What is the true definition of sedentary and what does that life look like in today’s world? Can you be highly active but also sedentary at the same time? The answers will shock you.
Sadly, in our ever-advancing tech savvy world we are losing our fitness and ultimately our physical health and well-being… Movement itself is on the losing end of 21st century advancements in modern day conveniences and commerce. And this decline in activity and exercise actually begins in our 20s and often even earlier!
The age-old saying is absolutely true:
“Use it or lose it.” -Jimmy Connors (Tennis Legend and Champion)
Today co-hosts Tonya Fines and Chris Wilson tackle this extraordinary concept. That as intelligent and health conscious as we are right now, we’ve never been more obese and unhealthier as a society. We are living longer than ever before but are we actually healthier, stronger and more fit?
"As adults we don't have recreation anymore and our bodies are not subject to all of those different angles and all of a sudden, we feel old." -Chris Wilson
