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

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's take a walk. I was listening to a podcast recently, and the guest was

Soundtracks are those things that we tell ourselves.

They're typically consistent, the same types of things that we tell ourselves.

And these soundtracks shape the decisions that we make, how we think about ourselves in terms of fitness,

We make decisions based on these soundtracks.

So let me run through five unhelpful soundtracks, things that we tell ourselves.

And maybe one of these is a soundtrack that you're familiar with.

I know that these are soundtracks that I'm familiar with

and how these soundtracks have had to change over the years.
