10 tips for walking in the age of social distancing. Yes, that's a thing.

Nearly every state stay-at-home order permits walking and exercising outside and that’s a good thing.

Getting outside and moving around is more essential than ever, and like many of you, we’re walking more than ever.

Dr. Moss smiled.
