Today I want to talk about two very important components of fitness transformation.

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 began 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. Before we get started, I need to make certain that you understand on the front end that I'm not a doctor,

I'm not a licensed personal trainer, I'm not a therapist or a psychologist. This podcast is for education and entertainment purposes only.

Here we are in the first week of a brand new year, and a lot of us

are pursuing goals, New Year's goals, New Year's resolutions, and a lot of folks are focused

on the area of health, health, wellness, and fitness, and are looking towards transformation.

I want to read you an email that I recently received from a listener to the podcast, Kim,

and I also want to say that because Kim gets very personal, I did ask her permission to share this email.

So I'm going to be reading the email off my phone as I'm walking, which could be a very interesting experience.

I'm in as safe an environment as could be.

I'm not near traffic.

I'm not walking where I could bump into other people, although I could.

And if I don't pay attention, walk into a tree,

which would be both embarrassing and probably make for some interesting audio. All right, so here's what Kim writes. Hi, Dave. Found your podcast recently. I think someone mentioned it on the

Star Today Facebook group that the Today Show has about walking,

and I love it.

I've been listening to an episode or two every day or so while I walk.

I'm learning a lot and enjoying your podcast tremendously.
