Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent.

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk.

Did you know that this walk is helping you think outside the box?

You've probably heard that term before.

Thinking outside the box, I guess it's a visual for have a challenge, you have a

problem, you need a solution, and this box contains the possible answers for that solution,

and none of them are great. So let's think outside the box. Let's find a solution that is different than what's

inside the box. I think that's probably the visual for that phrase, that saying, what,

outside the box solutions. I certainly have heard that in a meeting or two.

In 2014, they did some pretty incredible research at Stanford University. I don't know how

many people were involved in this research, but they divided these people up into two basic groups

and then one of the groups they divided into subgroups so there was a group of

people who were sitting that was one group and then there were a group of people

who were walking that was the second group and then that second group of people who were walking,

they had a subgroup of those who were walking on a treadmill and those who were walking out in nature.

And these two groups of people were given a task. They were presented with, I think they were everyday objects,

I'm not entirely sure. They were presented with a list of objects, and they had a certain amount

of time to think of as many uses for each of these objects. And the answers that counted were only

answers where the use could be realistic. So for example, if one of those objects is paperclip.

Okay, you have 60 seconds to come up with as many uses for a paper clip as you can.

And, you know, it's probably okay to hold pieces of paper together to unfold and

stick in the little hole to reset an electronic device.
