Exercise snacks are such a fun concept. I first heard of them through Bluezones, and thought I had died and went to move-your-body heaven! haha

Think about when you eat a snack, it's usually a smaller portion. So exercise snacks are the same concept. They're exercises (or moving your body) for a short duration, like 1 - 5 minutes.

This is great on a couple levels.

A recent study showed that 15 minutes of exercise increases your short chain fatty acids (SCFA) which is good for your gut microbiome, which reduces inflammation and could help treat arthritis, cancer and heart disease. And those 15 minutes of exercise don't have to be done all at once in order to have these positive side effects.

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that we get in at least 150 minutes per week of exercise. That can be difficult some days, but I have a solution for you: exercise snacks!

Most people have smartphones, smart watches, or an Oura ring. And they all have options to notify you to get up and move your body every hour.

Exercise snacks provides you exercises you can do each time you're alerted to get up and move!
