Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s clarify what walking calls are. It’s exactly what it sounds like: instead of sitting at your desk or in a stuffy conference room, you take your calls on the go—yes, while walking! This practice isn’t just about getting your steps in; it’s about transforming the way you engage with your work and your health.
The Challenge: Trade Your Chair for Steps
Here’s the deal: I challenge you to swap at least one of your sedentary work calls with a walking call this week. It might feel a little weird at first, but trust me, it’s worth it!

Why Walking Calls Work
1. Boosts Creativity
When you’re on your feet, your mind tends to wander in the best way possible. Studies have shown that moving your body can unlock creative thoughts you might not access while sitting still.
- Nature’s Inspiration: If you can, opt for a scenic route. Nature has a way of sparking inspiration!
- Allow Brain Flow: The less structured environment of a walk can foster those “aha!” moments.
2. Enhances Focus
It’s easy to get distracted when you’re sitting at a desk full of potential distractions. Walking calls require a bit of focus—especially if you’re navigating your surroundings!
- Less Multitasking: You can’t scroll through emails and talk at the same time (well, usually). This means more focused conversations.
- Mindfulness: Walking helps ground you, making it easier to stay present and engaged in the conversation.
3. Elevates Your Mood
There’s something about fresh air and movement that naturally lifts our spirits. Our body releases endorphins, which can turn a mundane work call into a more enjoyable experience.
- Get Those Steps In: Aim for 10-15 minutes of walking. It’s a win-win for productivity and fitness!
- Change of Scenery: A new environment can reduce stress and enhance your overall mood.
4. Improves Physical Health
While I’m not making any medical claims here, we all know that movement is essential to our well-being. Incorporating walking into your workday can help you meet your fitness goals without added pressure.
- Easier to Stay Active: Walking calls can easily fit into your day, making it easier to achieve your movement goals.
- Combat Sedentary Lifestyle: Ditching the chair even for a few calls can help counteract the hours spent sitting.
How to Make Walking Calls Work for You
1. Plan Ahead
- Schedule Wisely: Look at your calendar for calls that require less screen time or intense note-taking.
- Choose Your Route: Decide beforehand where you’ll walk. Familiar paths can ease your mind and minimize distractions.
2. Set the Right Environment
- Find a Safe Space: Choose a route that’s safe and free from excessive noise or interruptions.
- Stay Connected: Use a reliable phone or headset so you can hear and be heard clearly.
3. Create a Walking Call Routine
- Integrate It Gradually: Start with one call a week and increase as you find your rhythm.
- Set Reminders: Use your calendar or phone reminders to keep this habit top of mind.
Overcoming Common Obstacles
1. Fear of Background Noise
- Choose Wisely: Pick quieter times to call, like early mornings or less busy parts of the day.
- Use Headphones: Invest in a good quality headset to minimize background noise for both you and the person on the line.
2. Worry About Signal Issues
- Test Your Routes: Know where you’ll get good reception. Urban areas usually have better connectivity.
- Have a Backup Plan: If the call drops, have a backup plan in place—like a nearby café or a public area with Wi-Fi.
