Episode Description from the Publisher

Ever started work at 9am, looked up what feels like five minutes later and somehow it’s 1:37pm, you haven’t moved, your water is untouched and you desperately need a wee? 😂In this episode, I’m talking about the bitesize movement we do outside of our workouts — and why it matters.Going to a dance fitness class, lifting weights or heading out for a run is brilliant, but our bodies also benefit from moving regularly throughout the rest of the day. Especially when work, commuting and Netflix have made us extraordinarily good at sitting still for hours at a time.We’ll chat about simple ways to break up long periods of sitting, why everyday movement doesn’t need to involve gym kit or a formal workout, and how getting up regularly can help us feel less stiff, more mobile and generally a bit more human by the end of the working day.And this week’s Flex This Week Challenge makes it ridiculously simple: choose a song and use it as your movement break. Walk around, clean something, make a cuppa, do some mobility or dance around your kitchen while the bloke laying your patio wonders what the hell is happening. 😂A few minutes might not feel significant on its own, but all those little bits of movement add up.Because your workout matters — but so does what you do between your workouts.If you'd like more workouts, challenges and realistic ways to fit fitness around an actual life, you can find Flex by AMFhere:Flex by AMFReal-life fitness for real life. 💜
