Whether you lack motivation or time for the gym, you don’t have to worry. There are plenty of other ways to stay in great shape that you’re probably not thinking of. These activities involve little effort and can seamlessly morph into your everyday life without you blinking an eye. Sounds pretty promising, right?

As a trainer and kinesiologist, the number one priority for my clients is fostering pain-free living. While many factors can help to reduce injuries, soreness, and other physical complications, one of the most effective and accessible strategies is to implement tiny windows of movement into everyday life. Not only does this lead to healthier joints and muscles, but your overall focus and energy levels are sure to surge too.

To help inspire and push you to feel as productive and robust as possible, let’s cover the top 5 atomic habits (James Clear reference) within the exercise realm that can make all the difference. Here’s to a happier, healthier you!

You don’t need to step into the gym to make strides in your wellness. Why not achieve sustainable, rewarding results with these habits instead?
