Our oldest son has always enjoyed asking his siblings and his mom and me, what I would call

these silly and even impossible questions, but they get you thinking.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking Us Fitness, a daily podcast that provides a little added motivation to get out and take the walk.

Today, one of those silly, maybe even impossible questions during today's walk, which starts

right after this.

I love coffee. I love coffee as much as walking. Actually do I? I don't know that I've ever really thought about it.

So using the filter, if I could only have one coffee or walking, which would it be? It'd be walking.

The coffee's a close second. A cup of coffee used to be the first thing that I had every morning and then decided to change

things around to make that a little bit of a micro reward for being intentional about pursuing fitness.

And so now the first thing I do is a walk.

It's a 10-minute walk on a treadmill. It's in my home office. This is not my first walk of the day.

After that treadmill walk, I drink 10 ounces of water. I have a 25 ounce

water bottle and I drink half the bottle before coffee. And then, because I've got the coffee brewing as I'm drinking that water

the coffee is brewing so as soon as I hit the halfway mark in that call in that

water bottle I'm out to the kitchen and pouring that first cup of coffee the other day

I was thinking you know there are some parallels between coffee

and walking. And anytime I have the opportunity to do an episode that combines coffee with walking,

I take advantage of that. And I don't think this is a stretch.

I don't think this is a stretch at all.

These six, six parallels,

similarities between coffee and walking.

Number one, both are good for you.
