New View, New Life #4

What if five minutes could change your health?

In this inspiring episode of New View, New Life, I sit down with Lea Wiens, a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Physical Literacy Advocate with over 30 years of experience, to explore how small, mindful bursts of movement—what Lea calls “movement snacks”—can transform your physical and mental well-being.

💪 Lea shares how short, intentional movement breaks can lower blood sugar, reduce stress, improve mood, and reawaken the body-mind connection. We also dive into:

• Why sitting too long—even if you exercise daily—can still harm your health

• How to move with presence instead of pressure

• The science of habit stacking and how to fit movement into your day

• Moving with nature’s elements — fire, air, water, earth, and ether

• The link between movement, mental health, and social connection

• Aligning movement with your energy cycles and life stages

Discover how micro-movements can help you reclaim your energy, focus, and joy in an increasingly sedentary world.
