It's time to walk, ready to get to it, 10-minute walk together.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a podcast of action because we are walking together for 10 minutes.

And we're doing that to hold each other accountable for keeping the promise, the commitment

we made to ourselves for fitness. This episode is sponsored by the Stepfit plan. If you have

struggled with keeping that commitment to fitness that you made, probably the issue is that you did not first establish a habit.

That is the key to any long-term fitness success is first establishing that habit.

Over time, that habit becomes fitness momentum leading to eventual fitness transformation.

we have a new health insurance company, United Health Care,

and this started on December 1st,

our insurance years from December 1st through November 30th.
