| 0:00.0 | Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay consistent with fitness. |
| 0:07.0 | How are you enjoying the time change? |
| 0:09.0 | Been almost a week now. |
| 0:11.0 | Still getting used to the sun rising an hour later. |
| 0:16.0 | Most mornings, in fact, every morning I'm up before the sun is up, and I'm out walking and recording in the dark. |
| 0:26.1 | Same with today. |
