It's Wednesday. It's hump day. It's dark. It's cold.
But do you know what can turn your day around? A walk.
You can walk with music, with silence, alone, with someone and for no reason at all.
Wrap up and head out.
A walk can change your mood, your energy and your day.

One of the best ways to get to know someone is to go on a walk with them.
Your body relaxes, your mind opens up and conversation starts flowing.
So our questions to you are:
👣 Who have you been on a walk with?
👣 Who should you go on a walk with?
Your body relaxes, your mind opens up and conversation starts flowing.
