Are you a snacker?
 
Food snacks especially protein ones can help stabilize your blood sugar and boost your energy.
 
It applies to workouts also.
 
Exercise Snacks are 1-2 minute bursts of activity that you repeat several times throughout the day instead of one longer workout. 
 
They can increase your metabolic health, endurance, and even help your muscles use protein to repair and build strength depending on the exercise you perform.
 
You can pick any activity that’ll boost your heart rate and do it for 1-2 minutes several times a day.
 
Exercise Snacks Examples:
  • 3 flights of stairs
  • chair squats
  • brisk walk
  • dance break for 1 song
  • stationary bike at hard pace
  • jump rope or jumping jacks
 
IT ALL ADDS UP! 

Exercise snacks or movement breaks throughout the day will boost your energy, metabolism, and stamina.
 
They’ll also help with reducing cognitive fatigue (brain fog) and completing stress cycles.
 
The key is to do them consistently throughout the day and overtime so you get the full benefits.
 

PRO TIP: Sitting is so hard on your body that you still need to break up your sitting time with exercise snacks even if you're going to get in a good workout that day.

Do some exercise snacks for 2 minutes for every 20-30 minutes of sitting.
 
It can be as simple as standing up and doing a round of squats.
 
Listen to your body.

It’ll tell you whether it needs food, hydration, rest, or movement breaks (Mini Moves) to feel more energy, ease, and flow each day.
