You don’t need 10,000 steps to stay healthy.

Research from the University of Texas shows that small, consistent movement (like doing 10 squats every 45 minutes) can actually outperform a daily walking routine when it comes to blood sugar, heart health, and strength.

The takeaway? It’s not just about how much you move -- it’s about how often.

If you sit a lot, start breaking up your day with quick bursts of movement. Squats, stretches, push ups, anything to get your body active.

Can’t hit your step goal today? You’re not behind. You might just need to adjust your strategy.

Did you know that today is World Health Day?

Observed every year on April 7, World Health Day is meant to highlight the importance of physical, mental, and social well-being. It's also the day the World Health Organization was founded.

Use today as a reminder to reintegrate healthy habits. Start small if you have to -- a short walk, water instead of soda, or take a break when your body is asking for it.

The real results come from staying consistent.

And if you need some physical recovery or a mental reset as part of that, Proactive has you covered!

Heard of goat yoga? Well then try our newest service at Proactive — raccoon massage! An experience so unique, you’ll find yourself thinking “it’s almost like this isn’t real.”

During your 60 minute raccoon massage you’ll be joined by a family of three raccoons. They’ll run around, paw at your face, and generally make the experience a lot worse. But look how cute they are!

Please note — the raccoons WILL steal any shiny objects left in your purse. Rabies shots recommended in advance.

Schedule your raccoon massage this at ProactiveRVA.com!
