In this episode, I talk about four simple but powerful ways to be more active in daily life.

Experts now agree that your overall level of movement—not your formal workouts—is the single most important factor for long-term health. You can’t just hit your morning spin class and then sit around the rest of the day. In fact, research on the “Active Couch Potato Syndrome” shows that even devoted exercisers can suffer from the diseases of sedentary living if the rest of their life is spent in a chair. Katy Bowman calls this the “lazy athlete mentality,” where you give yourself a hall pass for inactivity because you already worked out.

I share four specific ways to break that pattern: start a morning exercise routine to set the tone for the day, sprinkle in brief micro workouts whenever you can, find more opportunities to walk (yes, even laps around the block count), and finally, add properly structured workouts to maintain strength and muscle mass.

These habits not only boost energy and focus, but form the foundation for longevity, vitality, and graceful aging.

TIMESTAMPS:

The single most important obligation for human health is to just increase all forms of general everyday activity than it is to adhere to a devoted fitness regimen. [01:01]

Burn more energy and get out of this energy toxicity situation. [04:10]

Starting your day with an exercise routine has many benefits. Do something toward movement as soon as you wake up every day. [06:12]

Micro workouts are described as just a brief interlude from your busy life. It can be something explosive and powerful like taking the stairs instead of elevator or even squats at your work cubicle. [08:50]

Walk more in general every day. [11:36]

Of course structured workouts are wonderful and contribute to a long, healthy, active, energetic life. [12:57]
