Today's 10 minute walk is helping you create a walking habit you will love.

Hi, I'm Dave. If you're brand new, welcome.

I have intentionally chosen today's walking location because of the topic that I'm going to be talking about.

I am walking along a wooded trail.

And if you've been listening to the podcast for a while,

you know this is not the first time I've walked along this trail.

This is one of my favorite places to walk and to record episodes of

walking his fitness. And if you're new and you haven't heard me describe it, it is a non-paved

trail between in the midst of a wooded area. I wouldn't call it woods because this trail is not super long, maybe three,

four tens of a mile and I can see one end I'm looking at and I can see houses, a neighborhood

that's beyond that entrance. And the other end I can see a road and a parking lot. So it's not

like I'm out in the middle of wilderness.

But you can hear the birds chirping and it is filled with trees.

Most of these are tall pine trees and there's a lot of pine needles on the path where I'm walking.

It's really, it's nice. I enjoy it. It's quiet. It's secluded to a certain degree.

And I wanted to specifically walk here today because of a video that someone sent me.

I think this was Charlie.

Charlie sends me a lot of information, articles, videos about walking, also about coffee

because we share a love of coffee and I really

appreciate Charlie and the information that he sends me. But this was a short

video that was on YouTube and it simply is entitled join nature's gym. And then the video was all about how nature provides this wonderful gym for fitness and exercise.

And I agree.
