

that much of that work, that book, that story,

came to him while he was walking.

It is solved by walking. Charles Dickens understood that.
