How to move more

Movement and exercise are separate ideas. There are three different useful definitions when it comes to moving more.

  1. Movement is the broadest category. It is any time you change the load on your body parts. 
  2. Physical activity is within the broader frame of movement. It is any time you move your body to get something done, whether that’s exercise or chores around the house, etc.
  3. Exercise is a sub-category of physical activity. It usually has a predetermined duration and mode. “I’m going to take a walk for 20 minutes.”

From a public health standpoint, we need to do physical activity.

These caps are called telomeres. Telomeres are similar to the plastic cap on you...
