What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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, my clothes are getting much looser. Thanks again for the motivation. I look forward to your daily motivation.

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.

One walk at a time · Aug 2026

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 long as I live. Thanks for an encouraging podcast. Larry The Hill Walker.
