I love this approach, but I actually never thought it could lead to more walking, but I guess it can.

Hi, I'm Dave.

Welcome to Walking as Fitness.

This is a daily podcast that encourages you to get out and take the walk, to build the habit, and to stay consistent. Today's 10 minute walk starts right after this.

left a comment to one of the Walking is Fitness YouTube shorts.

And she says, Love this. Love this this video I do a lot of walking some short

walks some long walks five days a week I walk five minutes before driving to work

five minutes at work five minutes at lunch and then five minutes before leaving work. That practice gives me an extra

20 minutes every workday without much planning, time or effort. I work in early education.

We are trained to help children with tasks for five minutes at a time.

I applied the approach to myself.

Best wishes.

I love this.

I call these fitness snacks.

These short walks. You know, on one hand, we can think about a short walk, a five-minute walk,

and if you've already got a fitness habit established, some momentum, you can wonder,

so what's the point?

What's the benefit in doing that?

Now just to circle back, I want to be real clear that when you're getting started

and you don't have the habit yet, these short walks are super important.

You know, a 10 minute walk, I think is a great starting point.
