Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent.

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk. It is a calm day here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Got a comment. I want to share with you you this was to one of the walking is

fitness YouTube videos actually this comment is a question the viewer says hi

love your short motivational walking videos one question I have this. Do you ever not walk due to bad weather?

I'll answer that in a moment. But I, as I was thinking about this question, I was thinking about

a little more broadly. Because what underlies that question?

Making an assumption here, and this is not a unique question or a unique comment,

that weather can challenge our motivation to get out and walk. I mean it's easy to be motivated when the weather

outside is beautiful and comfortable and pleasant. Rarely does that challenge our

motivation but when the weather is not comfortable when the weather is difficult is what we don't like,

that can really challenge our motivation.

So what I wanted to think about, what I wanted to talk about,

and how I want to answer this question is a little bit broader than the weather.

And so the question that I'm going to pose to myself is,

hey, Dave, what challenges your motivation to walk?

You walk every day.

You've said from time to time,

you aren't always highly motivated to get out and walk. So what is it that challenges your motivation?

This is starting to feel a little weird that I'm talking to myself this way.

So that's the question that I'm asking and we'll answer.

There are five things, five things that can challenge my motivation to walk.
