On this final day of the year, some thoughts on 2022 and looking ahead to 2023.

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 almost 21,000

steps a day. I'm walking right now and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes.

You might be able to hear a little bit of rain as I'm walking.

We're on the tail end of a shower.

The rain seems to be moving out of here.

And so I am dodging the puddles on the trail in front of me

and enjoying this time of walking with you. Thanks for

joining me. So here on the final day of 2022 wrapping up the first full year of the podcast Walking

is Fitness. It actually began towards the end of 2021, but this was the first year.

When I started, I made the commitment to myself that I was going to go for six months,

regardless of whether anybody listened or not.

It's kind of the way I approach fitness, and that is you start small.

You don't focus on the end result.

You don't focus on how you feel about it.

You just make a commitment and keep going.

And gratefully, people did listen.

Perhaps you've been listening for most of 2022.

I reached the midway point and thought, yep, this is worth continuing on,

so I made a commitment to keep going for another six months.
