Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent.

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk.

I want to read this comment to one of the Walking-Ins fitness YouTube videos.

Trying to make a commitment to walking, I was a runner for years and have realized that after injury and age,

my best option would be to start a consistent walking regimen.

It's just hard to let go of running.

I was a runner for five years before I made the transition to walking as my primary fitness activity and in my case

it wasn't an issue of age or injury it was over the course of probably five months of doing both

I recognized that I enjoyed walking a whole lot more than I enjoyed running.

And for me, because I had step goals, daily step goals, I would go for my run, and then I would add on another mile or so of walking to boost up those step counts.

And over time, and not much time, I realized that that one mile walk at the end of the run was what I was really looking forward to. And one day as I was getting ready to take my three-mile run, I thought,

why am I doing this? I enjoy walking a whole lot more. And in that moment,

after five years of running, made the decision that I'm going to be a walker because I love it

more. I enjoy it more. I look forward to it more.

For me, those five years of running, they were enjoyable, and there were things about running that I loved,

but I was never passionate about running like this viewer was, and like my wife is. She's been a runner for, I want to say decades. It's probably,

I know it's more than a decade. I don't think it's quite two decades, but she's been a runner for many years and is in love with running. She enjoys walking. She loves running. So I live with someone who is

passionate about running and I live the life of a runner for five years. And so what I want to talk

about today, because I understand that if you're passionate

about running and you have to make the transition maybe because of age, maybe because of injury,

that it's a little more challenging to let go of the love of running.

Here's what I loved about running.
