SUMMARY:Squat & Stride: Office Activity Challenge
DESCRIPTION:\nBreak up long periods of sitting with quick “activity snacks” to boost your energy, get your blood flowing, and help your muscles use nutrients more effectively. Moving often can also help keep your blood sugar levels in check!\n\n\n\nChallenge Details:\n\n\n\n\nDuration: 1 Week\n\n\n\nTask: Every hour, on the hour, perform 15 bodyweight squats (to a chair if needed) or take a short walk around the office.\n\n\n\nWhy: Short bursts of movement can increase dietary amino acid utilization for muscle protein synthesis and improve blood sugar control. In other words, this means that quick activities like squats or short walks help your muscles better absorb nutrients from food, making them stronger, while also keeping your blood sugar more stable throughout the day.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Participate:\n\n\n\n\nSet a reminder every hour during work hours.\n\n\n\nChoose either:\n\n15 Bodyweight Squats\n\n\n\n1-2 Minute Walk\n\n\n\n\n\nAmber Romero will be coming around to different parts of the AZ office’s throughout the week to lead the quick “activity snack”.
