Stand Up and Move Every Hour to Reset Energy

The Problem

Your energy drops steadily throughout the day. By 3 PM you're dragging.

The Hack

Every hour: stand up, walk for 1-2 minutes, do 10 squats or stretches. Set a recurring alarm. Two minutes is all it takes to reset.

Why It Works

Prolonged sitting reduces blood flow to the brain by 15%, directly causing fatigue. Brief movement restores circulation, delivers oxygen, and clears metabolic waste that causes sluggishness.

Pro Tips

• Set hourly phone/watch reminders
• Walk to refill water = double benefit
• 10 squats take 30 seconds and reset energy immediately
• Standing desks help but don't replace actual movement
