- Walking can be a powerful fitness activity...if you do it consistently. In this video, Dave talks about five things you can do, starting today, to create a daily walking habit.
If you're struggling to make fitness stick, you're invited to try the Walking is Fitness podcast. There's a new ten-minute episode every day that will help you for a fitness habit that lasts. And, to keep it fun, Dave records each episode while he's out walking too.

Excellent list Dave!!! When I started I knew if I was going to walk; I had to do it the first thing in the morning......the evenings; I am too tired and less motivated than in the morning. Creating my daily walking habit has created even more positive habits. I'm a true believer in walking as fitness. I'm so glad I started walking and I'm glad I found Dave and that he is an evangelist for walking!! ❤
Love this comment!!
I am on day 50 of a 30 minute walk each day! I fill in a square on a 100 square page. Several times because of unforeseen obligations , I have walked at 10:30 at night because I didn’t want to break the cycle! Sometimes I say , I have to report to Dave, he told me to, and so go for my walk😀 I am 75 and reporting in to my teacher! Thanks Dave!
This is so sweet! You’re inspiring Bonnie!
❤Thank you for your encouragement! I’m 65 with T2, and I don’t walk. I’m going to start walking!! 😊
It will change your life for the better. ❤
Great decision! Thanks for watching
I am up to 8000 steps a day. Have been walking every day, except the very hot days in summer, since the end July. Thanks for your motivating videos.
Thank you for watching!
What a helpful perspective to share. Thank-you!
Thank you for watching
I'm up to 5 miles a day thanks dave 🙏
Thanks for watching!
How long does it take you?
This video is contains excellent advice. I have been a jogger, and in recent decades a walker, for 50 years, and it is only on seeing this video that I have realised why I have been able to consistently maintain my jogging/walking regime. I have subconsciously been adopting these 5 strategies all along. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wishes to improve or maintain their health and fitness.
That’s so great! Thanks for watching
Your videos make perfect sense. I’ve been walking for yrs. I created that habit and I feel physically and mentally healthy. I don’t consider it exercise . . . I’m just getting out and taking a walk. It’s wonderful‼️
Maybe I should rename the channel Walking is Wonderful. Love it!
Even though I'm a life long walker, I still have days when I need encouragement. The weather is getting chilly here in northern MI and I don't always feel like it. Thank you for being the motivation to keep going. 🏃🏻♀❤
I walk every day during the winter regardless of temperature and wear yak traks when footing is questionable
Thank you for watching!
Always great to get my Wednesday am dose of encouragement 🎉 thank you Dave!
Thank you!
Hi! I love your short motivational walking videos! One question I have is this. Do you ever not walk due to bad weather?
There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad or unsuitable clothing!
The short answer is I don’t use weather as a reason to not walk. If I have to, I’ll walk inside. Thanks for watching
I started a 30 day walking challenge for myself - thank you for the motivation
Thank you for watching!
We're up north so walking in winter offers unique challenges. For example, sidewalks that are not cleared, black ice, and just the cold weather itself. However, it's nothing that cannot be overcome so we have no excuses not to walk during winter.
If winter weather gets really treacherous in our northern Ontario climate , I have several walking videos ready to use. I WILL walk in the house if it’s too such too icy outside or blizzard like.
Love your commitment!
Thank you for your videos. I did what you suggested just walk everyday it doesn't matter how long or how far just do it.
Thank you for watching!
The injury part is hard. Current orders are every other days, and if that doesnt work with a compression sock Im supposed to drop to 3 days on, 3 days off. Fingers crossed it works and I can build back up to daily walks.
Any advise on walking with bad weather, during allergy seasons and personal safety. Whats your opinion on mall walking.
I think mall walking is great. I’ve walked many steps in my basement when going outside wasn’t a good option. The health before of walking don’t discriminate where the steps happen
I love your podcast, this video was super motivating! 😊 keep up the great advice
Thank you!
Good list and very encouraging.
Thank you for watching
I am walking from 1995 ,sometime a bit less ,sometime with more fun . Thank You for Your encurisment
Thank you for watching!
Darwin used to walk .. he could think and solve the questions in his mind. He would place a pebble on the table at the end of his walk. If he had not solved the issue.. He would walk again and place another pebble . The solutions were one, two or three pebbles depending on the complexity...
I’ve never heard that. What a great story. Thanks for watching
I do a daily walk of 4 to 6 miles, mostly between 6 and 8 am every day. Easier for me because I’m retired, and nearing my 73 rd birthday
I love your commitment!
It gets very icy and cold here in Winnipeg.. scared of breaking a hip and freezing.
Any tips ?
Kahtoola microspikes and similar traction aids.
Yak trax to attach to your walking shoes. I bought mine on amazon
Sadly, my advice is going to ring hollow since we moved 500 miles south to escape the Maryland winters which I’m sure are tame compared to Winnipeg winters.
@@WalkingisFitness yes it brutal here in Winter and with the wind it cuts through exposed skin like needles
I fell on icy pavement years ago on my back hit the back of my head , ended up with a concussion.. out of commission for 3 weeks. Worst experience,
Thinking I should wear s helmet in winter.. lol.
Do you walk in the rain?
Walking can be done in increments, right?
I would think so. Heck it all adds up…if I have a crazy busy day, even in my 2000 sf. Ranch, I’ve even clocked 10 grand, depending on the situation…I notice also if I go out and walk 20-30 minutes, it seems to give you the edge to 10 thou for the day.
Yes!
Once i get add free RUclips or Spotify then i will listen to your stuff 😊😊😊
Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching
Thank you. With the political crap going on, I need to walk. Blessings to you. ❤ 🕊 ❤
Lol. Unfortunately, one will win. 😮
Thank you!
I don't know who's walking only 4 000 steps per day. Mayby if you don't leave your home... 10000 isn't that much.
Please mention consistency next time, walking without consistency offers fewer health benefits than otherwise.
He does speak about actual is he not saying it here
Consistency is key. It’s where we find the benefits of any fitness activity!
