A movement break can lower these risks by improving circulation, reducing stiffness and relieving strain. A study in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health found that breaking up sitting time significantly improves comfort and energy levels. Boosted Mental Health: Regular movement can reduce stress, anxiety, improve focus and enhance mood. According to the American Psychological Association, even shorty burst of physical activity can increase dopamine and serotonin levels, improving mental clarity and resilience. Enhanced Productivity: Movement recharges focus and creativity, with research showing a 20% increase in problem solving ability after short activity breaks. https://www.thegoodmove.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2025-01-27 https://www.thegoodmove.com.au/about daily 0.75 2025-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274c1aca87e01431c2491e4/314025c3-2a91-40b9-9f5a-b40d46313cd0/0E4A6890.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274c1aca87e01431c2491e4/151bcc32-9d17-471b-a77e-131c77bb91f3/0E4A6446.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274c1aca87e01431c2491e4/c2b6f286-a77c-4b31-8745-0af9d6038bc3/0E4A6781.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274c1aca87e01431c2491e4/a29aca56-5f9e-4377-926b-0dd50eb6dca6/0E4A6308-Edit.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6274c1aca87e01431c2491e4/fd7a5453-f58c-48f0-9c96-89b71d44eb57/MBody+Pilates+-44.jpg About - The good move series Achievable for all levels of fitness in your home, office, in fact, anywhere.
