"Instant Recess is a call to all of us to get up and move. I’m betting that [[It]] can convince anyone that moving more is not only good for health, but easy and lots of fun to do.”

- Marion Nestle, PhD, Food Politics

A woman of vision, Dr. Antronette (Toni) Yancey pioneered the concept of incorporating exercise into small bursts
of activity that could be done by anyone, at anytime.
She used her national platform to transform home and workplace environments, schools, churches, and sports arenas as she spoke of the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle.
On April 23, 2013, Dr. Yancey passed away after
a heroic fight against non-smokers lung cancer.

Today, Dr. Yancey’s legacy is carried forward through
the continuation of her lifelong passion, Instant Recess®.
