That study you mentioned about squats and blood glucose is actually pretty fascinating. The researchers found that just 15 seconds of bodyweight squats every 30 mins reduced post-meal glucose spikes by around 40% compared to sitting continously. It's crazy how such a small ammount of movement can have such a big impact on metabolic health. I've been implementing this at my desk job and it's been a game changer.
