Ep. 38 - The Sedentarism Epidemic (and Why ‘Exercise’ Isn’t Enough!)


Listen Later

Sitting is the new smoking. In this episode, Chris explores the dangers of sedentarism (living a sedentary lifestyle) and its consequences. As the name suggests, sedentarism is simply living a sedentary lifestyle. In other words, one based around low levels of movement and activity.

He also takes a look why formal exercise such as running, cycling and swimming isn't enough - and what we can do about it. If you listen to this podcast often, you may have already guessed what it is...!
