I'm going to share with you some of the results of the annual Walking Is Fitness survey today.

Hi, I'm Dave. 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 build a life-changing walking habit.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

Two hundred and eighty people took the annual walking is fitness survey.

There were ten questions, six were multiple choice.

Four were open-ended I'm

grateful it took about three minutes to complete the survey I'm grateful if you

did the survey thank you your input is incredibly valuable as I consider how to

make this podcast the best it can be for you, to make it valuable

for you, to consider any changes that need to be made. So most of those who responded started

listening last year in 2025 or earlier.

80% have been listening for a while.

The other 20% started listening since the first of this year,

and about 7% within the last month.

And if that's you and you're a brand new listener,

and you said, yes, I want my voice to be heard. Thank you. More than 62% listen several times a

week or every day. And this answer is still a little surprising to me because of why I created the podcast and how

I expected that it was going to be used.

And that is, you're listening to it as you're walking, we're walking together, and I just

made the assumption that everybody would be listening as they were walking. Not so much. Most are,

but there are still a good number who listen while they're simply sitting, getting ready
