Dr. Marily Oppezzo has great research on health and walking cited on this page. A 2021 study on older adults found motivation for physical activity and walking benefits from strategies and utilizing the surrounding environment to motivate. The more strategies, the better.
How about a Walk and Talk meeting? |

A workplace intervention study (see 2. in Footer) found positive benefits on blood pressure, mood, and restoration from mental fatigue when exercising outdoors!!! Make your work meetings in nature if possible, or create more nature filled inside and outside areas at work so you can get that restoration!
