Walking meetings are typically held with two or three people over a set route and period—often 30 minutes. They can take place at a nearby park or even in office hallways. Some people are using walking meetings to boost their daily step counts. Others are spurred by mounting research on the physical and mental benefits of being more mobile at work.
One of the few studies on walking meetings, published this year, demonstrated their potential. The three-week study, co-written by Dr. Alberto J. Caban-Martinez, a physician and scientistat the University of Miami, showed a 10-minute gain among the 17 participants in weekly physical activity after they added walking meetings.
