Installing the habit of practicing daily movement is an important aspect of living and active and independent life. Tasks like grocery shopping and carrying groceries, gardening, cleaning the house, walking etc all carry big benefits when done regularly. Luckily some of these rarely feel like "working out" which can contribute to better health and happiness.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). What daily movement is and what types of activities incorporate "daily movement".

2). How daily movement differs from a regular exercise or workout schedule.

3). We address the 10,000 steps issue and share thoughts on whether you really need to get that amount of steps in every day.

4). The appropriate amount of rest you should be getting when staying active with both exercise and daily movement.

5). Some tips on how you can incorporate daily movement during your day if you work at a job that requires you to stay seated like driving or office work.

We hope the information in this episode is helpful to you if you are feeling slow and sluggish or are dealing with chronic pain that makes you feel like you have less movement. You can still reap benefits from daily movement even if it is just a little each day which can add up to a lot in the end.
