146. Rebranding Exercise: Why “Exercise Snacks” Might Be the Secret to Consistency


Listen Later

We get it. You're trying to fit everything into your mornings: a workout, meditation, a full breakfast, maybe even the Today Show. But who has time for all of that before the workday starts? In this episode, we’re breaking down the concept of exercise snacking—short bursts of movement you can sprinkle into your day to support your physical and mental health without needing a full gym session.

From four-minute Tabata sets to dance parties while making breakfast, we explore creative ways to rethink what counts as “exercise” (spoiler: a lot more than you think). Plus, we share the companion ideas of nutrition nudges and mindful minis—because small steps do add up.

In this episode:

  • What exercise snacking actually is (and why the name needs a rebrand)
  • How short workouts can offer major benefits
  • Real-life examples of “snacks” that count—from stair sprints to pool piggybacks
  • Why mindful moments and small nutrition upgrades make a difference too
  • How to habit stack these into your day without adding more to your to-do list
