Today would be a great day to start a brand new 90-day fitness chain. I'll explain why in just a moment.

Welcome to Walking as 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. 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. You're probably going to hear as we walk together.

It is a windy morning here in Myrtle Beach.

Temperature is actually comfortable, so the wind feels good.

Unlike a few months ago, this would have been a wind chill,

and I would have been whining about how cold it is,

and why did I move 500 miles south for wind chills when about how cold it is and, you know, why did I move 500

miles south for wind chills when I could have gotten that and, you know, that's, that's whiny

weather, Dave. But weather really does have an impact on our walks. If you're walking outside

and you do that consistently throughout the year the weather's going to have an

impact and they're going to be those days and you've probably experienced some of them now that

we're into may where the weather in the northern hemisphere or in the spring in the southern hemisphere

of the fall is delightful it's ideal for walking.

And I think that's one of the reasons

why so many people

don't start fitness on January 1st,

really a terrible day to begin a brand new fitness journey.

Let's pick the worst weather possible.

Instead, you wait until the weather is nicer.
