00:00:00
You can change the trajectory of your
00:00:02
life by doing
00:00:07
every hour on the hour.
00:00:08
>> According to the World Health
00:00:09
Organization, we're getting increasingly
00:00:11
more sedentary. We're moving less and
00:00:13
less in part because of technology, but
00:00:15
also there was this really interesting
00:00:17
study done by the Cleveland Clinic. They
00:00:19
talk about people who are active
00:00:21
sedentary. And this
00:00:24
this felt a little bit personal if I'm
00:00:25
honest. It says a major finding in 2025
00:00:29
found a danger of being active
00:00:31
sedentary, which is people who exercise
00:00:33
for like 30 to 60 minutes but sit for
00:00:35
the remaining 10 hours a day. If you sit
00:00:38
for more than 10 hours a day, your risk
00:00:39
of cardiovascular disease increases even
00:00:42
if you meet weekly exercise goals
00:00:44
because prolonged sitting shuts down
00:00:46
lipoprotein lipes, an enzyme essential
00:00:49
for burning fat and cleaning glucose
00:00:52
from the blood. That's annoying to read
00:00:53
because I feel like that's me.
00:00:55
Unfortunately, this is the life we're
00:00:56
living in. We are becoming more
00:00:57
sedentary in our day-to-day lives. We're
00:01:00
sitting more. We're not going out as
00:01:01
much. There's younger kids uh on video
00:01:04
games. They're scrolling. They're
00:01:05
increasing our risk of type 2 diabetes,
00:01:08
cardiovascular disease. We're not
00:01:10
getting our 10,000 steps per day,
00:01:13
increasing our risk of all of these
00:01:14
diseases. But how can we tackle that?
00:01:17
Well, we can tackle that with what we
00:01:19
call exercise snacks. And there was this
00:01:22
study that was done that showed that
00:01:23
just doing 10 air squats every hour on
00:01:26
the hour
00:01:27
>> like this.
00:01:28
>> There you go. 10 of those. If you do 10
00:01:30
of those, you can outweigh the benefits
00:01:34
of a 30inut power walk
00:01:36
>> every hour.
00:01:37
>> Yeah.
00:01:38
>> For how many hours?
00:01:39
>> Eight. This is primarily because when
00:01:42
you eat, you get a massive spike of
00:01:44
glucose. And the best way to bring that
00:01:46
glucose spike back down is by doing any
00:01:49
form of exercise. Go out and go for a
00:01:51
fast run. Do an air squat.
