So true!!! I got a treadmill desk for work and it changed my life. It's amazing, I started walking 10 miles a day (never thought I would walk that much consistently) I walked slowly between 1.7 - 2.5 mph. Not only did I have better mental clarity and less depression, but in the first 10 days I lost 10 lbs. Had no idea this would happen. I have lost over 25 lbs since starting. And I've kept the weight off. But there are so many other benefits to walking. I even had clearer skin - its incredible. Walking at work changed my life. I enjoy work so much more now. Sitting down all day is the worst. Whatever you do just start walking more.

I had depression for the first time a few years ago. My friends saved me by forcing me to go out to nature and bushwalk/trek with them. Within 2 months I felt better, healthier and mentally stronger. Huge difference given I was in a depressed state for 6 months - barely able to get up, laying in bed ruminating and crying, unmotivated to do anything and feeling hopeless - to becoming motivated again, started taking care of myself, sleeping better and reintegrating into society

Exercise (walking included) raises dopamine in our brain and dopamine is our motivation chemical. What people don't realise is when you get up in the morning your dopamine is at zero. You need dopamine to create dopamine. Therefore if we force ourselves to walk for a while, knowing how this will help us, we will then have enough motivation to Continue with other things. Start small and build on it.

Listening to this great video while walking. My grandparents lived till their mid-90s and walked twice a day without fail, even with a cane.

I've read that Charles Dickens was walking for a couple of hours per day. That should tell you something about the link between walking and creativity.

3 years ago I underwent psychotherapy for low mood and anxiety. I'd have a walk after each session in woods and countryside. It was then things fell into place. .. my walks now are certainly medicine, best discovery in an age for me

I currently have a bunch of projects on the go. Now that spring is here it is much more fun to do them outside. I don't necessarily go for a walk but being and moving outside to do these things makes a huge difference to how creative I am when problem-solving my endeavors - A game-changer for me... And of course - l sleep on it - for all my projects. The outcomes have always been better and much more fulfilling to do, as they evolve towards completion...

I spent 3 months in a pstchiatric unit & I didn't really understand why they insisted on going out for a walk everyday, one reason ''for me'' was that fact that I so weak & had no enery what so ever due to the fact that at that time I was officially a third down on my Thyroxine. As a result of not being monitored in the comunity. They had written it off as depression. This was back in 2003, now it all makes sense.

This was not popular with my partners until they saw that it did increase productivity, mood and office camaraderie. We didn’t have the advantage of going outside but just the moving would change people’s perception. I could not live happily without my daily walks with my dog in nature.

I walk alone. During the walk i get novel ideas. I am 68

I’m 26, and I have been walking around 10-15 kilometres every day for about 8 years. Also, if I have a problem, I go for a walk. If I need to get somewhere, I generally walk. However, from my own experience, benefits to your mood from walking require the right conditions. For example, if you have a severe case of depression (which I had a few years ago), walking can stimulate negative feelings and thoughts, making the depression worse. Not good. However, over the last few years I would rate my mood day to day an 8. I no longer have depression due to lifestyle and diet changes. And walking always makes me feel fantastic.
