“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The School of Greatness, she describes exercise snacks as short bursts of movement that interrupt long periods of sitting. In a randomized crossover study of 18 men with overweight or obesity, breaking up an 8.5-hour sitting period with repeated squat or walking breaks improved post-meal glucose control.”
