Social Walking

In a study by Standford University, researchers found that walking boosts creative output, on average, by 60%. No wonder a lot of successful entrepreneurs have walking meetings. The next time you and someone else have a creative project to tackle, give it some legs and go on a walk. It may be just what you need!

Meditative Walking

Stressful day? Take a deep breath or quite a few. Strip away the stress of the day and be completely present on your next walk. The techniques used in static meditation can be applied while on a walk. Leave the house stressed, and return refreshed! My kind of walk.

Seated Walking

Of course, we had to add the miniTREAD® to the list. The miniTREAD is the evolution of the treadmill to walk while seated. Take 10 seconds and think about all the things you do while sitting. Now imagine a miniTREAD at your feet keeping you healthy, strong, focused and feeling good. No more choosing between exercise and the season premiere of your favorite show. Do it at the same time!
