Welcome to Day 23!
Good Morning!
We will be talking about the importance of movement.
  • Movement is essential to health and wellness.
  • Lack of movement increases the risk of almost every disease and mortality.
  • Studies show that lack of movement may be as detrimental as smoking.
  • Studies also show we cannot undo lack of movement all day with a burst of exercise and good diet.  

So movement is essential throughout the day - as well as exercise. 

Try to move every hour during the work day.  Consider exercises every hour (for even 1 minute).
This will help blood flow to the brain and productivity!  

Consider standing to work for periods of the day, a treadmill desk or small peddler under the desk.
  • Try to exercise (get the heart rate up and work the muscles) for 150-300 minutes a week.
  • May need to work up to this if you have not been exercising or have medical conditions.  
  • The goal is to be able to do the same amount of exercise every day without paying for it.
