| 0:00.0 | Just yesterday, I discovered a way to make your walks, to make my walks super fun. |
| 0:13.2 | Welcome to walking as fitness. |
| 0:15.1 | This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness |
| 0:19.9 | promise you made to yourself. |
| 0:21.6 | Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013. |
| 0:25.6 | Still take an intentional fitness walk every single day. |
| 0:29.6 | I'm walking right now and I'd love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. |
| 0:33.6 | Today I actually want to give you two ideas to make your walks more interesting, more challenging, more fun. |
| 0:43.2 | The first comes from Jackie, a listener. Jackie sent me an email, said that in addition to walking daily, |
| 0:51.0 | Jackie is now going to pursue 5,000 steps every morning. |
| 0:57.8 | So Jackie has a regular walking routine, regular fitness routine, and for a month, for a month, |
| 1:06.8 | Jackie is adding the additional challenge of 5,000 extra steps every morning. |
| 1:13.3 | And I've done this from time to time where I supersized what I'm doing. |
| 1:17.5 | I supersized my walking. |
| 1:19.8 | I push myself, add some extra steps for usually it's a period of 30 days a month. |
| 1:37.3 | Soon after I got my Fitbit. In fact, I think it was the month that I actually made the decision to stop running for fitness and start walking for fitness. That was the month of May. |
| 1:40.3 | I supersized the challenge that month and set a goal of 25,000 steps every day for an entire month, which, by the way, I did not make. Right in the middle, right in the middle. I had a day where I just didn't feel like it. Didn't feel like it. I was 10 years ago, and I still remember that. That, by the way, was a little extra motivation a couple of years later when I set the goal |
| 2:06.6 | to reach a million steps during the month of July. It was July 2015. |
| 2:12.6 | And there were days when I thought, why did I do this? Why did I set this goal? And the answer that I kept giving |
| 2:22.7 | myself and will tell you is it really wasn't about the steps. It wasn't about the fitness. |
| 2:29.3 | It was about I want to do a hard thing. And I want to see if I have it in me to do a hard thing when I don't |
| 2:35.6 | feel like it, because I knew that I wouldn't. The point here is not set a goal of 25,000 steps |
