Did you know that most of us now spend more than half our waking hours sitting? We sit at the office, in the car, and on the couch, even though everybody knows that sitting for long periods makes you sick and damages your health.
A study found that 57.2 percent of men and 50.2 percent of women sit for more than 4 hours straight without moving each day: this is called “sedentary behaviour.” Those are alarming numbers, considering that the human body is designed to walk for 20-30km daily.
It is time to rediscover the joys of walking and running. The summer season is helping indeed: it is time to get up on your feet and start enjoying your surroundings.
