Our bodies are built to move. There are many benefits to being active throughout the day. Moving your body for just 3–5 minutes every 30–60 minutes improves nearly every system in the body.
Studies show that moving for a few minutes every 30 minutes or so
- Improves digestion,
- Increases energy levels,
- Enhances mood,
- Promotes better blood flow,
- Improves posture, and
- Increases focus.
Get your body moving by taking a stroll away from your work area. Stretch muscles that feel tense. Shake your arms and legs or do simple exercises in your workspace. For example, you could do wall push-ups, repeatedly standing from your chair.
