With more desk jobs, longer commutes, and evenings spent watching TV or scrolling on our phones, many of us end up sitting far more than we realize. But did you know that spending more than 6 to 8 hours a day sitting can increase your risk of chronic illnesses, even if you exercise regularly?
From back pain and fatigue to heart disease or low mood, a sedentary lifestyle can take a real toll on health and wellbeing.
💬 So let’s talk:
Would you say your lifestyle is more active or sedentary?
Have you noticed any health or mood changes from sitting too much?
Do you have tips or tricks that help you move more during the day?

Let’s share ideas and encourage each other to build healthier, more movement-friendly routines, one step (or stretch!) at a time.
