Lesson: Strolling
How many steps have you taken today? There are many reasons to take a walk. When we think about purposefully going for a walk, we often concentrate on the physical health benefits of movement.

Did you know it has been proven that walking is good for the mind? It’s not just walking with a purpose, either, but strolling. The great intellectuals of yesteryear (a new word for you) took long daily strolls and swore that without these walks, they would not have been able to accomplish all that they did.
