| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Are you ready to walk together to take a 10-minute walk together? |
| 0:11.0 | This is Walking is Fitness, a podcast of action as I'm walking, and hopefully you're walking. |
| 0:17.0 | We're walking together, holding each other accountable for keeping our commitment to |
| 0:21.7 | fitness. This episode is sponsored by the Stepfit Plan. This is a one-year guide to help you |
| 0:28.4 | transition your walking from merely functional to fitness. And perhaps you're wondering one |
| 0:35.6 | year. It takes one year. First off, what is functional walking and what is fitness walking? |
| 0:40.6 | Well, functional walking is the walking we do every day. |
| 0:43.6 | Going from the house to the car, putting laundry away, walking across the parking lot, pushing the grocery cart. |
| 0:51.5 | We're not really thinking about it. |
| 0:52.9 | We're just doing it. |
| 0:53.7 | It's functional. It's not really thinking about it. We're just doing it. It's, it's |

| 1:14.6 | Now, to be clear, all walking has health benefits, all movement has health benefits. |
| 1:19.6 | But the more intensity that you do your walking, the more intentional you are, the more exercise benefits that accrue from |
| 1:30.6 | that. So it takes, it actually takes some thinking. First, you have to establish a habit. That takes |
| 1:36.2 | longer than most of us realize. And that habit over time then becomes momentum, fitness momentum, |
| 1:47.0 | which eventually leads to fitness transformation. So it takes some thought, it takes a plan, it takes some intensity, and the stepfit plan will help you transition from merely functional walking to fitness walking. |
| 1:58.0 | It is free. It is yours at walkingus fitness.com the resource page. |
| 2:04.8 | There's also a link in the show notes. |
| 2:08.5 | Hi, I'm Dave, and it occurred to me a day or two ago that it was this week, first week of January, nine years ago, that my fitness journey changed |
| 2:24.8 | dramatically. And I don't know that I realized how dramatic that change was at the time. |
