Does walking to the letterbox count? What about gardening, housework, or five minutes of stretching?In this episode of Into the Green Zone we challenge the idea that only structured exercise is worthwhile. We explain why your body responds to effort, not labels, and how expanding your definition of movement can reduce pressure, build consistency, and make movement feel more accessible.You'll also learn two practical tools you can use straight away: the Talk Test for cardiovascular effort and an everyday strength check-in to help you choose an intensity that suits your body and your goals.
