Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent, so let's go for a walk.

This walk that you and I take 10 minutes long, there is incredible value in 10-minute walks.

One of my early Walking-I- Fitness YouTube videos was about how a daily 10-minute walk can change your life.

And I firmly, strongly, solidly believe that.

That if you take a 10-minute walk every day, it is going to change your life in a whole bunch of different ways.

And that's not what this podcast, this episode is about.

I'm just stating that I think short walks, 10-minute walks are incredibly valuable and can be

life-changing.

And if you want to hear more about that, got a link to the Walkiness Fitness YouTube channel. You can tap that. And this video is from, I think I released it

on March 13th of this year. So it was earlier this year and it is one of my most viewed videos to date.

Today I want to flip that coin and talk about the value of a long walk. Why long walks can be

valuable.

And if you, by the way, are just getting started, building a fitness habit,

I am not suggesting that you abandon the idea of short walks to build that habit,

but maybe just sort of laying out there that at some point as your fitness capacity grows and that habit gets established, that every now and then, you can take a longer walk.

And what do I mean by a long walk? It's going to be relative. For some, right now, 10 minutes is a long walk. If you have been consistently walking

for 10 minutes, a long walk for you might be 30 minutes. For me, a long walk these days is

probably about 45 minutes, 45 minutes to an hour.

So there will be times when I'll open the door, head out, and I'm getting back in the house, maybe an hour later.

There are probably not as much now,

but when we lived in Maryland and I would drive into Washington, D.C. on a Saturday morning, which I tried to do a bunch of times every year. And I would park my car,

get some coffee at my favorite coffee shop, Ebeneezers, and then I would go for a walk.
