This informative and inspirational book offers a call to action to help people get moving and improve their health. Using a warm, reader-friendly narrative that draws on solid scientific research, personal experience and her own poetry, Dr. Yancey calls for a radically different approach: one that respects diversity and is grounded in the cultures of those most at risk.
Rather than encouraging unhealthful habits like cigarette breaks or high fat snacks, Instant Recess proposes regular 10 minute exercise breaks that are easily incorporated into school, work, and community life. The inclusion of consistent, scheduled activity breaks in daily routines can reap a host of benefits for individuals and organizations, including better physical and mental health, decreased job-related injuries, enhanced social connectivity and increased productivity.
Instant Recess makes a compelling case that what's good for the waistline is also good for the bottom line.
