Liz Josefsberg shares her strategies for overcoming the common mental barriers to staying active, such as the temptation to remain seated and prioritize other tasks 1. She emphasizes the role of wearable technology in motivating movement, suggesting that devices can serve as triggers to remind us to get up and move 1.

She stresses the importance of integrating movement into daily routines, such as walking after coffee or taking short breaks to stand and move 3.
