If sometimes you feel alone in this pursuit of fitness, I have some encouragement for you today.

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'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 want to thank Stacey. St Stacy is now a supporter of the podcast.

And Stacy, thank you for your generous support. Stacey also left this note.

Hi, Dave. Happy to support you monthly. Walking as Fitness is my first experience with a podcast. I've been listening since

January 2020, although I've been walking for weight loss and healthy habits before that. I've lost

60 pounds in 2022 and feel so much better. Since I discovered your podcast, it's opened up a whole new world. Being a

retired teacher, I now have the opportunity to learn about what I want as I am no longer tethered

to lesson planning. I so enjoy your daily topics and motivation. I also think I learned about the

Conqueror community on Facebook

through your podcast. That's been a fun game changer too. I just received my Yellowstone

Challenge Medal for a 75-mile virtual walk. Thanks for all you do. So enjoy hearing your voice.

Each workout, keep moving. Stacey, thank you.

I love how you are using podcasts to learn new things. And that's one of the hopes and goals that I had with this podcast. In fact, it's one of the reasons why I keep it to 10

minutes. I don't want to dominate your walk time, just help you get started, and then you can move on

to other podcasts, audiobooks, and really, it does open up a whole new world of learning for you.

Anyhow, Stacey, thank you for your message.

Thank you for your support.
