We know we all need to take a break from the screen from time to time and it especially comes to life when we're working on an intense piece of work or project. Indeed some of us have timers set up on our computer or vibrating seat cushions (yes those exist!) to remind us to break. All of this is …
Workplace
Sedentary Workplaces
The notion of an intervention which not only raises employee well-being but improves performance, increases productivity and reduces costs is appealing. So why is it then that there is still so much physical inactivity in our workplaces? I propose that the science on how much physical …
Why move more? A-Z
Why move more? The answer is so large and brevity is not my strong suit so I invoked a self-limiting strategy: an A-Z; 26 short(ish) reasons why you should move more. I had many ideas for most letters, but excuse the lame ones; U is always difficult. In 2019 I will be expanding on each one of …
Glossary

Move More at Home
So we all are getting the message that we need to move more, but if you’re anything like me then seeking out an extra hour or two to dedicate to moving more is a near impossible task many days of the year. I mean lots of walking is easy some days, especially if one of my boys have forgotten their …

Move your Feet more
Our feet are our base. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, tendons & ligaments. That means over a quarter of our bones lie below our ankles. Our feet have so much potential for movement yet our cultural habits restrict so much of that movement. We walk on flat, level man …
