You know what kills most New Year's goals, New Year's resolutions?

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 to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in

2013 and still take an intentional fitness walk every single day. I'm walking right now,

and I would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. It looks like it's going to be

a beautiful day here in South Carolina. I'm walking a little before sunrise.

I've got early daylight off to the east and the skies are clear.

And I think the forecast is for a full day of sunshine, but it's going to be cold.

In fact, right now we've got wind chills below freezing.

I have a good friend who, years ago, got into CrossFit, and I've never done CrossFit,

so my explanation may not be entirely accurate, but as I understand it, every day there's a different workout.

It's pretty intense.

It combines a bunch of different body weight exercises, strength training, aerobic, high intensity stuff.

And every day they have the workout of the day, a wad, and it changes from day to day to day.

And my friend, I've never seen him as excited about fitness and exercise as he was when he was doing CrossFit.

And at one point he was explaining what CrossFit is and the different workouts,

and he started demonstrating the workouts.

I remember thinking, how long is this going to last?

I've always loved this time of year.

Brand new year feels like a clean slate.

And like so many others, you know, I take advantage of setting New Year's resolutions.
