| 0:00.0 | A story about motivation. |
| 0:04.3 | Hi, I'm Dave. |
| 0:05.4 | Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, and even more importantly, to keep going, to build that life-changing walking habit. |
| 0:19.2 | Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this. |
| 0:26.1 | I have a story that I want to tell you, a story about motivation. But before I get to that, |
| 0:32.2 | I want to tell you what's happening starting next Monday, which is June 1st, the 30-day walking challenge, because June |
| 0:41.0 | has 30 days. So the challenge is essentially for two types of people or people who are trying |
| 0:50.2 | to do one of these two things. Number one is to get started building a walking habit. |
| 1:00.7 | Because I believe this is the hardest part of fitness, getting started and maintaining consistency. |
| 1:08.2 | And you've been listening to this podcast, or maybe you just found this podcast, and you've been thinking, I would like to do this. |
| 1:14.9 | Walking is beneficial, and I would like to create a life-changing walking habit. |

| 1:26.1 | The 30-day challenge is for you |

| 1:37.4 | and things went sideways so you're looking to restart and i believe that restarting can be more challenging than starting for the first |
| 1:48.9 | time. So whether it's a brand new start or it's a restart, the 30-day walking challenge is going to be |
| 1:57.0 | perfect for you. And I'll tell you how it works in just a moment. Second group is those who |
| 2:04.1 | have started and you are walking but lacking the consistency. You're not doing it as consistently |
| 2:12.4 | as you would like. Maybe you'd even like to do it every day. But the consistency hasn't been there. This 30 day challenge will help you as well. |
| 2:20.3 | So here's how it works. |
| 2:22.3 | It's very simple, three things. |
| 2:24.3 | Number one is you make a commitment to walk. |
