Kim is trying to do the hardest thing in fitness.

But gratefully, she has a secret weapon.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation to help you

keep that fitness promise you made to yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013.

Still take an intentional fitness walk every single day. I'm walking right now and I would love to have you

join me for the next 10 minutes.

Early in 2023, I got an email from Kim, who at the time was a fairly new listener to the podcast.

And like so many others, she had been struggling to make fitness stick, to begin a fitness journey and continue on because it's really hard to do.

And so few people actually make a commitment to fitness and stay with it.

Well, Kim had begun a fitness journey and she was making progress and was super excited

about how far she had gotten and the impact that it was having not only on her, but on people in her world.

They were being inspired by Kim's pursuit of fitness and her commitment.

And she wanted to let me know about the impact of the podcast.

So she sent me an email.

And I actually shared that email, told her story on January 5th, if you want to go back and listen to it.

Well, after that email and after that episode, Kim had an injury that sidelined her.

And finally, she just got so tired of sitting around. I think she used the term.

She recently wrote me an email explaining all this. She got tired of being cooped up.

So she took some ibuprofen and went out for a five-mile hike with her boyfriend.

And she paid for it the next day, not only physically, but as she told me in her email also emotionally.

And by the way, I asked Kim permission to share her story, and she said, yes.
