Today I want to talk about a life hack made possible by walking. Welcome to walking is fitness.

This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness

promise you made to yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about

We were moving out of a house that we had lived in for 23 years

that had a lot of work that needed to be done. And I knew that. And as we had been looking ahead and
