It's going to be another hot day in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Temperature expected to be up there, the humidity, going to be up there, which puts the heat index up there.

Why am I doing this? Why are you walking today? What is your why? The why that motivates you

to get out and walk even on those days when you don't feel like it and maybe there are days when you

really don't feel like it for whatever reason days when you don't feel great

when you're really tired when your schedule is super busy when you're traveling

and your routine is just totally disrupted and yet here you are out walking keeping

that fitness promise you made to yourself why do you do that what is your deepest why welcome fitness. This is a podcast of action, providing a little

extra motivation to help you keep the fitness promise you made to yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. Today's 10-minute

walk is powered by my Fitbit. What gets measured, gets improved. Talking about motivation today and your deepest why and

motivation I've learned comes in all sorts of layers and levels. There's strong motivation,

and there's motivation that might not be quite as strong, but still could provide that added spark you need.

And I have found that tracking my steps, particularly in those early days when I first got my Fitbit,

was huge motivation.

There was a self-competition which provided some motivation to really supersize what I was doing.

So for me, that Fitbit, that first Fitbit, provided a ton of motivation,

motivation that carries over now more than 10 years later.

If you don't have a step tracker and you're curious, what it could do for you,

how it could help your fitness journey.

There's a link in the show notes, and you can see the different models that Fitbit offers you.

I have stated on more than one occasion during our walks together that my why is I want to age well.

I've actually realized that my why has shifted a bit. The perspective on that why has shifted a bit.
