Keeping that fitness promise we made to ourselves is hard.

In other words, right now, you're doing a hard thing.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation to keep that fitness promise.

Hi, I'm Dave.

I've been walking for fitness since 2013.

I've averaged 21,000 steps.

I'm walking right now, and I'd love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes.

Beautiful, beautiful morning in South Carolina.

And again, if this is one of the first times you've listened to this podcast,

I record it during the first 10 minutes of my early morning walk,

which happens before sunrise, although I can see early daylight,

I guess a pre-sunrise off to the east. The temperature is comfortable. The wind at the moment is

non-existent, and there is zero threat of rain, clear skies.

Just a beautiful, beautiful day.

Hope it's nice where you are as well.

One of the great things about walking for fitness is that it actually gives us the opportunity

to create memories.

Fun memories, memories that can last a lifetime.

And I don't know that that can happen with other forms of exercise.

Certainly if you cycle for exercise, you've got that opportunity.

Running, similar opportunities. Certainly if you cycle for exercise, you've got that opportunity.
