HABITS OF HEALTHY MOTION | Habits of Health

Learn how Habits of Healthy Motion fit into the comprehensive approach of the Habits of Health.

While your movement plan may include formal exercise, Habits of Healthy Motion are more often made up of fun activities and clever strategies that make moving your body easy and fun—including some you’ve probably never even considered. We pioneered the importance and ability to create activity throughout the day with our leisure and work, in addition to scheduled exercise routines. Motion throughout your day is a necessity, and that also means standing more and sitting less.
