What would you do if you learned that walking had absolutely no health benefits whatsoever?

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

to help you keep that fitness promise you made to yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since

2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day. I am walking right now and would love to have you

join me for the next 10 minutes. I'm out even earlier than usual this morning. We've got

heat indices.

I think I even said that right.

Heat indices.

We've got a forecasted heat index later this afternoon of, I think it's 106.

So we are in a very hot, very sticky weather pattern here in South Carolina.

And not that I plan on totally hunkering down once those heat indices reach triple digits.

But I think I'm going to take advantage of the cooler temperatures

before the sun rises and you might even be able to hear it a little bit of a breeze now more than

a breeze which actually feels pretty good.

Thank you for joining me today.

I hope the weather where you are is to your liking.

So I was out walking the other day, and a question occurred to me.

It was kind of interesting, actually, at least to me.

What would I do if I pulled up on the internet a brand new massive study with the headline proclaiming walking has no health benefits.

It doesn't matter how fast you go, how far you go,

how often you go, no health benefits.

It's all just a myth.
