Learn the Concept of Recess for Wellness

We often go back to elementary school when we hear someone talk about recess, right?

The concept of Real Recess Wellness is still an active break in your day, just for adult life.

There have been many books written about small “fitness snacks” that add up to an active lifestyle. Real Recess Wellness puts those breaks into routines making it easier to develop habits. Once these routines turn into habits, it’s like second nature and individuals can modify them to fit their personality. Let’s give some examples:

Say you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. Real Recess Wellness addresses that in three ways. First, we have the “Evening Wind-Down” routine that starts one hour before getting into bed and preps your mind and body for a full night’s rest. Then, we have the “Wake-Up” Routine that starts before you even open your eyes to prime you for the day. If that is not enough, there is a practice once a week to modify your 1 year, monthly and daily goals which is posted on your bathroom mirror (or somewhere similar).

Another example of a Real Recess routine turning into a habit is performing one of three Real Recess Staple Movements for at least 30 seconds for every 30 minutes of inactivity. This keeps metabolism firing, mobility in joints and cardiovascular circulation.

That is a brief overview of the concepts of Real Recess Wellness. Depending on your personality, you can follow the website here and jump right into the daily schedule. Or, if you are just getting started with healthy wellbeing, download this free 9-week Lifestyle Modification workbook and learn one small step each week.

The next step after turning these routines into habits is to start changing your living environment whether it is home or office. It might sound extreme but adding objects to climb over or crouch under will burn even more calories, keep you flexible and strong. Imagine a mini playgound inviting you to move throughout your day.
