Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent.

Let's go for a walk.

Got sunrise off to the east.

I don't think the sun will pop up as we are walking,

but it is certainly going to be getting lighter as we're walking out a little bit later today than usual which is okay

it's supposed to be a warm day heat index I think in the 90s so the walk that I take this afternoon is going to feel different from the walk that I'm taking now.

Skies are clear.

I thought we'd have some fun today on our 10-minute walk.

I pulled out five quotes, five quotes about walking that were said by some pretty famous people.

So we're going to start with Hippocrates, who was involved in medicine.

You've heard of the Hippocratic Oath that is part of the world of medicine.

Came from Hippocrates.

And Hippocrates once said, or wrote,

Walking is man's best medicine.

We've talked about the health benefits of walking.

If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you can probably recite the health

benefits based on research when we are consistently walking, adding some intensity occasionally to these walks,

we are lowering the risk of heart disease, we're lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes,

we're lowering the risk of some cancers, we're lowering the risk of dementia,

we're lowering the risk of an early death. This was research that Hippocrates did not have,

and yet he recognized that walking is man's best medicine.

And perhaps you've even heard it said that movement is medicine.
