Daily Movement

I am a huge proponent of getting my steps in. Every chance I get, I like to move my body and going on walks is one of my favorite ways of doing that. There are benefits to moving more throughout the day such as

increased metabolism
regulating blood sugar
increasing calories burned
improved mood
mental clarity

Walking for at least 10 minutes before and after a meal is one of my daily habits I am trying to maintain. To reap the benefits above. If you are making excuses for not moving your body everyday, there are always solutions.

"The weather sucks" - Walk around your house, do squats or heel raises in the living room, or even just stretch while you listen to music.

"I don't have enough time" - Check your screen time. You can doom scroll while you walk, and you can satisfy your dopamine needs while burning some calories!

"I am at work all day" - Take an extra loop around the office while you are walking to the bathroom, or going on your lunch break. An extra 3-5 minutes here and there add up your steps!

Daily movement isn't an option for me. Being able to move my body is a gift in of itself, and I really don't want to take it for granted. I really encourage those who need motivation to keep moving to think of this as well and hope to inspire daily movement for you!
