What is the purpose of today’s 10‑minute walk and the final day of the 30‑Day Walking Challenge?
So what's next? Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation and encouragement to get out, take the walk, and build a life-changing walking habit. Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this. I am on my back porch with a box I just got from Topo Athletic. These contain my new shoes. ST6, these are minimal shoes, wide toe box, all the topo athletic shoes come with a wide toe box. My shoes have a zero drop. This part of a journey I've been on to make my feet stronger, to move towards a more minimal shoe. With Topo Athletic, they've got shoes for every need: minimal shoes, maximal cushion. They've got road shoes, trail shoes, recovery shoes.
shoes, race shoes. Alright, let's open the box. And there's a box inside the box. And these are nice looking. And very light. Very light. Let's pull the inserts out, try them on. Boy, I can feel the difference the wide toe box makes instantly. By the way, Topo Athletic, brand new sponsor of Walking is Fitness. You can check them out. Again, TopoAthletic.com. You can do your shopping online. You can also see where you can pick up Topo shoes at a retailer near you.
How do the new Topo Athletic shoes feel and why does the wide toe box matter?
Alright, leaving the back porch. Walking in and yeah this wide toe box makes a huge difference. So I'm gonna be wearing these and I'll give you an update shortly. In the meantime, check them out, Topo Athletic, T-O-P-O, Topoathletic.com. It is day 29 of the 30-day walking challenge. Someone on YouTube last week left a comment. Can't wait to see what's next. I'll talk about that in a moment. And in case you're wondering, I didn't mention it yesterday. I am today walking on the trail that overlooks that wooded area where there's been a smoldering fire, brush fire. And yesterday afternoon didn't see any smoke coming out of that area. Took a bike ride down here. And as I'm walking this morning I don't see any smoke.
Don't smell any smoke. So I'm going to assume that that fire has extinguished, maybe even burned itself out. This listener writes the 30-day challenge has been great for accountability. I missed one day when I was sick. On rainy days I have used a walk-at-home video here on YouTube, but mainly I walk in the cemetery behind my house at sunrise. Several times I've seen deer along with the usual rabbits, squirrels, and birds. Like you, I have six kids and I have a son. and in the Marines, currently stationed at Camp Pendleton. The chatty podcast usually makes the time pass quickly and I usually stay out a little longer. Thanks for everything. Thanks for listening. Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment on the YouTube channel.
Real quick, this viewer listener mentions that I mainly walk in the cemetery behind my house at sunrise. And I know that can hit you a little differently. Here's how it hit me. I love walking through cemeteries. And where we live now, I don't have any cemeteries that I'm aware of nearby. There's something about walking through a cemetery that causes me, prompts me to remember that life is short. And that's powerful. So another viewer on YouTube wondered: so what's next? Can't wait to see what's next. So I have loved doing this 30-day walking challenge, and this will not be the only walking challenge, 30-day walking challenge. Challenge that we do together. The next one is scheduled for September first. Going to call it the 30-day fall walking challenge because autumn can be can be a real challenge.
On one hand, the weather is incredible. It's inviting to get out and take a walk. But on the other hand, I don't know about you, but I have often found that the schedule gets really packed in autumn. There's a lot to Do. And so I think as we get into autumn, get into fall, get into what for many, perhaps even you, is a really busy season, it'll be helpful to really solidify or perhaps renew the daily commitment to getting out and taking a walk because of all the benefits, especially during a busy season of life. So that's next, another 30-day walking. Challenge starting on September 1st.
