How to sneak movement into your day
No time for a full workout? Don’t sweat it! You can add extra movement into the things you’re already doing—every little bit counts.
Try this!
Let’s dive a little deeper…
Despite your best intentions, it’s normal if exercise sometimes falls to the bottom (or even off!) your to-do list. That doesn’t mean you can’t still be active. It’s a myth that you have to move for a certain amount of time or in a certain way for it to “count.” The truth: Some movement is always better than none, and all movement adds up, whether it’s a few extra steps in a parking lot or a few minutes of dancing in your kitchen.
So ditch the all-or-nothing mindset around activity and look for opportunities to move that work with your schedule and all the other stuff you’re doing. Making activity feel doable and less like a time-consuming chore is key to getting and staying active. Then, recognize what you did and the effort you put in, no matter how small, noting how it’s getting you closer to your goal.
