All right, let's do this. Let's take a 10-minute walk together. Welcome to walking is fitness,

a podcast of action because we are walking together for 10 minutes, holding each other accountable

for keeping our commitment to fitness.

This episode is sponsored by the Stepfit Plan.

If you've ever struggled with making a fitness commitment and getting it to stick,

the problem likely is at the very beginning, which is probably a, well, duh,

because that's usually when it goes off the

rails near the beginning. But specifically, it's about establishing a habit, a fitness habit.

Part of your routine that you don't even have to think about. It takes a while to get that

habit going. You know, we tend to think it's 30 days

because that's what we've been told. They've done some research on this, and it actually takes, on

average, 66 days to create a habit. Now, some of us can do this a little quicker than others.

Some actually need over 200 days. Doesn't matter

where you fall. The reality is it takes a long time and the stepfit plan will help you to start

walking as a fitness activity in a way that first creates that habit, moves on to fitness momentum,

and then eventually fitness transformation.

The Stepfit plan, it's effective, it's free, and it's yours.
