Add music. Listening to your favorite songs can make your walks more appealing. It’s not mandatory to go to a park to do it — just park your car not too far from your office and walk the rest of the way on foot. Or you can get off public transport a bit earlier than usual in order to walk 1-2 bus stops.
Take a dog with you. If you don’t have a dog, you can sign up as a volunteer to some animal shelter where, after passing an introductory course and undergoing short training, you will be able to walk dogs. You can also join in on the daily walks of your friend who has a dog.
Encourage your family members to join you. Instead of watching TV with your family, suggest you take a walk together.
Add diversity to your working day. Instead of sending e-mails to your colleagues, you can walk to their working place. When having a meeting, invite them not to sit in one place but to take a walk and discuss work matters while doing so. You can also use the stairs instead of the elevator.
