| 0:00.0 | Today we answer an email question from Bob and a bonus question that no one has asked. |
| 0:10.0 | Yet. |

| 0:14.0 | This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made to yourself. |
| 0:21.8 | Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day. |
| 0:29.5 | I'm walking right now and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. |
