I just saw the most adorable video that has everything to do with walking and nothing to do with walking.

I'll tell you about it in just a moment. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking as Fitness.

This is a daily podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to take the walk.

And today's 10 minute walk starts after this.

Got a video recently.

Love this video.

It is of our granddaughter Olivia, who turned one recently.

And she is in the kitchen of where she lives, her home, where she lives with her mom, her dad, and her brother and her older sister, older brother and older sister.

And I think Olivia's mom, my daughter-in-law, Leanna, was the one who was taking the video

because behind Olivia is her daddy, our son, our oldest son, Christopher.

And, you know, he's got his arms out, he's crouched down.

And Olivia, the video starts, she's standing kind of a little unsteady.

And then after what's seen, you you know and you're anticipating okay I know

where this is going and it just seemed to take a little bit longer to get there but eventually

Olivia takes a step and then another step and I don't know if those were her first steps, but certainly they

were among her very first steps. And Ava and I watched the video and it made us

happy, we were smiling, we were laughing. It was just a super feel-good moment. It

wasn't until a few minutes later that it hit me.

Oh, wait a minute.

These are the first steps in a lifetime of walking.

And of course that got me thinking about a lifetime of walking and that progression.

After they turned the camera off, after they stopped filming the video, there were more steps.
