All right. Are you ready to go for a walk?

Ready for our 10-minute walk together.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action as we walk together for 10 minutes,

holding each other accountable for keeping our commitment to fitness.

Even when it's cold, windy, and uncomfortable.

This episode is sponsored by the Step Fit Plan.

If you are new to this podcast, I routinely walk about 20,000 steps a day, and I didn't start there, not even close.

And walking is my primary, my foundational fitness activity.

And walking is effective, it is flexible, it is sustainable, and it is fun. Even on days like today,

walking can be fun. There is beauty surrounding me, which I'll describe in just a moment.

But making walking your fitness activity takes intentionality, takes some intensity, and it really

takes a plan.

And the Stepfit plan is a guide to help you transition your walking from functional to fitness.

It's effective.

It's free.

It won't cost you a thing.

And it's yours.

Temperatures are below freezing, and the wind chill is 11.
