Sitting is the new smoking. Exercising 1 hour per day and then be still for the other 23 hours is not healthy. Building in movement during the day should not take any significant extra time (that you don’t have!), instead, it’s about developing habits to move while you are doing other things.
It’s important to move different parts of the body, in different ways. Just swapping sitting all day to standing still all day (at a standing desk for example), will not solve the problem unfortunately.
Instead, this is a time to be playful, to be a bit silly, to take the opportunity to move around when it presents itself.
What you can do in your day to day life is -
👉Walking around when on the phone.
👉Hanging in tree branches when I pass them.
👉Carry my washing with straight arms.
👉Take stairs two steps at the time.
👉Stand on one leg while brushing my teeth.
👉Have impromptu dance parties in the kitchen.
Look around you. Is there anyway you could get more movement in while doing the same thing you are already doing?
