Today's episode is for a very specific person.

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 started walking for fitness in 2013. 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. Recently I saw a post on the start today Facebook group. The person had joined the group. She had bought food,

healthy food. She had downloaded videos, fitness videos, and she was so discouraged because she

wrote, I bought the food, I downloaded the videos, and I'm not doing

anything. She wants to begin getting healthier, eating better, beginning exercise. She didn't say

what kind of exercise.

Primarily, the Start Today Facebook group is focused on walking.

And I do know that there are videos Leslie Sansone that you can walk inside in your home.

And so that might be what she was referring to, but she doesn't say.

The discouragement was palpable. This was someone who had made a decision to begin pursuing

fitness, begin pursuing better health, had even taken some action but just could

not get started. And the group just gathered around her virtually and began offering encouragement.

And if you can relate to this woman, if you have been listening to these

episodes, if you found walking as fitness and you have made a decision to begin pursuing fitness,

to begin walking as a fitness activity.

But all you can do is listen to the podcast, and you're just trying to get motivated, to get going, to get started.
