And the other thing that's really good with the exercise snacks is to time them around meals.
And there's also been some evidence on this published looking at mostly people with metabolic dysfunction, like type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and how even doing something timed around a meal, and it doesn't have to be long.
It can be a short, again, you're doing some body weight squats or burpees or jumping jacks, whatever.
it improves glucose regulation, right?
