How to get more movement into your screen-filled life. No gym required.
First, make a movement plan
What amount of movement can you build into your day? Make sure it's a reasonable goal—but try to push yourself.
Five minutes every 30 minutes is BEST, but if you can't swing that aim for every hour or two hours.
Next, recruit someone to join you
Accountability buddies make movement breaks feel less daunting. Think: co-workers taking quick walks or friends encouraging each other via text!
Long distance bestie, husband, kids, co-worker, neighbor? Whoever! Send them this link and take the challenge together.
