Let's get moving! Some tips on how to get more movement during the day to help make a difference.

Let’s Get Moving! Easy Ways to Add More Movement Into Your Day

You don’t need a full workout to start feeling better and making progress. Just moving more throughout the day can boost your energy, improve your mood, and help you reach your fitness goals faster.

Here are some simple ways to sneak in more movement—even on your busiest days.

Take a Walk After Meals

A short 5 to 10 minute walk after eating helps digestion, supports blood sugar levels, and adds steps to your day. It doesn’t have to be fast—just move.

Set a Timer to Stand Up

If you sit a lot for work, try standing or walking for a few minutes every hour. Set a timer or use a standing desk if you can. Even a few stretches or a quick lap around the house counts.

Park Farther Away

Instead of looking for the closest parking spot, pick one that’s a little farther out. These extra steps add up fast and can help you easily hit your step goal.

Do a Mini Stretch or Bodyweight Break

Try 10 squats, a few push-ups, or a stretch session while waiting for your coffee to brew or during TV commercials. Movement doesn’t have to mean changing clothes or hitting the gym.

Take the Stairs

Skip the elevator and take the stairs when possible. It gets your heart rate up, strengthens your legs, and adds quick bursts of cardio throughout your day.

Walk and Talk

Need to make a phone call or listen to a podcast? Take it on the move. Walk around your house, office, or outside while chatting or listening.

Get Outside When You Can

Fresh air and natural movement are good for both your body and your mind. Whether it's walking the dog, doing yard work, or just strolling around the block—get outside and move.

Small Moves Make a Big Difference

You don’t need to overhaul your schedule—just find little ways to move more. It all adds up and makes a big impact on how you feel, how you sleep, and how your body performs.
