Frustrated with Exercise? How Move More Moments Can Re-engineer Your Routine
Exercise can be medicine for the heart, yet most of us still struggle to fit it into daily life. Dr. Regina Druz sits down with exercise physiologist Dr. Jim Walter to explore how movement shapes cardiovascular health and why small choices matter more than we think. He introduces “move more moments,” simple ways to counter a sedentary lifestyle and build habits that actually last. How much activity is enough to lower risk? Could short bursts of physical activity make the difference that decades of research suggest?
Together, they look at exercise through the lens of physiology and integrative cardiology, connecting everyday actions to measurable outcomes like stronger VO2 max, better blood pressure control, and greater resilience over time. The conversation also points out resistance training, balance, and mobility as essential parts of health preservation, especially as we age. This is a thoughtful, practical take on what it really means to move with your heart in mind.
