Getting Outside, Getting Moving

Set up the smallest amount of daylight and movement you would really do.

Purpose: Set up the smallest amount of daylight and movement you would really do.

When to use: Use this if whole days are going by indoors and mostly sitting.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Where could you stand or sit outside for five minutes? Name the spot.
    A step, a porch, the parking lot, an open window.
  2. Track four days. Keep the numbers honest, not impressive.
  3. Looking at those four days, what do you notice?
  4. What is a realistic amount to aim for next week?

Five minutes of daylight is not a cure. It is a small nudge, and small nudges add up.
