Don’t have enough time in your day to get it all done and go to the gym? Then double your efficiency by walking to do your errands during lunch!
- From Stephens College, Columbia College or the University of Missouri it is just a short walk to downtown Columbia with the post office, banks, shops, and city offices all right there.
- Most business in Columbia are within walking distance to at least one grocery store. You can pick up those few items you need for dinner and maybe even stop at the dry cleaners while you’re at it.
- Need to buy a gift? Go for a lunchtime stroll and do your shopping on the way back.
Tips on how to make it work for you:
- Leave a pair of tennis shoes and socks at work so you are always ready.
- Keep an extra jacket, hat and gloves at work so the weather is no excuse.
- Enlist a buddy to do it with you. You’ll keep each other motivated.
- Pack a lunch you can carry along. Apples, granola bars, and PB&J make a moving picnic as you stroll to your destination.
Try it! You’ll have more time in your day because your errands and exercise are already done and you will feel rejuvenated for an afternoon of work.
