Day 4 of challenge: Your daily reminder to make movement a part of your life
Hello Day 4! This is your daily reminder to make movement a part of your lifestyle.
There is a saying that says sitting is the new smoking, while this saying is debatable, it does point out the importance of moving your body. Movement goes beyond your 30-60min workouts, but don’t worry getting more movement can be as simple as making small changes to your habits and environment, whether it’s taking the stairs if you can, going for a walk around your neighbourhood, parking a few spaces further from the entrance when you go to the store, or dancing to your favourite song!
Movement can be a feel-good experience when you discover the kind that makes your body happy. May you find movement that brings you health, happiness, and joy!
This was a wakeup call for me. My goal was to get some exercise every day whether a 30 min / 1 hour class or a long walk in the park – feeling virtuous if I did. This tells me I need to pay more attention to my activity the rest of the day. We do seem to spend evenings in front of the TV. This night after our TV fix, I got on my feet to dance to the oldies by myself. It’s a start. Of course household chores on my feet count too.
