People with dogs go outside every day, rain or shine. Those without a cheerful four-legged friend often do so much less—especially now that the days are getting shorter, colder, and rainier. Still, a daily short walk is worth considering. You need some movement every day, and a dose of fresh air can work wonders—especially if you spend most of your time indoors staring at a screen. A walk is a great way to give both your body and mind some peace.
Plus, a short walk is easy to fit into your schedule. Just fifteen minutes a day can give your body a huge boost. And who doesn’t have fifteen minutes? Put your phone aside, put on your coat, and before you know it, you’re back home again.
Taking a short walk during your work break is also a great idea. You’ll have more energy afterward and be more productive. It also helps you slow down and boosts your creativity.
