It\u2019s a healthy New Year\u2019s resolution with big dividends! Making time most days to get outside can positively affect your body, mind and mental health. Time outside can increase your focus, your sense of well-being, lower your blood pressure, provide your body with the essential Vitamin D it needs to thrive, and improve your fitness. If you suffer from the \u201cwinter blues\u201d (seasonal affective disorder), getting outside can cut down on episodes of depression. According to one study, even just sitting outside for 20 minutes can boost your energy level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Health experts suggest all of us need at least 150 minutes (2 \u00bd hours) a week of aerobic activity. Walking is considered the easiest, cheapest and most popular form of exercise, and about 60% of Americans report walking as their \u201cgo to\u201d exercise. But walking outside is so much more than getting your cardio in for the day. It is connecting with nature, and connecting with other people \u2013 stopping to chat with a neighbor, meeting a fellow walker who has a cute dog \u2013 interacting as part of a community. These connections are just as important to our mental health as walking is to our physical health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We were not \u201cbuilt\u201d to sit inside at a desk all day staring at devices; we were meant to get outside and move! As we enter 2026, let\u2019s resolve to get outside more and reap the benefits.<\/p>\n
