Introduction
A sedentary lifestyle is hazardous to our health.
Physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, behind high blood pressure, tobacco use, and high blood sugar.
The World Health Organization attributes physical inactivity to 3.2 million premature deaths.
When we sit for too long, we’re outsourcing the job of our muscles and skeleton (designed to hold our bodyweight) to furniture and gravity, which can lead to soft tissue injuries, pain, and discomfort.
Want to live longer and be healthier? Your body is designed to move, not sit.
In this book, Amanda Sterczyk, personal trainer and founder of The Move More Institute, teaches you how to reap the benefits of being less sedentary without sweating it out at the gym.
