All right, the mystery of the random steps on my step tracker has been solved.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking His Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you

with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, and more importantly,

to keep going to build a consistent life-changing walking habit.

Today's 10-minute walk get started right after this.

I'll get to the mysterious steps on my step tracker in just a moment, but because today is the day after Quidders Day, by the way,

if you're listening, if you're walking, well done. I was curious, so I walked past a lake that is

near our community. This lake has a circular path around it. And a week ago, lots of people walking on that path around the lake.

And I was curious now the day after Quidders' day if there were as many people. And the answer is

no, there aren't. And it's not a weather issue because today, while not warm, it's not cold.

It's a mild morning in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

So in the walking friends community, I put up a poll yesterday with the question,

so one weekend, how are your walking slash fitness goals going and

there were five answer options going strong couple of speed bumps but overall they're going well

that's option two three struggling but not giving up four giving up and then

five I didn't make any fitness goals walking goals so no one selected giving up

that's good three percent said I didn't make any. Coming in third place, a couple of speed bumps,

but overall they're going well. In second place, with 28% going strong. And the number one

answer, selected by 47 percent of the

people who responded to the poll in the walking friends community struggling but not

giving up angel left this comment I recommitted to my 10,000 steps for the new

year I love walking and through the summer
