Are you ready to take your walking to the next level?

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

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

Hi, I'm Dave.

I started walking for fitness in 2013 and still take

an intentional fitness walk every single day. I'm walking right now and I would love to have you

join me for the next 10 minutes. What popped into your mind when I asked that question? Are you

ready to take your walking to the next level?

Do you think I am talking about how far you walk?

Maybe if you track your steps, are you willing to take it to the next level up, to walk more steps, to walk farther, to walk longer. Maybe I'm talking about the intensity

at which you walk. How fast you're going, your pace. Are you ready to push it a little bit?

And those are good answers, but that's not actually what I mean.

My neighbor, Mike, he lives across the street, and he takes an intentional walk every day, actually twice a day.

He goes out in the morning, and I've seen him out walking multiple times, so I know that his route is the same every day. And it's about two or three miles in the morning.

And then he takes another walk early in the afternoon.

And again, I've been out while he's walking, so I've seen where it is.

He's going.

It's a different route, a little bit

shorter, maybe a mile, mile and a half. Mike is committed to these twice a day walks, never misses a day.

And the reason I know this is because my home office is in the front of our house.

And I have a desk by a window which looks out across the street and I can see when Mike is leaving and returning.

And I am aware of the weather.
