Life can be hectic, and finding time for a full workout might feel impossible. That’s why I love movement snacksβ€”short bursts of activity that fit seamlessly into your day. These bite-sized sessions make it easier to stay consistent, even on the busiest days.

What Are Movement Snacks?

Movement snacks are small, intentional activities that take just a few minutes. Think squats while the kettle boils or push-ups against the kitchen counter.


Benefits of Bite-Sized Training

  • Consistency: It’s easier to stick to small, manageable habits.

  • Energy Boost: A quick movement break can re-energise you.

  • Long-Term Progress: Small actions build the foundation for bigger fitness goals.


To stay on track and monitor your progress, I've created a Fitness Habit Tracker specifically for busy women like you.

This tracker will help you:

  • Build awareness around your habits

  • Identify patterns

  • Make adjustments as needed

It's available for download on my website lisadawnbeckwith.com/tracker

Use this tool to stay accountable, celebrate your wins, and prioritise your health and well-being.


How to Incorporate Movement Snacks

  1. Start Simple: Begin with one movement, like squats.

  2. Use Everyday Moments: Fit in exercises during tasks like waiting for the kettle to boil.

  3. Build a Routine: Gradually add more movements as these small habits become second nature.


Examples of Movement Snacks

  • Squats: While waiting for your coffee.

  • Push-Ups: On the countertop while cooking.

  • Dance party: Between Zoom calls.
