Choose by context

More than one way for movement to count.

A movement menu keeps several small options available so one disrupted plan does not become no movement at all.

A movement menu is a short list organized by the conditions of real life: time, place, support, company and inclination. It replaces one ideal routine with a few honest options.

Design the decision before the moment.

Question	Example option
How much time?	Eighty seconds, five minutes or an open-ended walk
Where?	Chair, desk, room, stairs or outside route
What support?	Seated, stable surface nearby or freely standing
With whom?	Alone, alongside someone or as part of an errand
What sounds tolerable?	A stretch, a shift, a walk—or no guided movement

The menu is useful when it makes choosing lighter. If it grows into a catalogue that needs tracking, trim it back to three dependable options.

For a small space.

Walk gently in place, let the arms swing, take a small step to either side and return to an easy stance. Make sure the floor is clear and every step feels stable.

Small-space movementFour cues, twenty seconds each.

For a route you already know.

The walking pause is deliberately unambitious: begin at an easy pace, keep the route simple, look where you are going and slow before stopping. Do not follow the screen while walking; listen to the timer only where that is safe.

Walking pauseA route, not a distance target.
