is One Hour In the gym enough?
This clip was thought provoking and I decided it needed its own blog rather than being lumped into the Friday Thoughts post.
The takeaway: exercise does not replace all day movement - we can’t cram all of our daily movement needs into a 60-minute session in the gym.
We need to be moving frequently, and building that into our lives. My hope is that through going to a gym, and spending a dedicated hour working on your health and fitness will then inspire you to make choices that support a more movement rich lifestyle. Taking more walks, parking farther away, sitting on the floor, night time foam rolling and stretching sessions, standing desks, playing games, sports and the like.
Use the gym as a reason to move more - not as a justification to be lazy.
As for the part about gym memberships doubling… Obviously, what hasn’t since the year 2000?
