All right, friends, are you 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.

This episode is sponsored by the Step Fit Plan. This is a guide

to help you transition your walking from functional. That's the kind of walking we do every day

without even thinking about it. Transition from functional walking to fitness walking. Fitness walking

is intentional. It has more intensity and actually can rise to the level

of exercise. And that doesn't just happen. Now, all movement is beneficial. There's research indicating

there are health benefits to even functional walking, what the CDC calls light activity.

But to raise your intensity level to moderate or even vigorous activity really requires a plan.

It requires intentionality, and the stepfit guide, the step fit plan will guide you

through that transition from functional walking to fitness walking. Best thing, it's free,

it's effective, and it is yours. Go to walking is fitness.com, the resource page. And I also have

a link in the show notes for this episode.

By the time I got to the house, the rain had actually stopped.
