Have you heard of Habit Stacking? 🤔

It`s a great way to add movement into your day by pairing small exercises with habits you already do – helping you be active and achieve 30-20-2, even when life is busy!

You can incorporate simple exercises into your daily task, such as:
– Squats while the kettle boils – turn waiting time into movement time.
– Calf raises while brushing your teeth – two minutes of strength, twice a day.
– Lunges down the hallway – every trip becomes a mini workout.
– Marching on the spot while folding laundry- complete some of your vigorous or moderate exercise every trip.
– Glute squeezes while sitting at your desk – perfect for busy workdays.

Remember, all movement counts 🙌

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.
