Movement Snacks

Movement snacks are short, quick bursts of physical activity designed to break up sedentary behavior throughout the day. They're like bite-sized portions of exercise that can be easily integrated into daily routines. These brief periods of movement offer numerous benefits for both physical and mental health, making them valuable additions to anyone's lifestyle.

Benefits of Movement Snacks 

Our sedentary lifestyles do not do us any favors when it comes to maintaining and/or improving health metrics. Many clients spend long hours sitting at desks or in front of screens, and movement snacks offer a way to combat the negative effects of prolonged sitting—and increase the number of calories burnt outside of any exercise time.  

By incorporating short bursts of activity into the day, individuals can improve circulation, boost energy levels, enhance focus and reduce the risk of various health issues associated with prolonged sitting, such as obesity, heart disease and musculoskeletal problems. Additionally, movement snacks can help improve cognition and mood, increase aerobic capacity, muscle strength, and energy metabolism and reduce stress by releasing endorphins and promoting relaxation. 

As a health and exercise professional, I am here to encourage YOU to integrate movement snacks into your daily routine. I provide accountability and support by checking in regularly to track your progress.
