Break up long stretches

Stand up and move for a few minutes between tasks or meetings. A walk to refill water or to talk to a colleague in person is enough.

Walk when it is practical

Taking the stairs, walking part of the commute, or taking a phone call on the move can add movement without extra time.

Attach it to something you already do

Linking a short walk to an existing routine, such as after lunch, makes it easier to remember than relying on willpower.

An everyday example

Dana sets a reminder to stand up between video calls, takes the stairs to the second floor, and walks around the block after lunch most days.

Your next step. Pick one moment in tomorrow’s workday, such as after lunch, and add a short walk to it.
