This might feel a little self-indulgent. It's really not. Well, maybe it is a little bit.

But there's a takeaway value for you that I didn't see coming until yesterday, and I don't think

you're going to see coming as well. But if you hang with it, you'll get it. 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've been

walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day. I'm walking right now and I would love to

have you join me for the next 10 minutes. 3 a.m. August 25th, 2017. I'm in a hotel room, small

hotel room in Anaheim, California.

I have a 6.30 early flight back to Maryland.

And I had a walking commitment, a step commitment.

I don't remember what it was.

But I was up early in the morning, and I was walking back and forth in the hotel room

because I knew that I was going to have to grab every opportunity I could to reach that step goal.

And I was walking back and forth in this hotel room in Anaheim, California, and thinking, I wanted to do a podcast and I was trying to come up with something and then it hit me. Wait a minute. What I'm doing

right now? I'm walking. And so I thought as I'm pacing back and forth in that hotel room in

Anaheim, California, why don't I do a podcast that helps people get more steps.

I'll call it more steps with Dave.

And every day, I'll do a daily podcast.

It'll be 10 minutes.

And each episode will be an idea of how you can get more steps.

And I thought, well, this is a great idea.

There will be so many listeners.

And so I get on the plane and I'm writing down ideas and I'm getting excited.
