By now, most people know that getting in daily steps is essential for overall health. In particular, taking a short walk after a meal is a well-known hack for controlling blood sugar levels. But let’s be honest—just because something is good for you doesn’t mean people will do it!

There’s always an excuse:
❌ “I don’t have time.”
❌ “The weather is terrible.”
❌ “My shoes are in the wash.”
❌ Blah, blah, blah…

A Simple, No-Excuses Solution

If a post-meal walk isn’t in the cards, here’s the next best thing: air squats.

Right after you eat, do 20 bodyweight squats. It’s fast, requires zero equipment, and works in any setting—rain or shine, at home or in the office, with or without shoes.

As Josh Clemente explains in this video, activating large muscles—like your legs—helps absorb blood sugar like a sponge, stabilizing glucose levels more effectively.

Exercise Snacks for a Healthier Life

If you find yourself sitting for long periods, a quick movement break can work wonders. Get up for a short stroll or, if that’s not an option, try chair squats right at your desk.

The same principle applies after eating. Whether it’s a walk or a few squats, these small actions add up to BIG health benefits over time. The key is consistency—turn it into a habit, and you’ll be reaping the rewards for years to come.

No more excuses. Time to move!
