How many steps should you walk to prevent weight gain?

Got some brand new research for you.

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 to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave.

I've been walking for fitness since 2013,

averaging about 21,000 steps a day.

I'm walking right now, and I'd love to have you join me

for the next 10 minutes.

Temperatures here in South Carolina are well below normal.

In fact, with the wind, I've got a wind chill that's just a couple of notches above freezing,

which gives me the opportunity to test out my winter clothing.

I had mentioned if you listened a little while ago that one of the things that I

needed to upgrade were my gloves. And I was actually getting ready to head out and buy some gloves.

And I mentioned that to Ava, who's a runner, and she said, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Whoa, hang on. I've got some gloves that I'm not using that might work for you.

She went back into her office, opened up this box, and there's a whole bunch of running gloves.

Most of them were too small for me, but there were a couple of pairs that were my size.

And so I tried them on, and I'm wearing one right now and trying it out.

So I haven't had to spend any money yet.

They're lightweight, which is both good and bad.
