Knowing you should exercise more can feel daunting, especially when you\u2019re just starting out. Some people don\u2019t feel they can fit in the full amount of physical activity their doctor recommends\u2014and they give up on moving altogether. But those recommendations are just guidelines. It doesn\u2019t have to be all or nothing. Try to focus on being less sedentary rather than more active. For example, you do not have to reach the goal of 10,000 steps per day in a week, but this could be the goal to reach over two to three months.<\/p>\n
Research shows that sitting still for long periods of time can cancel out the effects of 30 minutes of exercise. There is evidence that being too sedentary, such as prolonged time in front of a TV, is perhaps as harmful to your heart health as not exercising at all. Prolonged inactivity is linked to obesity and diabetes, even in people who are active for part of the day.<\/p>\n
Yes, daily exercise is important, but so is regularly getting up and just moving around throughout the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
