Today's 10 minute walk is helping you keep your fitness promise, which adds another link to your growing fitness chain.

Walking as the sun is rising off to the east, I believe the forecast for today is more sunshine than clouds, although clouds will be part of the skyscate.

I don't believe we have any rain in the forecast today.

And as I'm looking up, the early daylight indicating there are a few clouds above me, but nothing threatening.

And the clouds actually make, in my opinion, for a more dramatic sunrise, allowing the sunlight

to reflect off the clouds.

And as I look through the trees to the east, yeah.

I am terrible at describing the colors in a sunrise. To me, that is what I would call light

orange, like orange cream, an orange cream sickle kind of orange. Does I paint the picture for you?

That's what I have off to the east. Recently, I was listening to a podcast, a podcast about exercise, actually a podcast about walking.

It was the Mel Robbins podcast with Dr. Shane O'Mara, who is a neuroscientist, and he was talking about walking.

He said a number of things in that episode that I found fascinating,

and even though I've been pursuing walking as a fitness activity for more than 10 years,

and I've done quite a bit of reading about walking,

he said some things that I had never considered before.

He also said something, he used a phrase that I have heard before, but in that context,

it struck me differently. And it caused me to go, huh. And that is, and perhaps you've heard

this phrase as well, that movement is medicine. I've heard that before. Movement is medicine. And it's catchy.

And if you are pursuing fitness, whether you're walking or running or riding a bike or

crossfit or swimming or yoga, it, I think, should make you feel encouraged, that your movement is medicine.

It's good for you.

It's doing a helpful thing.
