Create your own commute<\/p>\n

During the time you\u2019d otherwise spend commuting, Bantham suggests taking a walk. She runs her own consulting business from home and likes to go for a stroll and call a friend before work. Similarly, Lindsey Bomgren, a personal trainer based in Minneapolis, gets in her steps each morning while using her phone\u2019s talk-to-text app to draft emails and write herself notes. \u201cI can start my day out walking, wrapping my head around my to-do list,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
