Walking is a low-intensity form of exercise that delivers both physical and mental health benefits. It’s something that almost everyone can participate in and has also been shown to provide cognitive benefits with a 2014 study revealing unnamed 3 - Business Expressthat 81% of participants got a higher creative thinking test score when they were walking (compared to sitting).

The walking meeting routes do just that, promoting fresh air and exercise as well as enabling social distancing and reducing the risk of airborne transmission of the virus. There are also notable mental health benefits to be gained from spending time in nature.”
