1–3 Minute Exercise Snacks
Take brief, vigorous movement bouts throughout the day, either by turning everyday moments into activity or by deliberately inserting them into a sedentary routine. Each bout is typically at least 1 minute and up to about 3 minutes. These short bursts help raise total daily physical activity without needing a full workout, making it easier to break up long periods of sitting.

“There's lots of data now showing that people that are doing these like short bursts at least a minute long, but up to three minutes, they're moving faster with intent. So, for example, individuals that do on the high end, so they're doing, you know, three minutes of this short burst of an unstructured type of exercise snack, and they do it three times a day.”
