The Power of Movement Snacks
Lets face it: most of us are spending way too much time sitting and juggling a million things
throughout the day. We understand it can be challenging to prioritize exercise. But here’s the
good news- you don’t always need a full workout to move better and feel better!
What are movement snacks?
Movement snacks are short bursts of activity sprinkled throughout the day. Think of them as
bite-sized motions that keep your body and mind engaged and energized. They are accessible
to everyone as all you need is a few minutes and a willingness to move.
The benefits of movement snacks:
Energy boost: Just a few minutes of physical activity can release endorphins that assist with
motivating and exciting your body and mind.
Enhances flexibility and posture: Movement improves blood circulation and lubricates your
joints. This can improve flexibility, release muscle tension, and promote better posture.
Stress Relief: When you are feeling overwhelmed, movement snacks help create happy
hormones.
Improves focus and concentration: Increased activity brings blood flow to your brain, supplying it
with fresh oxygen and nutrients. This surge of brainpower boosts creativity, enhances cognitive
function, and empowers you to tackle tasks throughout your busy day.
Reinforces Rehab Progress: Incorporating prescribed exercises into your day can boost
recovery- even in small doses!
Even in the midst of a busy day, small, consistent movement snacks can have a big impact on
how you feel and function. So, give yourself permission to pause, breathe, and move to nourish
your body and soul.
