As we continue to shelter in place during the Covid-19 pandemic, going for walks has become a regular activity for many people. Not only is it a great way to get out of the house for a bit, but it\u2019s fairly easy to maintain the suggested 6-feet of social distance<\/a>. And while it might be tempting to hop in the car and drive to a hiking trail or the beach, walking around your own neighborhood has multiple benefits, too.<\/p>\n

\n1. Meet Your Neighbors<\/strong>
\nDaily walks in your community are a great chance to get to know your neighbors\u2014and not just the ones next door, but the ones down the road or around the corner. Don\u2019t be afraid to strike up a conversation; a smile and a \u201cgood morning!\u201d<\/a> can go a long way. Consider asking someone how long they\u2019ve lived in the neighborhood, or comment on their garden. Taking the time to build stronger bonds with those living around you makes your neighborhood a friendlier place. Just don\u2019t forget to keep social distance!<\/p>\n

\n2. Discover Local Businesses<\/strong>
\nGoing on a walk in your neighborhood also gives you the chance to find local businesses that you might never have patronized before. You\u2019d be surprised what you may stumble upon by switching up your routine and going just a block or two further than you normally would. You might find a cute coffee shop or bakery or even a restaurant you can check out when dine-in eating becomes available again. Supporting these local spots can also help to keep your community thriving<\/a> during these difficult times.<\/p>\n

\n3. Learn the Lay of the Land<\/strong>
\nHow well do you know the layout of your neighborhood? Sometimes we hop right into the car or walk straight to the closest subway and don\u2019t take the time to explore where we live. Try walking down a street you\u2019ve never explored before, or setting out in the opposite direction. You might find something new\u2014 like a community garden<\/a> or a park\u2014 you never realized existed. Neighborhood walks can also help us get a better sense of direction. Turn off your GPS and just wander. Soon, you\u2019ll know your neighborhood like the back of your hand.<\/p>\n

\n4. It\u2019s Healthy!<\/strong>
\nSheltering in place is important for our health as we try to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus. But exercise and fresh air, as well as soaking in some sunlight, are also vitally important to both physical and mental health<\/a>. (Several recent major studies have indicated that severe Vitamin D deficiency may be correlated with Covid-19 mortality rates.) Going on a walk through your own neighborhood gives you the opportunity to get a daily cardio workout in. Try challenging yourself to go farther by adding another block on each day. Just don\u2019t forget sunscreen and a face mask!<\/p>\n

\n5. Take in Some Local Nature<\/strong>
\nCommuning with nature is a vital part of the human experience. Take the time during your daily walk to get to know the flora and fauna of your neighborhood. Bring binoculars and do a little bird-watching. Take pictures of the different butterflies and look them up later when you get home; collect local leaves and flowers for a scrapbook. Bring a plastic bag along and pick up trash as you go; this way, you can keep your neighborhood’s ecosystem nice and healthy while boosting your own health, too.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
