Your body's hungry--for this kind of snack
You ever sit down to watch some tv...
and the next thing you know, it’s been three hours and your back feels like it’s fused to the chair?
It happens fast. And the worst part?
You didn’t even notice your body stiffening up until it was too late.
That’s why your body needs movement snacks.
Little 30- to 90-second bursts of motion scattered throughout the day.
Not long workouts.
Not sweat sessions.
Just simple, intentional moves that remind your joints, muscles, and nervous system that everything still works.
A few squats by your desk.
A deep squat hold while your coffee brews.
Hanging from a doorway pull up bar in between tasks.
Ankle circles while you’re on the phone.
These mini-sessions help keep your circulation flowing, your fascia from sticking, and your body from slipping into that “rusted shut” feeling that builds up over time.
You don’t need to overhaul your schedule—you just need to interrupt your stillness.
A few small movements, repeated often, will do more for your longevity than the occasional intense workout ever could.
Need ideas for what to do?
My YouTube channel has plenty of these types of exercise options you can sprinkle into your day.
Start snacking.
Your body’s been starving.
