Can exercise snacking help me beat a busy schedule to stay fit?

About this episode

It's back to school! DYRK is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport! It's well known that we should all be doing half an hour of moderate physical activity every day. But sometimes our busy lifestyles make it difficult finding thirty consecutive minutes to do exercise. Sure, you could get up extra early in the morning, cut your lunch break short, or dig deep to find the needed energy and motivation for a post-work gym session. But a bitesized method called exercise snacking may be a simpler option when it comes to hitting your daily quota. Now obviously we're not talking about sweet or savoury snacks here; rather separating exercise into smaller chunks which are spread throughout the day. Is that really comparable to doing a full workout in one go? How can I adapt my day to fit in exercise snacking? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠ ⁠Why were the queen’s bees told of her death?⁠ ⁠Do I have poor blood circulation?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.
