“If you planned to walk five times a week for 30 minutes each walk, but only managed 20 minutes for a day or two per week, this is not the time to quit. It’s time to realize that you actually can make lasting change — because you already have!”

Small steps. They may seem inconsequential, but think of the first small step a baby takes. That initial halting step changes a child’s whole identity from infant to toddler. And the steps you’re taking toward greater health and well-being are changing who you are as well.

So lace up your shoes and start walking!
