All right, let's do this.

Let's walk together for 10 minutes.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

Hi, I'm Dave.

This is a podcast of action as we walk together for 10 minutes, holding each other accountable

for keeping, really our promise to ourselves, that promise we made to get fit and healthy. And it's a promise that

sadly, I know I have, I have broken. And this podcast is a way of holding each other accountable.

So we keep that commitment, that promise to ourselves. This episode is sponsored by the Step Fit Plan.

This is a guide to help you really establish a fitness habit through walking.

The key, the most important part is how you start.

Are you starting too big in a way that is not sustainable?

Are you starting small enough in a way that is not sustainable? Are you starting small enough in a way that is

sustainable but still is a little bit challenging? If you don't have the challenge, then it's

just as easy to stop. There feels like there's no value in it. Well, the stepfit plan will help you establish the right goal to first get a habit going,

a fitness habit that eventually becomes fitness momentum and then on to fitness transformation.

It's effective, it's free, and it is yours by going to walking as fitness.com the resource page. And there's also a link in the show

notes for today's episode. So this week, we are talking about the five benefits of walking for

fitness. And yesterday we touched on really what is probably the most obvious benefit of any

kind of exercise, and that is the health benefits. And there's all kinds of research that bears

this out. There are all kinds of statistics that I could point to. And quite frankly, I don't

remember them. And even if I frankly, I don't remember them.

And even if I did, I think your eyes would start to glaze over.
