JoEllen, Sherri, I nicked it I found I resonated really well with exercise snack as a phrase. It sounded so achievable and friendly. And I do well on committing myself to 5 minutes exercise snack rather than a 40 minute dvd for instance

it was a phrase used on a documentary where they were aiming to prove that , say, five exercise snacks through the day had just as much benefit as one longer 'workout'...…… now, workout sounds like so much effort, so this fits me better.

Another benefit is one exercise snack suggested was to raise arms, with light weights, while watching TV. That's a good one Its the fitting it into a day that works so well
