Did you know the movement guidelines for adults were updated recently?
The headline change is this:
movement, sitting less and sleep are now looked at together, as one connected picture rather than three separate things.
What you do outside your workout matters too getting up regularly, moving throughout the day and giving your body time to rest all add up.
For a mum whose day rarely goes to plan, it's a great way to think about it, because it means the ten-minute walk, the floor play with your toddler and a decent night's sleep all count toward the same goal.
We're talking about this all week, starting with what the new adult guidelines actually say, and then what changes (and what doesn't) when you're pregnant.
Save this and come back for the rest.
Can you relate?
Does the idea of your whole day counting toward your movement feel more doable than a workout you can never quite fit in?
