| 0:00.0 | Today, the question, what would you do? Welcome to walking is fitness. This is a podcast of action, |
| 0:12.6 | providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made yourself. |
| 0:18.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013. Still take an intentional fitness walk |
| 0:24.4 | every single day. I'm walking right now and I would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. |
| 0:31.8 | Recently saw a Facebook post from Barb. This is in the Start Today Facebook group, which is organized and run by |
| 0:41.3 | the Today Show. It's a Facebook group with well over 100,000 people who are focused on fitness |
| 0:49.3 | and are there to encourage and inspire and motivate each other. |
| 0:55.4 | And the fitness activity of choice for most of the folks who are posting in this group is walking. |
| 1:02.8 | And it's just fun to hear others' experiences, their stories, their journey. And when they're struggling, they're honest |
| 1:16.5 | and they're vulnerable. And lots of members of the group will rally around and offer some |
| 1:21.7 | encouragement and support and advice. And if you're not a member of the Start Today Facebook group, I would encourage you to |

| 1:34.2 | very inspiring and encouraging. Recently, Barb posted, she was going to her gym. She was going to |
| 1:40.6 | swim laps in the pool at the gym. She got there early. In fact, she got there |
| 1:46.5 | really early. In fact, she got there too early. Gym wasn't open yet. She got there before the gym |
| 1:53.4 | was open. If that happened to you, what would you do? What would you do? I'll tell you what Barb did in a moment, but think through for a moment. |
| 2:04.5 | You're going to the gym, going there for a workout, and you arrive, and it's not open yet. |
| 2:10.4 | Got there too early. |
| 2:12.1 | This was more than a couple of minutes, by the way. |
| 2:13.9 | I don't know how long it was, but it wasn't like the gym opened at 6 o'clock and she got there at 5.58. So you had a chunk of time. You had a chunk of time. |
| 2:23.7 | You misjudged or you misremembered when the gym opened or they changed it since the last time |
| 2:29.7 | you were there. That's always a possibility. Years ago, when I was still trying to do the whole gym thing, |
