A stretching exercise you can do while walking and looking. Excerwalking. You’re turning your noggin a little bit to the left and right, every step. You can go 90 degrees each way right? Use headswiveling to snap-survey your surroundings, find paths ahead, and note potential stumbling blockage. Cheat a little with your back and see how close you can get to 180. Owls can do about 270.

When you’re stopped for a moment is also a great time to take your neck for a mini-spin. The wise owl, the 3-point baller, the giant robot, all turn their heads to get a better look; that’s advanced walking technique #6. Look all ways while crossing a broad way. You might avoid getting clipped by a scooter.
