How to move more during the day (e.g. by using AI)
I came across Alan Couzens’ article where he makes the case that your whole day is a workout — not just the gym session. That really clicked for me.
Instead of thinking about movement as something I “schedule,” I’ve been experimenting with weaving it into my workday:
Using my walking desk more often (helped by the Dial8 audio-to-text app + Elgato Stream Deck with custom Cursor AI buttons including push2talk, see image attached 😎).
Taking micro-movement breaks every 30–45 minutes — a stretch, some calf raises, or mobility work.
Keeping bands and kettlebells nearby so I can sneak in a set while thinking through problems.
It’s not about intensity, but consistency. Little shifts really add up.
👉 Curious:
How are you integrating more movement into your daily flow?
Any hacks, setups, or routines that keep you active while staying productive?
What’s been your best “hidden workout” lately?

For me, it’s just using my standing desk for +60% of the day.
I’ve also heard that doing 10 deep squats every 45 minutes can have a similar impact on blood sugar as a 30-minute walk, so I just try to fit in as many deep squats as I can throughout the day :)
That said, I don’t currently have any AI helping me with that yet

Arnold Schwarzenegger once said that daily movement was like brushing his teeth to him -an essential, non-negotiable part of life. This really helped me approach movement as a conscious and integral part of everything I do during the day, not as a chore I need to do only in a gym.
From the moment I wake up, I incorporate small movements throughout the day -morning stretches, regular breaks to move and get exposed to sunlight, walking while brainstorming work tasks. I also keep it diverse so my body doesn’t get bored- cycling, brisk walks, swimming, gym sessions, dancing.
Even my meditation practice revolves around walking. The walking meditation helps me stay more in tune with my body and its needs throughout the day. When you’re connected to your body’s signals, movement stops feeling forced and starts feeling natural.
Like you mentioned with Alan Couzens’ insight, it’s about shifting from “scheduling” movement to weaving it seamlessly into your daily flow. The consistency of small, integrated movements throughout the day creates this compound effect that’s way more sustainable than trying to cram everything into one intense gym session.
