Exercise snacks

Have you ever heard of “exercise snacks”?

Exercise doesn’t always mean an hour at the gym.

A recent meta-analysis of 11 randomized clinical trials found moderate-certainty evidence that exercise snacks improve cardiorespiratory fitness in physically inactive adults.

Think of them as small doses of movement throughout your day:

🚶 5–10 min brisk walk

🪜 Take the stairs

🏃 Short bursts of activity between tasks

🧍 Break up prolonged sitting

You can even do them at work when you take a break.

Small bouts can add up.

You don’t need a perfect workout.

Just find more opportunities to move.

Try it this week.
