Exercise-Snacks Day

Several short vigorous 'snacks' (~20-60 s each) scattered through the day instead of one workout. Emerging but promising evidence (Grade B). Total active time is small; consistency is the point.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
  1. 1
    Exercise-Snack Stair Bursts
    Morning: 1 x 30-60 s vigorous stair climb @ RPE 7-8
    Use any handy flight of stairs.
  2. 2
    Exercise-Snack Stair Bursts
    Midday: 1 x 30-60 s vigorous stair climb @ RPE 7-8
    Pair with a lunch or coffee break.
  3. 3
    Brisk Walk
    Afternoon: 1-2 min very brisk walk @ RPE 6-7
    A hill or fast corridor works if no stairs.
  4. 4
    Exercise-Snack Stair Bursts
    Evening: 1 x 30-60 s vigorous stair climb @ RPE 7-8
    Aim for 3+ bouts total across the day.
