What's a good movement cycle? Both time and activity? My watch reminds me to move to try and get 250 steps an hour, so hourly I try to get up and get some step

What's a good movement cycle? Both time and activity?
My watch reminds me to move to try and get 250 steps an hour, so hourly I try to get up and get some steps. However that's not an increased heart rate and etc.
- nickjj 10y agoI break up my day with 3x 30min walks where I run about 5min per 30min in spurts. No real science or thought process to the duration. Also spend about 12 hours at a homemade standing desk[1]. It has really improved everything about my life since I started standing about a year ago.

- ourmandave 10y agoI use a Pomodoro Timer. Every 25 minutes I take a break. On the 4th break I have a grilled cheese with tomato sandwich. http://www.food.com/recipe/grilled-cheese-tomato-sandwich-49981 http://www.food.com/recipe/grilled-cheese-tomato-sandwich-49...

- other_herbert 10y agoMoving will increase your heart rate... It might no be at v02 max but it will be higher than resting
- notheguyouthink 10y agoSure, i just meant it's not what i thought was a "meaningful" increase. Ie, i'd like to at least try and offset the damage i'm doing by sitting all day. So i'm wondering if some basic movement every hour will offset that? Or do i really need to get my heart pumping? etc.
