And then

You know, I like I was, you know, grilling earlier this week.

And so I was like, you know, I'm walking around, but I could also make this a dance break.

I got, you know, so I was like, we could do.

And I don't know if it was five minutes of dancing, but I was like, this could be dancing.

Now they were like, stop dancing.

We don't want to see that.

But I was like, what?

mom yes but there were days where i did like i think saturday i don't think i did any of it i think it was a lot going on and then you know and then okay okay so wait i have a question first of all tell me about you're talking about what you did but tell me about how you felt i

think I felt so I think the first day I was like I don't really feel anything second day I think by the second day I started feeling like I think I felt better with the movement it made me feel better and I think that's why I was seeking it out so okay so here's what I hear you saying

Well, so you gave me advice for how to approach this and I'm going to keep trying at it.

But how else can movement breaks maybe look different for people in different situations, like people of different ages, different work setups or people like may have mobility issues?

Well, thank you for this and bringing this to me.

And, you know, it seems like it's making a real difference.

I'll let you know if I see you around the office or something, how it's going.
