Fall evenings get dark early, but the after-dinner walk still works.
Why bother
A short walk after eating can help with digestion and blood sugar, gets everyone off screens, and often brings out the best conversations with kids.
Make it doable
- 10–15 minutes, around the block
- Flashlights or headlamps, kids love them
- Reflective vests or clip-on lights for visibility
- The dog comes too
Keep it low-pressure
No step goals. No destination. The habit counts more than the distance.
