10 Air Squats Could Change Your Health

We tend to think of exercise as something that happens once a day — maybe during an hour at the gym or on a run. But research continues to show that what we do throughout the day matters just as much as our dedicated workout time.

Here’s one fascinating finding: doing just 10 air squats every 45 minutes can lower blood sugar by 21%.

Why is that such a big deal? Because even mild elevations in blood sugar — not just in people with diabetes — can lead to fatigue, brain fog, sugar cravings, and long-term issues like inflammation and heart disease.

When you move regularly, even briefly, your muscles act like a sponge, pulling sugar out of your bloodstream and using it for energy. This helps keep your metabolism steady and your energy levels balanced.

But movement is just one piece of the puzzle. Nutrition plays a crucial role too:

• What you eat determines how much sugar enters your system.

• How you move helps your body process that sugar efficiently.

When both are in sync, you’ll feel more energized, recover better, and build a foundation for lasting health.

At KVH Wellness, I believe that real progress comes from these small, sustainable habits — the things you can do daily that don’t require perfection, just consistency.

So here’s a small action to try today: every time you’ve been sitting for 45 minutes or more, stand up and do 10 air squats (or go for a quick walk). These little breaks can add up to a big difference in your energy and overall health.

Your body doesn’t need extreme changes — it needs consistent care. Start with ten squats.
