Today's 10 minute walk is helping you create a fitness habit you will love.

Hi, I'm Dave. I want to tell you about a friend of mine who has been walking two miles every day.

I'm not entirely sure how long he's been doing this, but it's been certainly been months,

and he's committed to doing this. And candidly, it's actually a little bit of a surprise that he's

doing it, but he is, and he doesn't like it. He's mentioned on multiple occasions that walking isn't fun, that it feels at times pointless.

I'm sure the reason behind the walk is for the health benefits. He's investing in his health. And so as he's getting older,

he wants to do things that will help him age well. But he has not found the fun in walking,

does not find the fun in walking and really looks at walking more as a means to an end

than something that is actually enjoyable and so some thoughts on this number one I admire my friend for making the commitment, for doing a hard thing.

And I suspect for him it's probably harder than certainly it is for me because he has to overcome this.

I don't feel like it. I don't enjoy this. I don't want to do this. Whereas for me,

it's like I can't wait to do this. And so he's made a commitment and he's doing

something even though he doesn't enjoy it, even though it's challenging. And I quite frankly

really admire that. This is not a highlight

to his day. It's very much a have to, not a get to. And I do think that, I don't know about for him,

because I don't want to say this specifically for him, because I don't know if it will be true or not.

But I do think as a general rule that if we

don't enjoy the fitness activity, if we're not having fun, we're going to be limited in what we can do.

Because I strongly believe that as you are pursuing fitness and it becomes a habit and you find the fun and you get some

momentum that you actually want to do more. It could be more walking or it could be other activities.

It's like I enjoy moving. I enjoy fitness. I want to see what else I can do.

I want to find other activities that are both healthy, that are beneficial, but also can increase
