Movement Snacks

Bite-sized portions of exercise 

Movement snacks-short bouts of physical activity to break up sedentary behavior-are an effective way to drive important health and wellness benefits.

Many people spend long hours sitting at desks or in front of screens, and movement snacks offer a way to combat the negative effects of prolonged sitting—and increase the number of calories burnt outside of any exercise time.  

The benefits of movement snacks include everything from reducing the risk of obesity and heart disease to better managing stress and improving mood and cognition.
