If you know me, you know I love movement snacks—a small amount of movement done on its own, not as part of a larger exercise routine or other activity. Last January I went all in and made a video short/reel of a new movement snack idea each day. This year I plan to spotlight a special movement snack each month. Let’s start with “keep a pair of pretty dumbbells on your kitchen counter.” Pick them up every time you walk in the room and do a few bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, or overhead presses. Learn some new exercises to add to that list. Then, put the dumbbells down and do whatever you came into the kitchen to do. Alternately, you can put your walking shoes by the door. Once or twice a day, put them on and go for a 10-min walk. I want you to pick one of these ideas, or something along the same line (put a thing where you can see it and use it when you walk by). Practice it all month. Sure, every day is great, but most days is better than no days. Give a try! Share with me how it goes and read others’ experiences. I will have posts on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Look for the Movement Snack Spotlight article on my website where I will compile all the monthly snacks. Let’s go!
