All right. You ready to do this thing? Ready to walk for 10 minutes together. Welcome to

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

accountable for keeping our commitment to fitness. This episode is sponsored by the Step

Fit Plan. This is a guide that will help you first establish an exercise, a fitness habit,

that eventually, if you stick with it, becomes fitness momentum and then on to fitness transformation.

Now, it sounds very easy, but that first part,

the habit is actually the biggest challenge. We've been told over and over and over and over again that it takes 30 days to create a habit. They've done research on this and it actually takes most of us more than twice that amount of time.

66 days to establish a habit and the key is how you get started.

The stepfit plan will help you start the right way so that that habit can stick and then it becomes fitness momentum and on to fitness transformation.

The stepfit plan, it's effective, it's free, and it is yours.

And I publicly made the commitment to get at least 20,000 steps every day for an entire year without taking a day off.

And the companion part of that challenge was that I did a made a daily post on Facebook and Instagram.

And initially, it started that the post would, I would be accountable, how many steps I got that day, and I would take a picture of something

that I saw that day that I was grateful for.

I did the hashtag strong heart, grateful heart.

And, you know, it started out the picture.

It started out pretty easy, although a little odd, like I think on the second or third day,
