Australian research shows that breaking up your day with just 2-3 minute walks every hour can significantly improve blood sugar levels and reduce joint stiffness. You don't need to walk for 30 minutes straight - parking further away, taking the stairs, or walking to the letterbox all count towards your daily activity goal.
