Embracing Your Fidget!

Ever wonder why you bounce your leg, drum your fingers, or click your pen incessantly? According to biomechanist Katy Bowman, these spontaneous movements are your body’s way of signaling a need for movement. Embracing the fidget can boost blood flow, regulate blood sugar, and even reduce stress and anxiety.

• Change your position (and don’t worry too much about the “right posture”)
• Schedule “exercise snacks”
• Go for a five-minute walk (every half hour to be precise)
• What about fidget toys?

Discover more about the benefits of fidgeting and how to incorporate movement into your workday in this insightful interview and article by Marielle Segarra and Margaret Cirino.
