    I really enjoy your daily information and motivation. I retired July 1 after spending 38 years in a sales career. While I had periods of attempted exercise nothing was permanent. After I retired I thought it’s time to get in shape. Six weeks ago I started walking and have worked my way up. I generally walk twice a day morning and evening. I’m getting 10,000 steps a day or more and starting to see changes to my body. Yesterday I had my blood pressure taken. 117/70. Feeling good. In addition... more

  • Enjoy the Podcadt

    I listen to your podcast every morning while I do a 10 minute EMOM (every minute on the minute) of 10 sets of 10 pushups and 10 air squats for a total of 100 each and walking in the seconds between sets. It gets my day started and I know it’s not going for the walk but I still look forward to the interesting info you always put out and the motivational way in which you do it. Thanks for the work you do that makes my mornings enjoyable.

    Started in July and have only missed one day. I don’t know Dave at all but somehow he feels like an accountability partner in my journey to move more. Motivating and encouraging.

  • 80 Year Old Hill Walker

    My first walk of the day is with Dave and it is up a steep hill on a sidewalk. It takes about 10 minutes to reach the top where I stop to take my oxygen and heart rate readings. Before I found this podcast I had walked the hill occasionally but now I walk it daily except for two days I was ill. I am using the hill and the podcast to challenge my emphysema and increase lung capacity slightly. This is not my only walking exercise but it gets me off to a good start. I really want to stay mobile as ... more

  • Peaceful accountability

    I can’t remember when I first subscribed to this podcast, but I began listening daily during a 30 day walking challenge he did back in June 2026. When I successfully completed that, I now am currently in a personal challenge to do more and to continue daily walks even when to-do lists, energy levels, or health tries to dictate otherwise. I love my walks with Dave.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Minimum Daily Walking Effort?
Q: What is Dave's minimum walking effort each day when the weather is not conducive to outside walking?
Dave's minimum is a 20-minute walk shortly after breakfast. He says it supports gut motility and that he finds a way to do it unless he is sick or injured, including walking hotel hallways when weather is poor.
The Clothing We Wear While Walking Can Make Or Break A Walking Habit
Q: What do you normally wear clothing wise when you walk?
Dave describes his warm-weather clothing, footwear and socks, then shares how he adjusts layers and headwear in cold weather. He recommends trying different clothing when discomfort affects a walk.
What Distracts You While Walking?
Q: Nancy asks how to handle the 30 Day Fitness Chain Tracker when days are missed.
The host explains there is no single right rule; people dye fill in later or leave gaps, and the goal is to move forward and do at least one more day than the previous month.
Can Walking Grow Hair?
Q: Does walking grow hair?
Walking can positively affect three systemic triggers of hair thinning—blood flow, stress, and hormonal balance—so while it may not prevent genetic baldness, it can have a positive impact on hair health for many people.
An Important Conversation About Shoes
Q: What shoes do you recommend?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer; it's best to consult a professional to tailor footwear to your feet and needs, and consider a wider toe box and gradual transition toward fewer cushions as you build strength.
