- Call a colleague, family member, or friend and talk on the phone while you walk
- Encourage those in your place of residence to walk with you – kids, spouse, etc.
- Take your pet on a walk – good for you, good for them
- Go it alone and enjoy the quiet and peace of the day away from everyone else
- Or, join the ISU WellBeing team via Webex every Friday!
