Is this how you start your day?

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 yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave.

I started walking for fitness in 2013. Still take an intentional fitness walk

every single day. I'm walking right now and I would love to have you join me for the next 10

minutes. It is a beautiful spring morning. You're in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Temperature is mild-ish. The winds are calm. I'm out before sunrise. I think I've got a little bit of early daylight off to the east.

Sky condition, it looks like more clouds than clear sky, but I don't think there's a threat of rain as I'm walking.

Just to let you know what I'm doing here, obviously talking to you, recording the podcast as I walk.

This is the front end of what is for me going to be a longer walk

today. There's something about starting my day with a long walk that is so good. And I know that

there are folks, I live with one who are not real fans of the morning.

As I'm out here walking, talking with you, I was back at the house. I am certain she's still asleep.

Probably will be for another maybe even a couple of hours. It's not a morning person.

And I know others who aren't morning people. I am. And for me, a nice long walk at the beginning

of the day is, dare I say it, perfect way to start the day?

It's not perfect.

It's pretty high up there.

It's pretty great.

There's something about moving first thing in the morning, moving with some intentionality and intensity, that just

feels really good.
