Sitting is the new smoking! But we can't avoid it entirely, especially during school. The solution? Regular movement breaks! Every 30 minutes, students should stand, stretch, and move. Simple desk exercises make a huge difference: shoulder rolls, neck stretches, and seated spinal twists. Teachers, consider incorporating "brain breaks" that get kids moving - it improves focus AND spine health. At home, set movement timers during homework sessions. Walking to the water fountain, doing jumping jacks, or simple stretches reset both body and mind. Movement is medicine, and the prescription is simple: move more, sit less, feel better! Ready to make movement a family habit? We have ideas that actually work with busy schedules.
