Movement is one of the most important aspects of aging well and staying fit. And the more active we are, the more energy we seem to have.
This week on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m joined by Ben Greenfield who talks about incorporating “movement snack breaks” into your daily routine and why even small functional activities throughout the day can be more beneficial than those soul-crushing early morning workouts.
Ben Greenfield is a human performance consultant, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author of 13 books, including the wildly popular titles, Beyond Training and Boundless. A former collegiate tennis, water polo, and volleyball player, as well as a bodybuilder, 13-time Ironman triathlete, and professional obstacle course racer, Ben has been voted by the NSCA as America’s top Personal Trainer and by Greatist as one of the top 100 Most Influential People In Health and Fitness.

I like the idea of just playing around with exercise movements as you feel like it during the day. It adds activity and takes the pressure off have a major workout to do everyday.
