| 0:00.0 | Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent. |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. Let's take a walk. |
| 0:10.0 | This comment from Mike, if you don't move as you age, you will rust. |
| 0:16.0 | I believe walking will extend my life, but also my quality of life as I age. |
| 0:21.6 | I've witnessed multiple family members that basically did nothing in the last 10 years of their |
