How often we hear this phrase. And we even understand that it sounds logical. And at the same time, during consultations with my clients, I often hear in response: “I don’t have time for sports” or “I don’t like going for walks,” and so on.

Here, my task as a healthy lifestyle mentor is to offer my client a choice of alternative ways of that very movement. I believe that activity, movement should always be personalized and approached with positivity!

If you like dancing, great, dance every day! Dance is movement, plasticity, concentration of attention, liberation of the body and mind, it is a powerful tool for recovery of both physical and mental, psychological health.

And if you only enjoy walking, then walk for your health! Walk in the forest, on a treadmill, in the office, at home, or outside. To add muscle load during walking, walk with additional weight.

For example, every 45 minutes of sedentary work, take a 5–10-minute break for a walk, simply move actively, do some squats, or walk a couple of floors via stairs. Such activity is more effective for overall health than pushing yourself to exhaustion in workouts 1–2 times a week, as the latter causes a large release of hormones, which does not bring benefits.
