Move More, Feel Better: Small Steps to Better Wellbeing

Marcus Axelson,
Myles Wellbeing

With spring in the air, there’s no better time to shake off the winter slump and take charge of our movement. The longer days and warmer weather create the perfect opportunity to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and get our bodies moving. Whether you’ve been hibernating through the colder months or simply looking for a fresh start, now is the moment to make movement a daily priority.

Regular activity isn’t just great for our physical health, it works wonders for our overall wellbeing. Exercise boosts energy levels, sharpens focus, and lifts our mood, making it easier to tackle daily tasks with a positive mindset. Even small, simple changes can lead to big improvements in how we feel. Setting personal step goals, taking screen breaks to stretch, or opting for a walk instead of a short drive are all easy ways to integrate movement into our routines.

But movement doesn’t have to be a solo effort, setting team goals can be a fantastic way to bring people together, boost morale, and build stronger connections. Whether it’s a step challenge, a lunchtime walk, or a collective target to reach by the end of the month, shared goals encourage camaraderie, trust, and motivation. Friendly competition and team accountability make it easier (and more fun!) to stay on track. Plus, achieving milestones as a group fosters a positive culture that extends beyond movement – strengthening teamwork, communication, and overall engagement.

For those who thrive on tracking progress, a fitness tracker can be a game-changer. These devices help keep us accountable, turning movement into motivation and progress into a habit. Seeing our steps add up or reaching a new milestone provides a sense of achievement, pushing us to stay consistent and challenge ourselves further.

So, why not take advantage of the brighter days ahead! Whether it’s a morning stretch, a lunch break walk, or an evening jog, every movement counts. By committing to small, daily actions, we set ourselves up for a healthier, happier season.
