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

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's take a walk.

I want to read for you a comment to one of the Walking is Fitness YouTube videos.

This is from a viewer named Ruth.

And this was her comment. I don't actually remember which

video this this comment was left with but that really doesn't matter I'm gonna

stop walking just for a moment and read this it's boring I walk a lot and I've walked every inch of this neighborhood over and over again,

and I'm so tired of it. I was thrilled to move to a new neighborhood and walk in a new place,

but that was several years ago. I listen to podcasts, and I vary my route, but the days when I don't get out of the door and walk

are the days when I just don't want to look at the same things I've seen so many times already.

It's great exercise. It makes a huge difference, but it's so boring.

That is from Ruth. Can you relate? I know Ruth is not alone in that.

I've, candidly, never felt the boredom to the depth that Ruth seems to explain in this comment.

There have been times when opening the door and getting out has been a little more challenging because I don't want to do it.

The excitement level isn't super high and usually weather is a factor there. The weather's a little more challenging and it's like, I really don't want to.

And probably there's an underlying feeling of boredom with that.

I've done episodes, podcast episodes, about how to make walking more fun, how to keep it fun,

how to find the fun. I've done a Walking His Fitness YouTube video about making it more fun recognizing that

Ruth isn't alone there are others who find walking every day and I think that's the

key here every day doing it consistently and that can get boring and Ruth has actually done some of the things that

I recommend in fact at the end of the YouTube video where I talk about ways to make it

exciting ways to make it more fun.
