Got a meeting? Take a walk

Most people spend over nine hours a day sitting, even more than they sleep. This culture of constant sitting is linked to higher risks of diseases like breast cancer, colon cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Replacing traditional meetings with walking meetings not only improves physical health but also inspires fresh thinking. Walking side by side can lead to more productive conversations and lasting solutions.
