Movement Snack Break 🍎
A movement snack is exactly what it sounds like — a small, intentional dose of movement you sprinkle into your day. It’s not a full workout; it’s a way to keep your body’s “circulation, coordination, and connection” systems from clocking out between big efforts. These quick resets help reduce stiffness, boost focus, and remind your muscles and joints they have a job beyond sitting and surviving.
In today’s snack, we’re moving through:
1️⃣ Side bridge with reach and row – come up into a side bridge and hold. You can keep it static or reach the top arm away from your body, then draw the elbow back toward your waist like a row. Think shoulder blade down and in toward your spine. Hold the bridge and aim for 6–10 reps.
2️⃣ Glute bridge holds – lift up into a bridge, holding for about 8 seconds with a slow, steady lower down. Shoot for 5–10 repetitions.
3️⃣ Glute bridge with overhead reach – as you lift into your bridge, reach your arms toward the ceiling. As you slowly lower down, stretch that reach even more to bring movement through your thoracic spine. Roll your spine down one vertebra at a time.
Then, flip sides to finish those side bridges. Run through this sequence 1-3 times.
These little movement snacks don’t take long, but they keep your system tuned and your day feeling better in your body. Movement is medicine — and this is just a small, daily dose. Try this one this week and let me know how it goes
