How a 5-Minute Walk Can Help You Burn More Fat and Boost Energy

If you’re trying to lose fat, improve your energy, or simply feel better during the day — but you’re glued to a desk, working long hours, and don’t have time for extra workouts — this is for you.

Most people think their one-hour workout makes up for sitting all day. It doesn’t.

The truth is, long periods of sitting slow your metabolism, increase insulin resistance, and trigger fat storage — especially around the belly and waist. And the longer you stay sedentary, the harder it becomes for your body to switch back into fat-burning mode.

One of the simplest solutions?

Stand up and walk for 5 minutes every 90 minutes.

This micro-habit is a core part of The Daily Movement Upgrade™, a system I teach that helps you shift out of fat storage mode and build more metabolic momentum — without needing to overhaul your routine or add more training sessions.

Why this habit matters

When you sit for too long, your body starts to shift into energy-conserving mode.
