When to Add Movement

After calls: stand and walk to another room before the next task.

Before lunch: take a short outdoor loop if weather and timing suit.

During chores: split tasks into small rounds instead of doing everything at once.

On weekends: attach easy movement to markets, beaches, gardens, or parks.
