| 0:07.1 | Hi, I'm Dave. |
| 0:07.9 | Welcome to Walkenus Fitness. |
| 0:09.6 | This is a daily podcast providing a little added motivation to help you get out and take the walk. |
| 0:14.9 | Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this. |
| 0:23.6 | I don't know her name. I'm making the assumption that this is a woman. |
