Today's 10 minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made to yourself,

which will add another link to your growing fitness chain.

I'm out early morning. Before sunrise, I've got what I call early daylight, so I'm looking east right now.

And I can see, I guess what we would call the

sunrise can't see the sun because it has not come up over the horizon yet and it looks like

it's going to be a gorgeous sunrise and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day

and as I'm defining beautiful day it would be a day that has lots of sunshine.

I love sunshine, especially in the winter. Especially in the winter, those cold, gray, rainy days

are more of a challenge for me. But a sunny day in the winter, particularly at sunrise or

sunset behind trees that have lost their leaves and those bare branches that they're silhouetted

by the sunrise or the sunset. I just think that's stunningly beautiful. And as I can see,

off in the distance, that's exactly what I'm looking at. A little more than a month ago,

I asked the listeners of this podcast to take a brief survey, six questions. One of those

questions, what is your biggest fitness challenge right now?

And overwhelmingly, the number one answer was some variation of, I can't stay consistent.

I have a hard time with consistency. What is it about this idea of saying I'm going to do something and then not

being consistent with it? It's a challenge that I have felt my entire adult life, still feel

today when I make a commitment, when I say I'm going to do something,

and then following through, remaining consistent, it's hard. It's really, really hard. Welcome to

Walking is Fitness. This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation to help you

keep that fitness promise you made

yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. About 15 years ago, I started buying an annual Moleskin calendar.
