“Going to the gym, even several times a week, does not reverse the harmful effects of prolonged sitting” - Dr James Levine
Regular workouts are great for improving strength, cardiovascular fitness and body shape but fail to counteract the negative health impacts of an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. To stay fresh, energised and healthy it’s really important you stay active and keep moving between training sessions without adding excessive physical stress to your body.
