Executive Medical Summary

Simple and effective ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine without spending hours at the gym.

Finding time for structured workouts can feel impossible when juggling work, family, and daily commitments. However, incorporating “exercise snacks” and staying mindful of non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) keeps your metabolism humming.

1. Take 10-Minute Walking Breaks

Three 10-minute brisk walks throughout the day provide the same cardiovascular benefits as a continuous 30-minute session.

2. Desk Mobility & Bodyweight Sets

Performing 15 squats or 10 desk pushups every 90 minutes boosts blood flow and alertness without breaking a sweat.
